This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around.
Yes, and some of Reddit’s “finest” detective work was on display while searching for the suspects.
Of course they are - it’s very difficult for a rat to use a lighter.
Don’t take your toilet shut-off valve for granted. Make sure it still moves regularly, preferably when you’re not millimeters away from getting shit water all over your floor and feet.
I certainly had to fiddle with it a bit to start, but once it’s up and running it’s seamless and less prone to issues than torrenting IMO.
It’s likely faster - no waiting for seeds to connect and ramp up. I routinely see 900+Mbps from my provider from start to finish.
You aren’t at risk of exposing your true IP or downloads list to anyone but your Usenet provider.
Zero seeding required.
Older content is more likely to still be available in my experience (and not just with 1 dial-up seeder).
On occasion I have to go to private trackers when something never made it to Usenet, but it’s almost always something niche like an obscure out of print album. It cuts both ways though, and I’ve found some buried gems on Usenet that weren’t on any tracker.
The biggest downsides are the monthly cost of a Usenet provider, and a bit more technical expertise to host the NZB grabber.
See my reply to the parent comment.
No expert, but here’s my quick and dirty version:
Find an unlimited Usenet provider that works with your budget and location. Plenty of debate out there on which are best, and if you need a second pay-per-GB provider for filling in missing parts or not.
Spin up SABnzbd+ or a similar Usenet client on a local PC/NAS/etc.
the hard part - find a quality private Usenet indexer site that you can get an invite or has open registration.
Download the nzb files for the Linux ISO that you want from your indexer and open it with your Usenet client. (There are ways to feed the nzb file directly to your client, but that’s for next lesson).
Client looks for all of the parts listed in the nzb file on your Usenet provider, then downloads and unpacks them.
Et Voila - Linux ISO appears in your downloads directory.
A VPN is probably unnecessary, as most Usenet providers don’t log who downloads which files. Also, you can often hit your ISP’s max download rate from your Usenet provider, and there is no “seeding” to worry about.
Good luck!

How this brainwormed shitbird won re-election in 2022 (when all other Wisconsin statewide elections went Dem) still baffles me.
The point isn’t to cover it up (well). It’s a warning to others who might question those in power.
What this particular Vlad did to earn a defenestration - I have no idea. But no one else will try it anytime soon if they’re also susceptible to gravity-accelerated blunt force trauma.
Almost every TV is a perfectly good dumb TV when it doesn’t know your wifi password.
What a spineless traitor to humanity.
Holy hell - I had a MAGA woman pontificate about this recently, going on and on about the “mob rule” of democracy. I know how our government works, Tamara, and I still don’t support your fourth reich aspirations.
Oh, I’d expect a British ship or two to hang out very near the Falklands for as long as he’s in power.
A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!
I feel you - she’s nuts and drove the clown car in 2020.
But would you rather have DJT and Ghouliani, or Sidney Powell in jail for the remainder of their gross unnatural lives? Direct testimony against the rest of them helps secure convictions.
The MAGAts will turn on her and make her freedom unpleasant regardless, just waiting for a tweet/truth/x/wtfever from dear leader.
It’s ain’t enough but it’s a start, after 7 years of waiting for consequences.
No Mail Monday, but I won’t remember until I check it anyways.
I’d love to know all of that. I just don’t ever trust a private corporation to safeguard my highly personal and unique DNA information from:
It’s too easy for a company to skimp on staff and digital security and then say “we’re soooo sowwwy, have 3 months of identity fraud protection on us” if they find a breach.
