This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around.
Unexpected Einhar. Nice.
Sorry, it was late and I don’t often annotate photos on my phone. I’ll do better next time.

Of course they are - it’s very difficult for a rat to use a lighter.
Cold brew? Asking for a friend named me.
AFAIK, Milwaukee makes no claim to a particular style of pizza. We just make beer that goes damn well with any style - Lakefront Brewery’s Riverwest Stein being my top pick.
I just picked it up to play casually on steam deck, and it’s fun; in the same vein as Animal Crossing with a 16 bit RPG style. Plenty of depth and homestead building. You are correct that it’s a huge time suck, but unlike AC, you don’t have FOMO of missing days/events when you don’t play. It’s been a great de-stress distraction when I’ve needed it most.
I’ll line up to give you a high five on that! It’s a damn good feeling to hit that milestone. Great job!
I certainly had to fiddle with it a bit to start, but once it’s up and running it’s seamless and less prone to issues than torrenting IMO.
It’s likely faster - no waiting for seeds to connect and ramp up. I routinely see 900+Mbps from my provider from start to finish.
You aren’t at risk of exposing your true IP or downloads list to anyone but your Usenet provider.
Zero seeding required.
Older content is more likely to still be available in my experience (and not just with 1 dial-up seeder).
On occasion I have to go to private trackers when something never made it to Usenet, but it’s almost always something niche like an obscure out of print album. It cuts both ways though, and I’ve found some buried gems on Usenet that weren’t on any tracker.
The biggest downsides are the monthly cost of a Usenet provider, and a bit more technical expertise to host the NZB grabber.
See my reply to the parent comment.
No expert, but here’s my quick and dirty version:
Find an unlimited Usenet provider that works with your budget and location. Plenty of debate out there on which are best, and if you need a second pay-per-GB provider for filling in missing parts or not.
Spin up SABnzbd+ or a similar Usenet client on a local PC/NAS/etc.
the hard part - find a quality private Usenet indexer site that you can get an invite or has open registration.
Download the nzb files for the Linux ISO that you want from your indexer and open it with your Usenet client. (There are ways to feed the nzb file directly to your client, but that’s for next lesson).
Client looks for all of the parts listed in the nzb file on your Usenet provider, then downloads and unpacks them.
Et Voila - Linux ISO appears in your downloads directory.
A VPN is probably unnecessary, as most Usenet providers don’t log who downloads which files. Also, you can often hit your ISP’s max download rate from your Usenet provider, and there is no “seeding” to worry about.
Good luck!
Obligatory Fuck Ron Johnson.
How this brainwormed shitbird won re-election in 2022 (when all other Wisconsin statewide elections went Dem) still baffles me.
Almost every TV is a perfectly good dumb TV when it doesn’t know your wifi password.
Fucked around and found out.
Can’t wait for his criminal convictions.
What a spineless traitor to humanity.
One of the most egregious WI GOP state senators for blocking funding - Duey Stroebel - is facing a tough race for re-election. Help his opponent, Jodi Habush Sinykin, with your time or your donation so that Wisconsinites can stop him personally and change the state law so it can’t happen again.
