Re: Beginner at running Inn2, looking for a peering connection for a private news server

Hello,
 
TL;DR - looking for a peering setup for a single user instance of
Inn2. In time my kids and wife may join me on Usenet, but that is not
yet.
 
Longer version;
I learned about and used Usenet some 30 years ago, alongside Fidonet.
I am getting _very_ tired of the 'modern' interwebs and I want to get
back into Usenet. And yes, once I figure out why my router is so
reluctant forwarding port 70, I will be running a Gopher server as
well.
 
Running Inn2 stems from my work where I want/need to keep up with a
dozen or so linux kernel mailing lists which so happens are available
via NNTP to read at nntp.lore.kernel.org. But reading them remote was
very slow, so as any self-respecting geek, the answer was naturally
to spin up Inn2 and mirror down the lists I wanted so I have them
locally with a year worth of articles for history.
 
Now I would like to get peering so that I have most of the Big8
locally as well and I can post locally and have it funnel out. I have
not set up peering before so I may need an extra pointer or two. I
can guarantee that there will be no spam as the only user is me and
maybe my immediate family (wife and kids) should they become
interested which I am not counting on.
 
I do not want any binary groups, just the text ones, and if possible,
I would like to be able to get a backlog from the groups using
nntpget and a date, so that I have some light reading until they
start to fill up naturally.
 
I am located in Sweden and the server is running Debian 12 and Inn2
version 2.7.1.
