More NNTP filtering #nntp #feedbase #illuminant #gnus

I couple of years ago I got filtering on the Supersedes: header going in Gnus for Feedbase.

Yesterday I did the same exercise for the Keywords: header, which I needed to score down lobste.rs posts with... let's say... a specific tag.

So now LIST OVERVIEW.FMT and XOVER in both Feedbase and Illuminant includes Keywords - for Illuminant this also prompted me to change the SQL for the overview queries for the less used groups to be as efficient as the one for the timeline; bonus!

How to comment, in excruciating detail…

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.

To post a comment here, you need to:

  • Configure a newsreader¹ to connect to the server koldfront.dk on port 1119 using nntps (nntp over TLS).
  • Open the newsgroup called lantern.koldfront and post a follow up to the article.
¹ Such as Thunderbird, Pan, slrn, tin or Gnus (part of Emacs).

Or, you can fill in this form:
