It’s understandable, sure. It’s also a little more complex up front. For me personally, the pros outweigh the cons and I’d much rather use Usenet over torrenting, even with the cost.
I definitely think it’s DMCA, unfortunately.

For indexers, I have DrunkenSlug, nzbgeek, and nzbplanet. My backbone providers are UsenetExpress, FrugalUsenet, and Giganews. You can use https://whatsmyuse.net to make sure you don’t have overlapping backbones.
The main benefit is that you don’t need to use a VPN, so you get full download speeds. Also the availability and download speed isn’t dependent on seeders, so more obscure content tends to survive longer on Usenet.
That’s not the problem here unfortunately. This is usually a complete take down on the server side, and has nothing to do with their location.
Usenet, while way better than torrenting, still requires multiple indexers and providers for this reason. I have 3 of each and rarely ever run into this issue except for very niche releases.
What benefit would a VPN give for OP’s problem?
Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.
Will it still require installing a rootkit? If so, no thanks.
I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.
Why block Wine? It’s gotta be a tiny fraction of their user base.
That was the best part, it was like no humans were in the building for a bit there.

That’s likely because your Macs are using the TPM. Does your Linux machine have a TPM, and are you using it?

If you’re having it automatically unlock the drive at boot, it kind of defeats the purpose. If someone steals your tower, they can boot it and copy the unencrypted contents since it automatically unlocks.
Similarly, I started using Grayjay after paying for YouTube for years. I’ll never go back due to the significant QoL changes that Grayjay offers.
Internet should be public like many other utilities.
A new announcement was posted, added it to the OP
“it works on my machine”!
It really does depend, so I mainly was speaking from my personal experience. But this is also why using both is recommended for *aar, because then you get the best of both worlds.
