The nice part about Usenet is it's basically full saturation of your internet line, so if you have a gigabit line, it will come as close as possible to running downloads at that speed. Frugal Usenet is $60 for their annual account, in my opinion it's worth it just for speed alone. I pay for Usenet ninja as well as a secondary account for failed downloads.

The setup can be a bit overwhelming but please message me if you get stuck on anything!

Best place to start if you're serious. https://trash-guides.info/

Frugal Usenet is a good cheap and reliable option for Usenet downloading or search out some torrent trackers of your preference. If you go the Usenet route, let me know, I can send you some indexer invites.

I've run most of the arr apps on windows but Linux with docker is less upkeep and easier to perform updates.

As someone who hikes the Canadian Rockies on the regular, I can tell you statistically I've walked by thousands of people on the trails and maybe 3 grizzlies. The grizzlies were far more likely to attack but due to distance and spotting them early to avoid there was no issue.

This argument comes up a lot. MOST people are suburbanites who drive to a grocery store and in a major urban area. They can probably switch to something else with a slightly further drive. Rural folks and urban folks without a car are definitely going to experience a greater challenge on this.

I know I'm actively moving from No Frills to Calgary Coop. More expensive but so far way better quality foods and no more dollars going to Loblaws.

I mean, I'm doing just fine but thanks.

You for real though?

Why do you use so many ellipses?

This has been my go to combined with a Usenet subscription.

I'm not sure why you got downvoted so much. I live outside Calgary and you'd think sedans or any regular sized car doesn't even exist here. Then you get the ironic "Fuck Trudeau" folks pulling up to the gas station with their big ass truck and complain about gas prices. No shit you pay a lot, you modified the engine to roll coal when you accelerate. Morons, the lot of them.
