Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    I’m very experienced with usenet, still using it since around the early 1990’s. Nowadays, the old chat forum style has basically gone, and it is now essentially just binaries used for movies/tv/audio/magazines/xxx

    Indexers list the contents, and providers give the access. I get downloads from Europe at 50-60 MBytes/sec. There are automation apps to auto download what you are after as soon as it is posted.

    The old text forums are still there, but are mostly just full of spam.
