Yeah, Usenet servers all have a maximum retention time, usually around 3000 days or something like that. Any articles older than the retention time of your server won’t exist for you to grab, but stuff is usually reuploaded frequently. With torrents a super niche thing requires someone seeding the content all the time for it to be consistently accessible, while Usenet requires someone to reupload it once every 5-10 years (barring takedowns) which imo is more consistently stable, but as the other poster said having both ensures your bases are covered. I personally don’t really torrent anything beyond oddball bbc2+ documentaries at this point though.

I can’t wait to whip out a bluetooth-capable mechanical keyboard with MX Blue switches on an airplane, plop that chonk down on the the tray table, and clickity-clack for the entirety of the flight from the East Coast to the EU.

even ran the Hannah Montana OS as a meme for a week

We should both commit to exclusively using TempleOS and see who can last the longest.

Do you run SteamOS on a Steam Deck, or are you just running it on a PC? Actually has Volvo even released an install ISO for SteamOS?

I use whatever is the best fit for the work I need to do. I mainly use macOS, and try to get away with using VM’s with macOS as my host system whenever possible.

I used to be on the Arch bandwagon but after migrating to a MacBook for my daily driver computer it’s mostly just Debian-based distros when the need arises, Kali for work and headless Debian for homelab stuff. I rarely boot my Windows gaming PC anymore. I do have some Windows VM’s for testing exploits and payloads. And emulated Windows 95-98 machines for that OG Oregon Trail fix.
