I think the argument that is being made is that if you don't store something,
it will be lost, and that once it is lost it stays that way. So you need to
make the decision about what to archive before that happens.

If it were me, I would not actually bother to archive Usenet because there is
so little actual worthwhile traffic on Usenet these days. But I would be very
interested in maintaining archives from the past. But, I didn't keep those
archives from the past, so they are now lost to me.

Even if it's nearly 100% garbage, it's still useful so long as the
archives are redundant so as to be always there in the future. Take the
Bitcoin network as an example. If you want to prove you thought
something up, you can store a proof of your thought on the network.
That's a ``publication right'' that you can't get by publishing on your
homepage, say. See, for example,

https://cr.yp.to/docs/selfpipe.html

and suppose that homepage gets destroyed without anyone archiving it ---
the author loses the evidence of publication. Scientists have lots of
private services to archive their publications, but regular people can
only count on the USENET.

The Bitcoin network is expensive for this the purpose of publication,
while the USENET is cheaper --- though not cheap enough given all the
work people put in here.

Once one reaches the decision to archive it, one has to reach a decision
on what to do with the 6-figure number of Thai spam mails - and their
friends - which caused so many problems recently.
When I archived a couple of groups from the old Mozilla server I went
through the 150 000 messages in there, cutting the spam out. A lot of
that was by hand, although I did write some filters to handle part of
the job. That on a larger scale? Forget it, life's too short.

The posts that clueless Google Groups users reply to (as observed
back when I still saw them) after stumbling onto ancient threads
are an insight into some of the things that might seem irrelevent
to a future audience but are obviously being searched for and read
decades later.

Personally I _do_ find old Usenet threads in search results fairly
often myself. Sometimes from Google Groups, sometimes Narkive,
and there used to be lots of other group-specific Usenet archives
disguised as web forums but either they've been dying or Duck Duck
Go is filtering them out.

I don't try to encourage Usenet results in those web searches. I
don't know why I read others in these recent discussions saying
this has never happened to them. It must just be the questions I
ask, or because I use Duck Duck Go. No not all such searches
are about very old computer hardware/software, some topics are
relatively timeless.

Anyway Narkive seems to be fueling the search engine indexes for
new Usenet threads, so if Google Groups keeps the old archives then
the situation shouldn't change. Maybe that Rocksolid archive will get
indexed and start showing up in results too, which might substitute
for some more of the Google Groups archive if they do eventually
remove that?

Nah, better explain you the difference between a signoff and

If people around you are saying abusive cancels are no problem, then I
think that's encouragement for you to abusively cancel all their
messages - after all, it is no problem and not abuse, according to them.

And what did the guy who has your unconditional support do?
See <un9ljj$16r4$1@cabale.usenet-fr.net>
I quote:
"A false manipulation on the cancellation robot targeting
the anonymous Zorro has unfortunately cancelled many legitimate
articles [cut] between December 5, 2023 and January 5, 2024
(one month, therefore)."

Will your server continue to withstand this abuse?
(I remind you that the previous newsmaster of the defunct alphanet
server had covered the 3600 illegitimate and voluntary cancellations
made over a year in one go).

Sincerely.

Absolutely, actually even more so now. And I don't even try to explain
why, either you wouldn't understand it or you're so full of
preconceptions that you wouldn't want to understand it anyway.
But unlike Marc, I don't get offended if someone insults me, persecutes
me or does bad things against me, also because in 100% of cases I will
agree with them. And despite being 40 years old I still have enough
energy to manage something like usenet, in fact right now I'm working to
expand the service I offer, and Olivier is part of this future, whether
you like it or not.

You're right, I can't understand a newsmaster who encourages and
supports a person who abuses from your server.

Then I'm older than you.
Although I don't see what age has to do with it.

When you complained about having only three feeds left, I answered your
call. But today I can't, in good conscience, continue to support you in
your action.

Thank you.

However, in order that I don't risk to cancel other legitimate posts,
for the anonymous hateful Zorro I will let you stop him to use your
server instead of me trying to cancel him afterwards.

Of course he uses a VPN so it is hard to stop him completely, but here
is the current list of posting-hosts he used on paganini :
posting-host="aJqRCYORex+qw7Hdj/favw.user.paganini.bofh.team"
posting-host="ip1JLA9M/LlzVZplJtZivw.user.paganini.bofh.team"
posting-host="ohsf5uaZzF4yAIVnImWjbA.user.paganini.bofh.team"
posting-host="zjSVH+s/XBbZv26RHT63rg.user.paganini.bofh.team"
posting-host="HFwRVUvzuKpUDkNDm25+uw.user.paganini.bofh.team"
posting-host="anR4YpMNijul/+hpGOvYXQ.user.paganini.bofh.team"

Apparently his account on eternal-september was already closed because
he doesn't use it anymore :
posting-host="45f3c7331614b9331d54ef10c35a8af6"
posting-host="b5bd1cf56581709933727c2fa571223a"
posting-host="53d4efb9463f1aaa9f16b58464a4d0f9"

posting-host="690e39402ab684ea861196540d64b30d"
posting-account="U2FsdGVkX1+KqbzvDQgvg4GEFpnip8+nFWN5jvJ7UB4="

And, before someone asks, let me recall that the cancellation of all
the posts of Zorro because of his many abuses has been decided by
consensus : <news:umh49a$jtn$1@cabale.usenet-fr.net>.

Sincerely,

I don't have a stake in this fight, but cancelling other people's
articles is not something that can be "decided by consensus". You don't
get to define your own rules for Usenet/NetNews at large.

The only people who can legitimately cancel an article are the poster
of said article and the admin of the server which injected the article
into the network. Anyone else is a no-no.

All in the earlier mentioned context of cancels being irrelevant for
any properly configured server.

Indeed! I found the "being 40 years old" part rather funny (no offense
intended). Most of us (YTIU) are not 40 years old but have 40 years (and
more) experience, expertise, etc..

Maybe on the Big8? On Usenet-fr (fr.*), this methode has existed for
(at least) more than two decades, either by hand (for instance by Denis
Liégeois) or by robot (the bleachbot of Xavier Roche is still active,
but too bad is not yet maintained).

Of course, someone who would abuse of the cancels would be signaled to
his/her news admin and see their account removed. If I was thought to
be abusing, there would be two ways of stopping me, either by making
remove my account on usenet-fr.net (where my bot reads the articles)
or by making remove my IHAVE access to paganini.bofh.team (where my
bot sends both cancels, and cancel reports to fr.usenet.abus.rapports).

Note that the anonymous llp, who now owns his own news server, refuses
all cancels on his server and is not directly touched by them. But he
has a grudge against me since before November 2020, when he used for
the first time the pseudonym LaLibreParole (later changed to llp) for
aggressing me. That is why he does everything he can to denigrate me.

I am very sorry that this fight had to arrive on this group.

Sorry, I meant "not maintained anymore". I am not very good in English.

So, if someone is insulted or bullied every day by the same poster and if
the newsmaster keeps the account alive the only thing that person can do
is leave usenet ?

I think you didn't ask the users, maybe because they were the ennemy :)

As said before, this is all a bit of a theoretical discussion, because
cancels are a thing of the past. That said, ....

On Usenet and NetNews in general. A 'local' hierarchy, i.e. like fr.*,
*could* be different *if* there is a organizational body which governs
this hierarchy *and* that body has *defined* the special procedures for
'approved' cancels, i.e. who, how, why, when, etc..

Just "decided by consensus" by some random group of people is not a
defined formal procedure. I assume there is no defined formal procedure,
otherwise people/you would by pointing to that procedure and that
organizational body would be issueing the cancels, not you.

Realize that while in the old days local hierarchies were indeed that,
local to some country, city, etc., that is no longer true. Local
hierarchies like fr.*, nl.* (for our country), etc. are carried by
servers the world over.

For example the fr.* hierarchy - or a least a part of it (416 groups)
- is carried by my NSP (News SP) News.Individual.Net. So I, a Dutch
user, can access a French hierarchy via a German server.

So if someone - i.e. you - issues cancels for articles which have been
posted to some fr.* newsgroup, these cancels (theorically) affect a
German server and a Dutch user. (This is assuming that these cancels
affect only fr.* groups. As far as I know, sofar, no-one has
specifically said so.)

Is that a proper way to do things? I do not think so. The person
issuing these cancels has no business affecting servers and people in
other countries.

As others, and I, have said, these cancels do not need to be stopped
by someone, they shouldn't be issued in the first place. As has been
mentioned, *if* - big if - there is a need, NoCeM is the proper
mechanism, not cancels.

BTW, you needing two servers (usenet-fr.net and paganini.bofh.team)
looks dodgy in and of itself. Why can't you use one?
