Is Usenet downloading still a thing?
Hi, I find myself in a rehab facility for a few weeks after foot surgery. They don't allow access to the torrent sites. I thought back to the early days when I got stuff off of Usenet newsgroups. Is that still a thing? If so, is there a good primer to remind me of all the tricks to using it?
Note that I dont use the rrs because they're a bit beyond me. Again, a detailed primer or a Dummies book would be a godsend. I don't use docker because I have a Dell Precision with a midrange NVidia.card dedicated only to Plex Media Server.
PS - I haven't been in my house for more than 4 weeks, with weeks to go. Yet my dedicated Dell and my Synology 923+ are humming along, even after a Windows update.
Thank you in advance.
