Yeah... USSR was a Union. In the same way prison is a form of hotel.

Please remember guys that "Free USA" is antichristian!

 

I recently started using usenet, still learning how it works. I read a few articles and decided to go with Eweka as a provider and Nzbgeek and Nzb.su indexers. Then I found that bundled with Eweka comes the NewsLazer app that has multiple cool features like browsing groups and downloading / generating previews... The problem is, that I am searching for content in my language and there is not much of it. So instead of searching things I like, sometimes I would like to check what is available. NewsLazer seems to be only aware of a few languages (and has some other issues). Is there another tool capable of the same but maybe with additional customisation?

no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of a population has ever failed

More like Western Autumn. It's similar but goes the opposite way.

Ah, yes. My favourite programming language (checks notes) HTML...

If your favourite programming language is HTML, we do not grant you the title of Nerd.

I am old enough and geek enough to be bothered by the use of the word "WiFi" instead of the Internet or just network.

It's only WiFi if you connect the wireless router at the end.

Edit: just noticed mention of the "antenna at the roof" on the page, but I still don't think it's WiFi, "WiFi" is a name of the technology that allows wireless access by multiple devices. I think it's rather radio communication between the router and the access point. They basically use radio waves instead of the cable, it was often used in rural areas in my country, where putting cables would be too expensive.

It seems to have started in America but has spread to Europe and other countries

Nah, Orban and Erdogan did conservative, nationalistic autocracy before it was cool.

I assume you would get suecided (Boeing style) before you would start production.

Well, the rest is split between conservatives (more than 20) and liberals (around 15), 5 in the center (Hołownia is a sort of conservative who supports liberal government)... so it's close enough.

 

Newbie question: is there any benefit of invite only indexers over good (paid) open indexers?

If yes, what is it? Or is "invite only" policy, only a marketing strategy? I just started and I don't know much but seeing people asking for drunken slug invites makes me want one, even though I have no idea what's behind those closed doors.

 

I would really appreciate it!
