It’s understandable, sure. It’s also a little more complex up front. For me personally, the pros outweigh the cons and I’d much rather use Usenet over torrenting, even with the cost.
I definitely think it’s DMCA, unfortunately.
The main benefit is that you don’t need to use a VPN, so you get full download speeds. Also the availability and download speed isn’t dependent on seeders, so more obscure content tends to survive longer on Usenet.
That’s not the problem here unfortunately. This is usually a complete take down on the server side, and has nothing to do with their location.
Usenet, while way better than torrenting, still requires multiple indexers and providers for this reason. I have 3 of each and rarely ever run into this issue except for very niche releases.
What benefit would a VPN give for OP’s problem?
Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.
I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.
That was the best part, it was like no humans were in the building for a bit there.

That’s likely because your Macs are using the TPM. Does your Linux machine have a TPM, and are you using it?

If you’re having it automatically unlock the drive at boot, it kind of defeats the purpose. If someone steals your tower, they can boot it and copy the unencrypted contents since it automatically unlocks.
Similarly, I started using Grayjay after paying for YouTube for years. I’ll never go back due to the significant QoL changes that Grayjay offers.
A new announcement was posted, added it to the OP
“it works on my machine”!
Sorry, edited the title to not be abbreviated!
Greedy short-sighted execs strike again.
I too have thought about the family urn. Throw in the pet ashes too!
I absolutely hate that. I’ve also seen many listings set as “Remote” but when you drill down into their description it’s either like the above or “you must be within 25 miles of the office for occasional visits”. LinkedIn should remove these listings and temporarily ban the businesses that do this type of bait and switch.
It really does depend, so I mainly was speaking from my personal experience. But this is also why using both is recommended for *aar, because then you get the best of both worlds.
