I jumped into Usenet as an experiment and, once it was setup, it was ok. Although it is definitely not simple to get started and it seems you are constantly having to pay for stuff, even to access the trackers, which don't even have all the content!

I decided I didn't download enough and what I wanted was too hard to find, so I went back to Torrents. Way simpler for my occasional use.

Sorry if this is the wrong place, it's a Linux question but it's come about whilst trying to build my arr-Plex stack.

So, Linux (Debian) user accounts; What is best practice for running applications as their own UID? Why should I do that? and how can I avoid file permission errors.

I see advice such as "create a new system account called radar/sonarr/Plex". So I do that, and then find all my downloads are owned by qbittorrent user and it doesn't have permission to move them into my Plex library and Plex can't view them either.

All seems overcomplicated. Why can't I just run everything all with username 'Plex'?

I'm looking for a reliable source of theatre scripts for musicals and plays. Any specialist IRC channels or the like?

I'm in my first month of Usenet. I own several popular BluRay Movies but thought I'd save time ripping them manually and instead see what I could get off Usenet (NZBGeek + Eweka) now that my niece is visiting and needs entertainment.

I noticed a number of popular titles are consistently difficult to obtain ("aborted, cannot be completed"), even when live within only a few days, or even hours.

I assume this is a very vigilant DMCA takedown bot. How commonplace is this? And why does it only apply to some titles and not others?

Is it worth continuing with Usenet? I thought paying for content would ensure a certain "quality" of experience. So far, I'm a bit disappointed.

Where did everyone go? I thought Lemmy was the new hangout but it still seems so small, even popular posts are only getting a handful of comments?

Arghh, two conflicting replies. What do we do?!!

From my first hand experience when I visited last year, nearly everyone I spoke to had a hard time acknowledging there was anything wrong with what they saw as Russia reclaiming land that was rightfully theirs. There was often outright admiration for Putin for being brave enough to put the interest of his nation first and telling the West to go swivel.

No coincidence that India has similar feelings towards several of its own neighbours and parts of Kashmir are not too dissimilar to Crimea.

The reaction would be very different if China ever did the same in Taiwan though, because... reasons.

Friendly reminder: India is generally Pro-Russia.

A way to fairly pay the original content creator.

If I really enjoy a movie, series or music, I often actually want to send the actual creator some money to reward their creativity. May be just a dollar, may be ten. But I can't.

Because she wasn't. She was the first woman to fly Solo across the Atlantic. The fated flight would have seen her become the first woman to Fly around the world, no mention of being Solo.

You are quite right. The link just took me to the FAQ, I didn't see the entire infographic above it. Very interesting and you are right, Business Class is less than 15% of passenger numbers but they account for 70% of profits.

Why should Spotify waste time on your pet feature request when they have dozens of working features still to be ruined.

Me too. It was the constant popups making me download their app that did it for me.
