Panic’s New NNTP Server Farm – Sweet Upgrade

Unison.jpg

I got an email from the great guys at Panic that they have created a new Unison (NNTP) server farm to replace the old one. The old one was their own after they stopped using a service that did a good deal of filtering - all to the good. This new server farm is said to be bigger, faster, with more groups and longer retention.

One of the nice things they added was SSL access - built right into Unison. I like that only because sending plaintext anything these days is asking to get snooped or swiped. It just makes the connection a little more 'private'.

Love the work these guys do.
