public-inbox help for https://yhbt.net/lore/linux-hardening/

overview
--------

  public-inbox uses Message-ID identifiers in URLs.
  One may look up messages by substituting Message-IDs
  (without the leading '<' or trailing '>') into the URL.
  Forward slash ('/') characters in the Message-IDs
  need to be escaped as "%2F" (without quotes).

  Thus, it is possible to retrieve any message by its
  Message-ID by going to:

    https://yhbt.net/lore/linux-hardening/<Message-ID>/
    (without the '<' or '>')

  Message-IDs are described at:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message-ID

search
------

  This public-inbox has search functionality provided by Xapian.

  It supports typical AND, OR, NOT, '+', '-' queries present
  in other search engines.

  We also support search prefixes to limit the scope of the
  search to certain fields.

  Prefixes supported in this installation include:

    s:        match within Subject  e.g. s:"a quick brown fox"
    d:        match date-time range, git "approxidate" formats supported
              Open-ended ranges such as `d:last.week..' and
              `d:..2.days.ago' are supported
    b:        match within message body, including text attachments
    nq:       match non-quoted text within message body
    q:        match quoted text within message body
    n:        match filename of attachment(s)
    t:        match within the To header
    c:        match within the Cc header
    f:        match within the From header
    a:        match within the To, Cc, and From headers
    tc:       match within the To and Cc headers
    l:        match contents of the List-Id header
    bs:       match within the Subject and body
    dfn:      match filename from diff
    dfa:      match diff removed (-) lines
    dfb:      match diff added (+) lines
    dfhh:     match diff hunk header context (usually a function name)
    dfctx:    match diff context lines
    dfpre:    match pre-image git blob ID
    dfpost:   match post-image git blob ID
    dfblob:   match either pre or post-image git blob ID
    patchid:  match `git patch-id --stable' output
    rt:       match received time, like `d:' if sender's clock was correct

  Most prefixes are probabilistic, meaning they support stemming
  and wildcards ('*').  Ranges (such as 'd:') and boolean prefixes
  do not support stemming or wildcards.
  The upstream Xapian query parser documentation fully explains
  the query syntax:

message threading
-----------------

  Message threading is enabled for this public-inbox,
  additional endpoints for message threads are available:

  * https://yhbt.net/lore/linux-hardening/<Message-ID>/T/#u

    Loads the thread belonging to the given <Message-ID>
    in flat chronological order.  The "#u" anchor
    focuses the browser on the given <Message-ID>.

  * https://yhbt.net/lore/linux-hardening/<Message-ID>/t/#u

    Loads the thread belonging to the given <Message-ID>
    in threaded order with nesting.  For deep threads,
    this requires a wide display or horizontal scrolling.

  Both of these HTML endpoints are suitable for offline reading
  using the thread overview at the bottom of each page.

  The gzipped mbox for a thread is available for downloading and
  importing into your favorite mail client:

  * https://yhbt.net/lore/linux-hardening/<Message-ID>/t.mbox.gz

    We use the mboxrd variant of the mbox format described at:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox

  Users of feed readers may follow a particular thread using:

  * https://yhbt.net/lore/linux-hardening/<Message-ID>/t.atom

    Which loads the thread in Atom Syndication Standard
    described at Wikipedia and RFC4287:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(standard)
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287

    Atom Threading Extensions (RFC4685) are supported:

    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4685

additional protocols

  IMAP subfolder(s) are available under:
    imap://;AUTH=ANONYMOUS@rskvuqcfnfizkjg6h5jvovwb3wkikzcwskf54lfpymus6mxrzw67b5ad.onion/org.kernel.vger.linux-hardening
    # each subfolder (starting with `0') holds 50K messages at most
  
  Newsgroup available over NNTP:
    nntp://rskvuqcfnfizkjg6h5jvovwb3wkikzcwskf54lfpymus6mxrzw67b5ad.onion/org.kernel.vger.linux-hardening
  
  POP3 access is available:
    pop3://rskvuqcfnfizkjg6h5jvovwb3wkikzcwskf54lfpymus6mxrzw67b5ad.onion
  
  The POP3 password is: anonymous
  The POP3 username is: $(uuidgen)@org.kernel.vger.linux-hardening
  where $(uuidgen) in the output of the `uuidgen' command on your system.
  The UUID in the username functions as a private cookie (don't share it).
  By default, only 1000 messages are retrieved.  You may download more
  by appending `?limit=NUM' (without quotes) to the username, where
  `NUM' is an integer between 1 and 50000.
  Idle accounts will expire periodically.
