For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

Does your ISP still provide Usenet access or do you subscribe to a Usenet provider?
Paying $9 a month for Usenet makes me wonder if I shouldn’t just keep paying for Hulu
I don’t think my ISP provides it.
Id suggest you to setup sonarr and radarr behind a vpn as it’s a set and forget setup.
Fully automated.

Oh? You don’t have to setup a usenet provider to Sonaar work?
I’m out of the loop then. You have any recommendations for modern setup tutorials?
Most (if not all?) of the *arrs can use torrents. edit: as for guides, i would just check out yams.media.
What do you mean? What does isp have to do with Usenet?

Usenet access used to be included by ISPs. It’s been a long time since that was standard. I’m not sure which Usenet providers are worthwhile now.
yeah. but i think most of them excluded binaries, even back then.

No, binaries were included. That was the main way binaries were exchanged for a time.
I’m pretty sure around where i live you did not get the alt.binaries groups except if you went to a proper usenet provider and payed. the ISPs didn’t want to pay for all of the storage. but this was a long time ago and i wasn’t yet interested in stuff like that. maybe i misremember.
My ISP has their own usenet servers. I get access to all the good shit via it, for free.
