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.
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.
We don't have an ICE equivalent hunting down and kidnapping people on the streets if that's what you're worried about.
Mainly it'll be very difficult to get work, you'll probably be homeless (which really really sucks in the snow...), and whenever the cops do catch up with you, you will be deported when they realize your status.
You don't. You ship it and see what the bill is when it hits the border.
It's part of why companies are halting shipments. You can try to guess what the upcharge(s) will be at the border(s) and pass that to the customer; but if you get it wrong (or it changes mid-transit), you're either charging your customers excessively, driving them off, or you're eating additional costs yourself.
The point is there's a very big difference between deciding to leave the country permanently to a chosen destination, bringing what you can with you; vs leaving for a short holiday and suddenly being told what you thought was home won't let you return.
Worse; just because you're in Canada on a visitor's visa and the US decides it's doesn't want to let you back in, doesn't mean you'll just be turned around and accepted back into Canada (or wherever you're visiting) instead. You may just be detained by US authorities and deported to wherever they decide.
Welcome to your new home in an El Salvador prison camp...
While I welcome tourists, I worry for them.
Now doesn't seem like a good time to leave the US with plans to go back; you may just not be permitted to return, citizenship or not.
