What I am doing now is using a html://mywebsite/pub/ directory with lots of files in it that I want to publish in for example this newsgroup, I then just post a direct link to that file. So it has no index file and no links to it from the main site. It has many sub directories too. https://panteltje.nl/pub/GPS_to_USB_module_component_site_IXIMG_1360.JPG https://panteltje.nl/pub/pwfax-0.1/README So you need the exact link to access anything fine for publishing here... Maybe Usenet conversations are saved somewhere ? google still holds the archive? I have most postings saved here on the Raspberry Pi4 8GB I am using for web browsing and Usenet for what I found interesting back to 2006, older to back 1998 maybe on the old PC upstairs raspberrypi: ~/.NewsFleX # l total 692 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21971 Jan 9 2006 NewsFleX.xpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2576 Jul 30 2006 newsservers.dat.bak drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 1 2008 news.isu.edu.tw/ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 1 2008 textnews.news.cambrium.nl/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1 Mar 5 2009 global_custom_head drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Dec 6 2009 http/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99 Apr 4 2010 signature.org -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8531 Apr 4 2010 signature~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8531 Apr 4 2010 signature -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 816 Nov 9 2011 filters.dat.OK drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 5 2012 nntp.ioe.org/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 30 2015 news.altopia.com/ drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Mar 1 2020 news2.datemas.de/ drwxr-xr-x 109 root root 4096 Jun 1 2020 news.albasani.net/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 28 2020 setup/ drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Mar 1 2021 news.ziggo.nl/ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 1 2021 news.chello.nl/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 19 2021 news.neodome.net/ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Sep 1 2022 news.tornevall.net/ drwxr-xr-x 156 root root 4096 Nov 1 2022 news.datemas.de/ drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Jan 1 2023 news.aioe.cjb.net/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 2023 news.cambrium.nl/ drwxr-xr-x 52 root root 4096 Jan 1 2023 news.netfront.net/ drwxr-xr-x 60 root root 4096 Feb 1 2023 freenews.netfront.net/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1651 Feb 1 2023 urls.dat~ drwxr-xr-x 49 root root 4096 Apr 2 2023 freetext.usenetserver.com/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1698 Apr 18 2023 urls.dat drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Aug 2 2023 localhost/ drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Dec 15 06:57 194.177.96.78/ drwxr-xr-x 190 root root 4096 Dec 15 06:58 nntp.aioe.org/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1106 Feb 23 06:43 error_log.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 966 Feb 23 13:33 filters.dat~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 973 Mar 2 06:28 filters.dat drwxr-xr-x 57 root root 4096 Mar 3 11:42 news.eternal-september.org/ drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Mar 3 11:42 news.solani.org/ drwxr-xr-x 197 root root 4096 Mar 3 11:42 postings/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184263 Mar 6 04:45 newsservers.dat~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2407 Mar 6 04:45 posting_periods.dat~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 6 06:27 lockfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87 Mar 6 06:27 kernel_version -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107930 Mar 6 06:27 fontlist.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184263 Mar 6 06:27 newsservers.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2407 Mar 6 06:27 posting_periods.dat ..... lots of newsservers came and went over time...
