I'm guessing the black parts slide like wax? For 'grinding' without a board?

NTD is the European version of DMCA essentially.

It's not a good thing; but usenet providers like any other internet service are generally subject to one or the other depending on their location, so it's good to know which one covers the provider you use.

With providers spread across the globe, mirroring each others data, and subject to different copyright notice/takedown laws; the whole system is quite robust against removals. While you can send notices to individual providers, It's extremely difficult to coordinate a global takedown effort and truly remove content from usenet as a whole.

That's why multiple provider's in different regions can be beneficial. Some people will buy 'block' accounts (a fixed amount of data to be used as needed, vs a monthly cap) for a provider in a separate region to fallback on when the data has been taken down from their local provider.

Retention refers to how long a particular provider keeps the data users upload. 3-5k days is pretty typical, but there are some lower ones. Data is also mirrored across the backbones of all the different providers; so if it's removed from one (due to retention or a takedown notice) it's still available on others.

I've had little to no issue finding content, with 97% of data I've requested being available (stats from SabNZBD); but in the off chance you want something that is unavailable, most indexers have a requests section.

Similar to setting up torrenting, usenet indexers/clients can be added to the arr stacks for automation. I'm not sure about Kodi/Real Debrid as I don't use those.

In short, you need three things: (here's what I've been using)

An indexer: NZBgeek Just like a torrent indexer, but for .nzb files instead of .torrents

A provider: Frugal Usenet Where you're downloading data from.

And a client: SabNZBD

When it comes to which provider to choose; pretty much all of them provide similar retention and unlimited data cap, so you really just need to look for something nearby. Often people will recommend having 2 providers one covered by DMCA and one covered by NTD to make content more available; but I've not really noticed a need.

Meh, switch to usenet. Download as much as you want, at max bandwidth 100% of the time, with 0 need for a vpn and no obligation to re-seed content for months on end.

Go fuck yourself with a flaming lithium dildo Tesla.

I fucking hate America.

A billionaire can hold a multi-million dollar lottery, where the only way to enter is to vote for who he wants; but you can and will be arrested for handing someone a bottle of water while they wait in line to vote.

Honestly; I'm impressed they both messaged you and gave you options.

Usually you wouldn't find out until the mailman is demanding payment for the package he's holding hostage in front of you.

I'm not convinced there will be an election in 2028...

“Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” Trump said.

While standing in Detroit... Lmao.

Lmao.

SWALWELL: Any time your father was in government, prior to the Presidency or before, did he ever operate a hotel?

BIDEN: No, he has never operated a hotel.

SWALWELL: So he’s never operated a hotel where foreign nationals spent millions at that hotel while he was in office?

BIDEN: No, he has not.

SWALWELL: Did your father ever employ in the Oval Office any direct family member to also work in the Oval Office?

BIDEN: My father has never employed any direct family members, to my knowledge.

SWALWELL: While your father was President, did anyone in the family receive 41 trademarks from China?

BIDEN: No.

SWALWELL: As President and the leader of the party, has your father ever tried to install as the chairperson of the party a daughter-in-law or anyone else in the family?

BIDEN: No. And I don’t think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC.

SWALWELL: Has your father ever in his time as an adult been fined $355 million by any State that he worked in?

BIDEN: No, he has not, thank God.

SWALWELL: Anyone in your family ever strike a multibillion dollar deal with the Saudi Government while your father was in office?

BIDEN: No.

SWALWELL: That’s all I’ve got.

You'll get faster download, but your upload speeds drop off a cliff
