time to try and figure out what the gently caress an nntp gateway is and how to set one up then i guess

e: no wait i should probably focus on yosbbs

Nah, focus on YOSBBS. The idea I had in mind was querying the forums and returning a response in SMTP/POP3/Whatever formatting (Like, acting like an email server). It supports folders (kinda) and threads. Interact with SA like it's a mailing list / inbox or whatever.

That being said NNTP is a better idea tbh,

My dad: Infranview, a thousand different pdf viewers, Firefox, and... Advanced System Care.

Seriously I've explained like ten times that he does not need it, that all it does is slow down the computer these days, and that it's probably running a bitcoin miner on his PC. But every time I uninstall it and explain this to him, he downloads it again some point in the future. :ughh:

My mum uses Linux, which is a nice change of pace, so her installed software are:

Libreoffice, Nomacs, GIMP (Although rages so much at the machine when using it that she starts crying??), VirtualBox (for Microsoft PaintShop Pro 2002, which she loves)

I spotted two different firewalls running my my dad's old laptop and suddenly realized that's why updates weren't installing. they kept tripping on either one because they were both set to 'maximum' and he denied every alert out of caution

Somehow this is still better than the alternatives lol
