From Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu Tue May 1 01:44:45 2012 From: Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu (Michael Paoli) Date: Tue, 01 May 2012 01:44:45 -0700 Subject: [buug] BUUG list & archive moved ... redirects? :-) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20120501014445.77613f53fyaabeww@webmail.rawbw.com> Lovely, thanks all! And ... perhaps to be just a wee bit more lovely :-), if it can be managed: Re: www.weak.org site ... to help both humans and search engines to find moved content, I might suggest, at least approximately (and may not be the full set, and these may not be fully tested): RewriteEngine On #admin interface, list info, member options RewriteRule ^/mailman/(admin/buug|listinfo/buug|options/buug)(|/.*)$ http://buug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/$1$2 [L,R=permanent] # List archives, directory portion of messages is *not* preserved! # (message numbers changed), e.g.: # http://www.weak.org/pipermail/buug/2011-May/003853.html became # http://buug.org/pipermail/buug/2011-May/003826.html so we can't simply # and usefully preserve the path portion RewriteRule ^/pipermail/buug/.*$ http://buug.org/pipermail/buug/ [L,R=permanent] Re: buug.org site ... http & www.buug.org "vs." buug.org I notice www.buug.org is CNAME to buug.org, so, perhaps to reduce confusion/ambiguity and improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO) (search results, etc.), perhaps "we" could HTTP 301 redirect the accesses using www.buug.org to corresponding URLs using Host: buug.org, e.g.: RewriteEngine On # if we have host header and it's not in an expected canonical form, # rewrite it to canonical http://buug.org/ form RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "!^buug\.org$" [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} "!^$" RewriteRule (.*) http://buug.org/$1 [L,R=permanent] Thanks. :-) references/excerpts: > From: buug-request at buug.org > Subject: Welcome to the "Buug" mailing list > Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:45:47 -0700 > Many thanks to jammer for running the BUUG list for so long!

(The notice on their website says effective June 1 but in fact they refuse nntp connections as of now.) Does anyone know of a working nntp server which allows posting? Text groups only is fine (preferred in fact), SSL and authentication is preferred, free beer is preferred but maybe a small donation wouldn't be out of question.
