Does your ISP still provide Usenet access or do you subscribe to a Usenet provider?
Paying $9 a month for Usenet makes me wonder if I shouldn’t just keep paying for Hulu
I don’t think my ISP provides it.
Id suggest you to setup sonarr and radarr behind a vpn as it’s a set and forget setup.
Fully automated.
@deleted
Oh? You don’t have to setup a usenet provider to Sonaar work?
I’m out of the loop then. You have any recommendations for modern setup tutorials?
Most (if not all?) of the *arrs can use torrents. edit: as for guides, i would just check out yams.media.
What do you mean? What does isp have to do with Usenet?

Usenet access used to be included by ISPs. It’s been a long time since that was standard. I’m not sure which Usenet providers are worthwhile now.
yeah. but i think most of them excluded binaries, even back then.

No, binaries were included. That was the main way binaries were exchanged for a time.
I'm pretty sure around where i live you did not get the alt.binaries groups except if you went to a proper usenet provider and payed. the ISPs didn't want to pay for all of the storage. but this was a long time ago and i wasn't yet interested in stuff like that. maybe i misremember.
My ISP has their own usenet servers. I get access to all the good shit via it, for free.
