nntpserver.py VS superhighway84

Here's also a read-only NNTP/Usenet bridge for HN you can self-host https://github.com/epilys/nntpserver.py/blob/main/examples/h...

Here's a single file, no dependency nntp / Usenet server library in python3 I wrote. It includes an HN gateway as an example. I have used it with slrn (tui), meli (tui), pan (gui) and thunderbird (gui)

https://github.com/epilys/nntpserver.py

I wrote a dependency tree python3 library to make your own NNTP servers:

https://pypi.org/project/nntpserver/0.0.3/

https://github.com/epilys/nntpserver.py

It's used in my link aggregator forum, https://sic.pm/ which also has a mailing list bridge functionality.

As a demo, I have implemented a HN mirror on NNTP: (quoting README.md)

hnnntp.py querying news.ycombinator.com (hackernews) API and caching results in an sqlite3 database. A public instance might be online at nessuent.xyz:564 (TLS only)

I like the idea of something like SuperHighway84 for talking about our collections. We could make one called YoutubeGraveyard or something. There's also r/DHExchange

Superhighway84 is like a decentralized usenet/forum that runs off of ipfs.

superhighway84 uses orbitdb.

SuperHighway84 is a neat option for that.

Then, there's SuperHighway84 where people could announce what they have. Could create a highway strictly for youtube monitoring and have people create groups for whoever they're archiving.

I'm hopeful for SuperHighway84 as a place where people could organize archives. People could potentially build a highway for youtube archiving in general, or one dedicated to Louis if they thought he was becoming a big enough project. People could post what they have, what resolutions, etc. and eventually build what's considered a master copy.

If you can get superhighway84 to work then you could even use it as a meeting place to gather all the latest hot solidarity videos. People submitting files to be included in your IPNS address.

If people wanted, they could probably make an archival hub using Superhighway84, which is like a decentralized forum/usenet. I imagine people breaking things down into categories and posting CIDs for people to include in collections.

This may help to quench your nostalgia https://github.com/mrusme/superhighway84

If anyone could convince people to use it, SuperHighway84 could potentially be a place for people to curate content. I think I would prefer it to reddit because things would be grouped together, maybe it doesn't matter. Could have like alt.linux.isos, dead.youtube.channels, etc.
