It was a new movies that came out 5 days before I started to download it, in the end I had to go to torrrent galaxy and it only had one or two releases for it, good quality though. It would probably download okay if I put it on Radarr before it was released, so it would pick it up before it got taken down. I NTD block to complement my DMCA ultimate provider lets see how it goes. Funny enough I decided to go check IRC which I haven't opened for years and found the exact release that got taken down in Usenet.

I used this (https://www.xdcc.eu/), I don't think they care about IRC as much as Usenet and torrent.

Yeah I might be a bit paranoid, on reddit usenet it is very common to refer to pirated content as linux distros. I edited it again, but with movies and tv shows. I guess I picked it as a habit with how frequently I use the reddit Usenet subreddit.

I do use usenet but dcma takedowns are very quick these days that new movies get removed very quickly, is IRC better in this aspect, also I don't have private tracker and public trackers are noticeably worse than usenet in terms of release groups.

In the future if you are able to get your own router opensense is a great firmware for it. Also check out selfhosted you will learn alot from there.

I mean movies and tv shows. I know it is alive but can you find stuff that you can only find on private trackers for example and how is the speed on average?

I never use router from ISP, I use my own. Most routers from ISP are awful.

It is basically like purchasing a prepaid phone plan, it last forever until you use the data.

You can use bitcoin or monero, but I honestly it does matter even if you use your main email when purchasing providers and indexers. Technically speaking both indexers and providers are legal.

To learn more about downloading Linux distros go here: https://lemmy.world/c/usenet or go to /r/UsenetTalk.

Lol, that is certainly true and you would need to also set it up manually which even power users might not be able to do. Thankfully there is an easy to follow guide here: https://ai-guide.future.mozilla.org/content/running-llms-locally/.

It gives you many options on what to use, you can use Llama which is offline. Needs to be enabled though about:config > browser.ml.chat.hideLocalhost.

I still use reddit alot, but I use sync. Unfortunately there are still many useful subreddits in reddit that have never moved to Lemmy. For example Usenet subreddit or Fan sub Reddit for tv show and games, and let us not forget anime_titties.

It is possible to run your own relay, but is very expensive. Unless people decide to run their own relays, Bluesky is technically centralised. You can run your own PDS for cheap through.

It is currently early access, but should be opened to everyone later. There is also a bridge that links Bluesky and Mastadon. https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation

I don't think there are public servers, but there most likey are private server for users who don't want to share there private info such as email, birthday, etc.

Yeah, Bluesky has both federation and ease of use, which is why many prefer it over Mastodon. Instead of making someone search for a server to join, Bluesky gives you a default server which makes it easier for less tech savvy users.

Below is how account portability work between servers, it is easy to migrate between servers.

Account portability​

We assume that a Personal Data Server may fail at any time, either by going offline in its entirety, or by ceasing service for specific users. The goal of the AT Protocol is to ensure that a user can migrate their account to a new PDS without the server's involvement.

User data is stored in signed data repositories and verified by DIDs. Signed data repositories are like Git repos but for database records, and DIDs are essentially registries of user certificates, similar in some ways to the TLS certificate system. They are expected to be secure, reliable, and independent of the user's PDS.

Each DID document publishes two public keys: a signing key and a recovery key.

Signing key: Asserts changes to the DID Document and to the user's data repository.

Recovery key: Asserts changes to the DID Document; may override the signing key within a 72-hour window.

The signing key is entrusted to the PDS so that it can manage the user's data, but the recovery key is saved by the user, e.g. as a paper key. This makes it possible for the user to update their account to a new PDS without the original host's help.

A backup of the user’s data will be persistently synced to their client as a backup (contingent on the disk space available). Should a PDS disappear without notice, the user should be able to migrate to a new provider by updating their DID Document and uploading the backup

Bluesky is Decentralized, people are moving to Bluesky because it is easier to use and has better UI and UX. The reason people are moving to Bluesky and not mastodon has nothing to do with Decentralized, it is because it is simply user friendly. I used both and I think currently that Bluesky is definitely better. One of the biggest issues is the app, many users use their phones and The mastadon apps are awful in comparison to bluesky.

Bluesky uses AT Protocol and Mastodon uses ActivityPub which makes it impossible to federate. Bluesky does allow you to host your own servers though, so you can consider its own fediverse.

Use Redlib front end should be able to open reddit. Some instances don't work, but you there are many that work. I use this extension: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
