Didn’t try it for software, only Movies, Shows, Games, Audiobooks

I am on houseofusenet and the “should not be named” partner indexer that allows API access for *arr Software. Also i have drunkenslug

I rarely search for something manually, only games as there is no “gamearr” or something like that.

I am with you here when it comes to older stuff

I have the fortune to be of the “Lan-party” generation and still have a big group of people i know keep ageold games, movies, etc. So if i need something i can usually get it from them… then it’s a matter of VPN into their network and use ftp.

But usually i don’t really look for old stuff. But thats a “me” thing. I know this will not work for everyone… also, yeah despite the retention being “only” 13 years, i do find stuff that got reupload quite usually.

I am searching for very old audiobooks and i still find most of them on usenet despite some of them being well over 20 years old now.

Speed is unfathomably fast though. I have a 1gbit/s connection at home and i can download with ~900 mbit/s through the VPN

Exactly - should’ve mentioned that.

That’s why i feel much more safe using Usenet. Also, the fractured nature of usenet makes it more resilient to prosecutors to actually pinpoint anything.

You can come over to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/usenet_invites and post a [W] for any indexer (popular ones are DrunkenSlug)

Otherwise if you want content in german language you can look up houseofusenet and see if you can register there.

The point is that you can download stuff without uploading it at the same time.

I don’t have to share copyrighted material in order to download it. That’s the big advantage.

I personally ditched torrenting completly. Haven’t touched a torrent in literal years.

Usenet is the way for me. Still using via Mullvad nonetheless.

Downloaded it as soon as it was online

I had Plex lifetime and still switched to Jellyfin as an open source and community driven project will always be better in the future compared to a commercial product

I run audiobookshelf and it’s amazing!

So glad i switched to jellyfin half a year ago

Got it, nice Automation 👍

I am very pleased but question the choice of OpenVPN over wireguard regarding performance and jackett over prowlarr

https://rebble.io/ ;)

they are still kickin’

Pebble ftw

That is also my approach

Maybe the IP address changes? You should provide some more info.

Terminal outputs etc

Yup, mine aswell

I really do love this newsletter

That look is either:

I’m the greatest hero who ever lived.

Or

Where have I lost that single braincell I used earlier to bark at the treat that fell to the ground and scared me.

That second example is based on my dog… Sigh

I’m not here to answer your question about “other sensitive communities” but to comment on your case of vampire survivors.

I’ve never played the game, never intented to but i’ve heard enough about it and have seen enough of it.

The way you describe your opinion here lets me assume how you’ve written your post over on that community. You simply say "People do not want games to feel like it’s a job […] and while that may be your opinion it’s 1) not everyones opinion and 2) just because the game feels like a job FOR YOU, doesn’t mean that it feels like that for everyone.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with making a grindy “addictive” game loop if there are not MTX behind it to “harvest” that addiction.

So i think that’s the reason your post got deleted… not because they are “sensitive” but because you think you know better than people and that your opinion is “the truth”
