I thought about this later, and now I think it’s this: The host says to the guest “have a seat anywhere” only to come in and find the guest has selected the worst, most obviously dangerous seat.

I don’t get it.

I would love this feature. I have an older bosch and it just beeps like every 10 minutes crying to be opened up.

How would they ever dry out?

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)

Why are the kid’s eyes different?

people need to parachute out

Y’all think flight attendants are just regularly jumping out of planes when things go wrong?!

independent organizations can verify accounts directly. Bluesky will review these verifications as well to ensure authenticity.

But isn’t it still one central entity approving?

The old one isn’t getting any updates and won’t see this change.

Does it get slippery if it becomes too wet?

Ignoring a deal he signed!

Aha! I was right!

This thing has the Maple leaf. Must mean it’s made in Canada from our famous home grown Canadian Oranges.

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 guess the “just buy an iPhone” philosophy doesn’t apply here.

Oh I like that one!

But with the exchange rate, you’ll have to share it with 3 more friends just to make the same point.
