IPv6 Newsservers

Based on http://ipv6-or-no-ipv6.blogspot.com/2015/05/newsprovider-xsnews-offers-ipv6-access.html I wrote an oneliner to find out Xsnews resellers that provide IPv6 NNTP access. Oneliner plus result:

$ python lusje.py | awk '{ print "./nntptester.py " $1 }' | /bin/sh  | grep -vi unconfigured | grep -i -B1 -e "^200"

Better formatting

To get a better formatting, I fed the above list into another oneliner:

$ cat xsnews-resellers-with-ipv6.txt  | grep -vi "\-\-" | awk ' /Newsserver/ { print $NF } /Welcome/ { print substr($0,4+index($0," to ")) }'  | paste - - -d' '

So, if you have an account with one of these news providers, you can now access them via IPv6. And if these resellers do not publish a FQDN for their IPv6 newsserver, you can just fill out the IPv6 address in your IPv6 capable newsreader (like SABnzbd)
