I’m using nzbgeek to find stuff. Then put the links it returns into eweka - a usenet provider. I’m new to this, so I’m just dipping my toe in to make sure it works. Currently it does but I’m sure there are better deals if you look around.

I have a newsgroup subscription, but a lot of the posts are obfuscated (confused titles that don’t make sense) so you can’t read the post headers like you can in (say) lemmy or reddit (spit! ) . So I also subscribe to a nzb provider (makes sense of the obfuscated) .

In terms of money it’s not too much - like £20/year.

The nzb provider searches the usenet then your newsgroup host downloads what you want.

I’m probably not very clear, and this has been a learning curve for me, but if I can help I will, just ask. It’s good fun - especially when it works!

Edit: too many ‘buts’

I’m guessing that would be tagging people then rather than topics of interest? Probably not missing much if that’s the case.

I wasn’t even aware lemmy had tags. Never used it on pc.

Also, fuck anyone that looks like you!

Nice one. Ok if I get my head into where I want to be with this and come back to you? Much obliged for the offer.

I still very much need to get my head around the aar software - something I find difficult as the more I look into it, the more complicated it seems to get.

Looks interesting, I’ll read the git as you suggested - thanks.

What is this exactly, how does it work?

A year from now we’ll all wonder why people just don’t get how easy it all is to understand.

Indeed, growing pains - and we’re all getting to make sense of it all. I can only speak for myself, but at times I find this change confusing. Thanks.

I did, thanks for the info.
