googlegroups stops Feb 2024...

[Meggie Hallenbach]

Hi,
just saw that google stops support for usenet in 3 month:

https://support.google.com/groups/answer/11036538?hl=en

This could be a problem for the bareos groups as the access will be way much more complicated as it already is (even my payed private newsgroup provider (news.eweka.nl) denies adding any gmane... groups to its list)!.

Maybe & hopefully there will be a web-based Forum one day in the future...;)

cheers

Hi,

yes, the google groups NNTP interface will be dropped on 2024-02-22, so
one month from now.
However, web-based and mailing list access will stay available
and I also expect that NNTP via gmane.io will continue to work, because
as far as I can see, gmane.io uses the mailing list interface to
communicate with bareos...@googlegroups.com

Personally, I access to via thunderbird newsgroup interface at
news://news.gmane.io:119/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bareos.user

So I hope (and expect), this will continue working.

So, what about https://groups.google.com/g/bareos-users ? Sure, this is
perfect, but usable. And it offers mailing integration.

Regards,
Jörg
