Very similar to IRC from what I understand, but a different and newer system designed to work with the current fediverse. I haven't fiddled with it yet, but im in the process of standing up a social media server for my family and friends and will likely be using it.
Just trying to weigh my options, so I figured if ask about IRC.
Word. This seems to make my ARR stack easier. I'll probably get some torrents running before too long but for building a library, I'm sticking with Usenet. Then I'll go back to torrents and things like soulseek for more obscure or individual things
Your initial reply rubbed me the wrong way since I was trying to help but that doesn't mean I don't wish you luck! Everyone's situation is different and i know fuck-all about Australia's healthcare system lol
Usenet. Like a little over $100 a year for a news host and an indexer or two and you get quality music downloads of basically anything, depending on your indexer. Once you've got most of what you want, just stop paying and you still have your music or TV or w/e you download, and there's no real need to worry about a VPN.
I've tried a few different front ends for fun in the past and they're fun to tinker with, I'll admit. I don't think I used freetube.
Also it was some months ago, but the biggest issue I found was that I couldn't sync watch lists. I could add subs and things but if I watched something on my phone, whatever front-end on my computer would tell me I still hadn't watched that video and recommend it.
Is there a way around this? Because, that's a huge deal breaker for me. As an end goal, I want less Google in my life, but there are certain inconveniences I am unwilling to tolerate (however seemingly small lol).
Anyway, I may start tinkering again soon. Thanks for the reply!
