I am totally unfamiliar with usenet. I only know about it because I used to know someone who knew about it. I’d usually just ignore him when he talked about it, can’t remember why.

Is there a guide somewhere? I looked up some youtube tutorials, it was pretty confusing, seemed to be geared towards people already using usenet.

    Tech is hard obviously and requires some effort. If you can’t read a bit, stick to TPB, Soulseek, or Rutracker, always with a VPN. And as always for the past 30 years, RTFM for god’s sake.

      If you can’t explain it to someone who doesn’t understand it, you don’t understand it either.

      You’re not smart for being unable to explain.

        Coming and asking for help and then being a dick isn’t going to get you help in any tech community. Just saying.

        You should learn by yourself, I don’t have time to explain everything to everyone. I also can’t teach a toddler how to write Linux drivers in Rust, it doesn’t mean I don’t understand how to do that. Once again, lurk more, RTFM, and you will learn a lot.
