asciilifeform: meanwhile, apropos of nuffin, a lulzy oldie ('14) re who runs most (or all) of the world's remaining usenet isps.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-02-18 17:02:08 asciilifeform: for thread-completeness : typical usenet pipe vendor, '6 $ / mo'. and that's ~with alt.binaries.*~. the price point suggests that these are ~all~ subsidized by usg , to work as honeypots...

asciilifeform: ( not long ago in fact someone wrote to asciilifeform , 'wai don't you offer a usenet feed ?' )
snsabot: Logged on 2020-02-18 16:54:51 asciilifeform: in entirely unrelated noose, thought 'why not set up usenet node! wanted for 25yrs nao'. but after 5min of napkin arithm realized that it can't be done with a 100M/s or even 1G/s pipe -- according to various sources (somewhat stale #s, so prolly optimistic) it nao weighs >100TB/day... re 'what if exclude alt.binaries.*' found 0 figs from this decade even. so open q.
asciilifeform: ... imho the q of 'how do they get away w/ charging <10 $ / mo' is conclusively settled. and answer is same as re vpnism services.
asciilifeform: they'd prolly luvv to offer both types of honepot for phree -- but likely would arouse suspicion even in the 'room-temp iq' folx who presently subscribe.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-02-18 17:09:29 asciilifeform: otoh, a usenet-like animal built w/ support for wot, would be imho interesting.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-03-19 12:32:20 asciilifeform: why the hell is a typical public www bound to 1 box? specifically, why could not exist as an auto-mirrorable directory of signed material ?
