I miss CUJ. And Dr.Dobbs.

I've got backups of all of Dobbs articles and downloads, they use to be available in archive format. Also all of The C/C++ Users Journal magazines in the attic.

Same here, used to subscribe to all of them since around 1992 (LJ a bit later), at least LWN is still around.

Honestly, I would love to have a centralized website for C++ articles and discussion that isn't primarily a social media website. When I used to do a ton of MFC, I really got a lot of mileage out of pre-AI codeproject

BTW: Somebody made a website where you can search over 1 billion Usenet text posts from 1981 to the present. Unfortunately not free. It’s at https://www.usenet-rewind.com
