This is fun side project I made for myself.

Contradicts:

Spin up your own instance on termux for Android.

It’s great if its for yourself, or learning something new to you. Releasing it like this and telling others to install software you didn’t even write is a security nightmare and disingenuous. Nowhere in your readme or any other repo files, does it specify that YOU don’t code, and this product is all due to AI and LLMs.

I stopped playing at shadowbringers. Till then, was playing since the calamity. Lil dark knight potato. Edit: I mained on Siren.

I get that. I think my side projects get more work done than my actual work does! Have fun.

Please don’t advertise this as being Sanctioned by or associated with Beehaw site or administration. It’s okay to leave up, and of course just fine for your seed of such ; just setting expectations.

Thanks.

Yeah, Beehaw doesn’t have anywhere near that MAU, but I cannot fathom how it is costing him $5k a month to run a few instances, a few of which have many less MAU.

Usenet is not the WWW. It operates on a different protocol and methods. It’s not over HTTP(s) like this or standard web sites. Thus, your typical web user won’t even ever see or notice anything on or about usenet. This is why you would need a usenet provider or access. You cannot access usenet with a web browser. One notable difference between the web and Usenet is the absence of a central server and dedicated administrator. Usenet is distributed among a large, constantly changing conglomeration of servers that store and forward messages to one another in so-called news feeds. Individual users may read messages from and post messages to a local servers.

Usenet is literally just a collection of text files on various servers or locations. There really isn’t an index builtin or a way to just ‘click to the next page’. This is why you need an indexer. An indexer crawls and scrapes usenet headers to allow searching and finding of specific content or posts. It automatically builds releases and indexes them like google indexes the internet.

When someone uploads files to usenet, it’s just text. Very large files such as videos, aren’t easily represented as text and don’t “fit” in one post. It is spread over many different posts, sometimes hundreds. In text format. You could find all those posts, combine the text, and end up with an actual video or music file. But that file doesn’t “exist” on usenet as a specific, single, item. Indexers find all posts associated with something you may be searching for, and other news reader software (like NZBGet or SABNZB) combine all those text files into one, giving you the file you actually expect after downloading all the different posts/parts.

Using a VPN account with usenet is beneficial, but not required. It is ideal to have access to multiple different indexers to find the posts you want.

Divided we beg, united we bargain.

Just a few. It’s not a war crime if you’re not at war…

Single player, not competitive and easygoing. Easy to pause when life demands and easy to pick up again when I get back to playing. Love they every time is different. Make your own goals and try to achieve them.

Changed the link.

Would require frontend work and maybe some glue for the backend. I think the Photon Front end does some of those embeds. I’m sure there’s others, but not confident that any would work with Beehaw’s older Lemmy version. Better to spend energy on the sublinks convert, or my home-grown alternative Fediverse stack.
