I figured there'd be a release label, but I can't seem to find one that specifies it.

 Most things that old or from the early video era are just going to be upscales anyway. Unless they go back and physically rescan the film like TNG it won't be significantly different than letting your TV do the same thing, and it saves you HD space.

British stuff was notoriously shot on video rather than film (barring some exterior shots) and I’ve done comparisons between 1080p files coming in at 6gb or so for 30 minutes and the original DVDs, and there’s essentially no difference. The only thing you really gain is codec maturity.

I got tired of having to free up space or having to buy a bigger networked drive and decided after years of dithering over spending the cash required to finally bite the bullet and get a dedicated QNAP enclosure I can just throw more drives into, and since it has the option of running docker containers on it I might as well migrate all my *arrs too. Are trash guides still the best way to do it?

Oh gently caress someone said warez that takes me baaack. Talk about a word lost to time. SA has this incredible capability to just exist in 2002 out of absolutely nowhere. W00t anyone have a 1337 irc bot we can use to exchange filez? I want to download the Anarchists Cookbook mate. Wanna learn how to get high off banana peels and get free payphone calling to impress my girl when we go to the arcade.

I remember way back when trying to get some ancient anime, I had to look up the episodes in a giant list of bot commands off the group's website, then log in to their IRC and laboriously paste in each one and hope the bot was actually running and would respond  *arrs are magic by comparison.

Lmao if you don’t use a unlocked/uncensored local LLM “AI” instance to tell you how to make napalm gramps. The future is weird and somehow even dumber than we ever thought was possible.

So I've always seen this thread when browsing this subforum and finally got my interest piqued. I watched a few videos on what Usenet is and the benefits of it. Is the OP still up to date with how to get started? Any youtube primers out there that I might have missed? e: funnily as i post this, the frugal usenet pig banner is showing at the bottom of this page.

It’s 11 years old, so probably in the most general way as nothing major has really changed in that time period but maybe the specifics aren’t all correct. Essentially you’ll still need 1. A Usenet subscription or two. A lot of people combine an unlimited one with block accounts so DMCA hits aren’t as bad, personally I’ve been using just a newshosting unlimited for years and years with very few issues. 2. An indexer. Some are private but plenty aren’t and usually throwing a $10 tip gets you good access to them for a year or more. 3. Software. Both a client for pulling the files, and ideally a combination of sonarr/radarr to do automation which is your best way of getting stuff before DMCA strikes as well as not having to lift a finger for the stuff you want. That’s pretty much it. It’s fairly straightforward. Look up the TRaSH Guides for more specifics about configuring things exactly.

Youtube will have 100s of videos about setting up every piece of software you might need, just search for 'media server' videos that mention your OS and most of the software you want to use. But very roughly you'll need: A usenet account (Frugal is one of the better ones IMO) An indexer to actually search usenet (NZBGeek is a good place to start) A download client (SANbzbd or NZBGet) Whatever media managers you need (Sonarr, Radarr etc) Mash it all together feed it to Plex and you've got yourself a media server.

Apparently if you do a year of frugal you get 300+ g of block . I'm monthly tho. Dmca is mostly tied to upload. Torrents are typically ratio based, so up/down. Usenet is d/l only so sort of side steps all that. I'm sure there are cases that happen, but mostly were in the grey.

I always figured having SSL on was the general key and not to worry about it too far beyond that. I've downloaded so many pdfs of the Anarchist Cookbook over the years that if there was some kind of flaw in that methodology it would have been flagged by someone, somewhere. For provider I personally like Newsgroup Ninja; I've been paying $39 a year (which is just over $3 a month) since forever and it fully saturates a 1gig connection with no GB limits (that's a lotta Cookbooks my friends!) and the retention is insane so whatever backbone it's on, it's good. Legendary levels of Anarchist Cookbook retention- I've been downloading the same PDF that got uploaded in 2003 many, many times a day. The secret though has always been reupping as soon as you can during a sale, and black friday is usually the best one. Once you're locked in most providers will happily charge you that price for perpetuity. So yeah get SSL and if you care, make sure you get a provider on a good retention backbone and then you'll probably pay a little more if you can't wait for a sale but you can re-up on the sale price when that time comes and that time since it's june is probably black friday or labor day or some poo poo.

The people who get dinged are the people distributing stuff and seeding torrents. I can’t think of a time I’ve heard about anyone ever being busted for just downloading their Linux ISOs without there being an element of “and it was off a p2p network so they also distributed it”.

Yeah that's fair. Torrents make me paranoid as gently caress, I know it's irrational but here we are. It makes me feel like an old in some ways, since it feels like everyone has a VPN. But it's not just that; torrenting never sat right with me because I have zero interest in giving back to the system, so it makes me feel ethically dirty to get something off torrent with no intention to then seed it after, right? Luckily now that I'm no longer on fiber, but instead gigabit cable modem, the problem is very helpfully solved for me since the connection is literally like 1000 download / 20mbps upload. Just curious, is that a problem inherent in the cable modem structure, or do the cable companies just not want you to upload anything, ever? On a practical level it feels ridiculous that a line can do 1000 in one way and then just going the opposite way it can barely do anything but what do I know...? I'm just a connoisseur of bespoke anti-society PDFs.

AFAIK which probably isn’t very far it’s still asymmetric because even though it goes both ways you’re making use of the same width of pipe for both directions and sharing most of it with other users, and since downloading is more useful to more end users the bulk of that width is dedicated to downstream. You can get symmetric connections by paying out the rear end for them because then you’re obviously buying a bigger pipe to push all your poo poo through.

There was a limited amount of total capacity available on cable TV networks for broadband and the providers decided to focus on download speeds to advertise big numbers, and it’s sort of stuck. New fibre providers tend to go symmetric to give them a bit of a USP.
