Oh yeah like that one that does a percentage discount based on the daily high temperature in their home city.

I am no expert but I learned enough to set it up with my *arr stack and it’s my primary ship for sailing the seas. My use case is English language popular content. So YMMV.

Search for the Usenet backbone map or usenet provider map. You will see that there are only a handful of companies providing different “backbones”. Content may be different on different backbones and the copyright takedown notices may be different (DMCA or NTD).

I pay for an unlimited subscription from a provider on one backbone and purchased a couple of 500gb blocks (on sale) on another backbone. (A block is a one-time fee that allows me to download a specified amount of data, from a provider, and they don’t expire).

My understanding is that content on Usenet is broken into multiple parts and the file names are obfuscated, making it more difficult to take down. If they are taken down, it might only be a few parts. Your download client can be configured to download the missing parts from multiple servers (in my case the blocks).

I don’t recall finding something in my indexers that wouldn’t download because of takedowns.

My recommendation would be to try it with blocks or the cheap €2 providers to see if you are happy. If you struggle to find content branch out.

I don’t use VPN with Usenet. I don’t want to bottleneck those sweet 500/600 Mbps download speeds. Never had an issue. Edit: because I setup the SSL servers)

I thought that was format incompatibility more than rights management.

How so?

That’s why I’m here! And I’ve never looked back 😁

A tip I found that works is to search for a song in the album you’re looking for. I like to use the most unique sounding title from the album. Then if you get a result, browse the user’s collection and you’ll likely find the rest of the album.

I mean I primarily use Usenet to find anything I want.

Yeah but spam is not a business text and will happen regardless if RCS is turned on or off.

I’ve never even seen a RCS business Message.

A lot of suggestions for the *Arr apps, which I fully endorse.

I will also point out that if you set up Ombi, it can automatically add titles from your Plex watchlist. So you can add titles to your library with one click.

To demonstrate mass timber’s fire resistance, engineers put the wood elements in gas-fired chambers and monitor their integrity. Other tests set fire to mock-ups of mass timber buildings and record the results.

These tests have gradually convinced regulators and customers that mass timber can resist burning long enough to be fire safe. That’s partly because a layer of char tends to form early on the outside of the timber, insulating the interior from much of the fire’s heat.

I live in a country where single family homes are built with wood. Everyone seems to trust their life to that. I don’t know why it would be different in an apartment.

I believe OP was referring to the fact you’d need to pick up the phone to access the rear sensor, not about if the phone sits flat.

Yeah, just look how long Betty White lived.

I started with TV and movies and thought why not add some music!

Those plexamp sweet fades though. 🤤

[qBittorrent] is probably the best VPN client for Windows

It does VPN?

Sweet! I didn’t know about Seeker!

This is exactly why I use this launcher. Group similar apps together without adding their individual icons to my home screen!

How do you filter leachers?
