Terabytes of Old Usenet Articles since 1980s Restored in 471,000 News Groups (news.admin.peering.narkive.com)

I love treasure hunting. Sometimes Usenet feels like the dusty old thrift store of the Internet. If you have ever found a thrift store with rows of shelves chock full of books, old compact discs, and ancient cassette tapes, then you know what I mean.

Turns out we didn't need a blockchain. Newsgroup was a pretty good "let the rest of the world mirror it."
