OT: Recommend a decent news reader?

It doesn't always work. s.e.d is full of political whining personal arguments, almost to the point of making it unusable. They don't crosspost, they just act like children in their own back yards.

I'm using google groups (sigh...), but main reason is that I use several different computers/tablets during a day.

Is there a newsreader that will work across multiple devices? (so it shows which threads have been viewed etc)

Thanks

I just run Gnus on a machine I can ssh into from anywhere.

As long as you can use the same NNTP server with all devices and share the data on what has been read. If you can find readers for the platforms you use that use the same kind of file to keep track of that, then something like Dropbox would be handy to make that file available anywhere. Traditionally a plain ASCII file named .newsrc has been used.

I access groups from work and the firewall prevents me from doing that :-(

Ok, I wasn't aware of that, will need to look into that

Thanks

Does the company firewall filter port 80? (the http port)

Install your ssh server on port 80.
