Synchronet BBS VS sumi.news

Seems like you got the easiest ways already, but perhaps the most fun way is through the Synchronet BBS system, which will run on Windows, Linux, or *BSD (not sure if this includes OS X...probably, with effort). It's primary purpose of course is to host an ANSI BBS, but it includes services for a web interface to the message base, as well as NNTP, gopher, ftp...heck, even POP/SMTP if you really wanna go nuts. ... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Check https://synchro.net. You can access thru BBS's (telnet/SSH) or NNTP too, and you'll have night convos at FIDOnet and DOVEnet, both tech and non tech. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Rec.radio.shortwave Sometimes I interact over NNTP on https://synchro.net (they have a web/BBS interface too). As the pace is much slower, I can comment once or twice a week and everything is still good. Finally, Gopher and Gemini sites. A really slow pace, no ads, no likes, no bullshit. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

No clue, because the general quality and incentives of the news business is so terrible. I enjoy Techmeme[1] and sumi.news[2], though. 1. https://techmeme.com/river 2. https://sumi.news. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

Two things I read: https://sumi.news/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events Just for a quick sweep. Then I open Twitter/X and browse to my local news site. This takes at most 5 minutes to skim world (and local) events and catch up. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Sumi News[0] is a good non-biased sweep of current events, aswell as Wikipedia's current events page[1] [0] https://sumi.news/ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Https://www.producthunt.com/ (For new SaaS products and interesting books) https://sumi.news/ (One quick sweep of current events) https://pinboard.in/popular (Everything that is trending on the web) And of course, Hackernews (I regularly browse /newest when I am feeling serendipitous). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

This is the second time I've mentioned it today, but https://sumi.news might fit the bill. It is run by a HNer, although I can't remember their username offhand. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
