Mixmin and AIOE both tanked around the same time. Both have been
inaccessible for several days. Here are the current outputs that I am
getting:

It looks like the last message processed, was Jan.27 or so.

It didn't make a fuss when I sent a test message,
but it also didn't do anything with it.

I posted several test messages to mixmin at the outset. Some never
appeared in the feed. Two of them appeared a couple days later.

I have no idea how to contact the admins of these servers. If I did know
I would offer to help sort out the issues.

It would be nice if dizum and the others allowed client posting instead
of just remailer posts. Both mixmaster and yamn are a huge pain in the
rump. I stopped using them a long time ago.

Now that Tor is ubiquitous just using a client over Tor is anonymous
enough for me. I'm just trying to keep trolls and cranks from getting my
IP. I don't care if the spooks are watching, because they always are
watching.

We need more open Usenet servers. I can't set one up because I don't
have time or reliable Internet access to administer one. Otherwise I
would spin up a couple VPS nodes and do it. I'm so far out in the sticks
that Internet can go down or bog down for days, and we're the last on
the list to get fixed. We just endured a power outage of 4 days. I don't
want to offer a service that is highly unreliable.

OK, let's test it and see.
You never know how these things will turn out.

They always turn out for the worst. That's ow everything happens
unless you live on a desert island by yourself.
