minus-squaresonovebitch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·3 年前Is there a “usenet for dummies” guide somewhere, for 90s kids? Asking for a friend.
minus-squareZloubida@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·3 年前It’s quite easy, but you’ll need an account and a client. Create an account on eternal-september.org Change and note your password. Follow the tutorial of your elected client. I recommend !thunderbird@lemmy.world, you can learn how to add a Usenet account in Thunderbird here. Ask me if you have a question!
minus-squaretopinambour_rex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 年前Certainly. You should ask your favorite search engine.
minus-squareZloubida@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·3 年前It’s not that easy, because the vast majority of articles are for using Usenet to download binaries. It’s not what the article was talking about.
minus-squaretopinambour_rex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 年前Simply add a ‘-binaries’ ( just tested with Google) And first result : https://www.privacyaffairs.com/usenet-guide/
minus-squareZloubida@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 年前And yet… it’s a tutorial about how to download with Usenet.
minus-squaretopinambour_rex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 年前Sorry I failed you. I just read up the setup parts :/. It was so simpler when I used outlook abd my Internet provider offered access to newsgroups. Well it was back to 56k. I don’t think I regret those, now I have fiber.
