  • Usenet requires an indexer and a provider. An indexer indexes content. A provider is a server that hosts the content. Content is split into 1MB chunks.

    The manual way. You look for content you want on the website of the indexer and download the nzb file. You download the nzb file, which a list of the 1MB chunks and put it in your usenet download software. The downloader then downloads it.

    The automated way. There is a software suite called *arr. It’s not exclusive to Usenet; you can also use it with torrents. You search for the content you’re interested in and the software does the rest.

    Trash-guides and servarr are popular guides.










  • Let’s not forget anyone can fly light weight quadcopters and planes with cameras on them within the boundaries of private property. Most aviation authorities around the world are in control of air space, and that air space in most countries starts a micron above the ground. And therefore it’s perfectly legal for anyone to fly something within the boundaries of your property. Now you could get into trouble for being a peeping Tom, aggravation, etc depending on the circumstance. But nothing can be done if someone was to do a quick fly over.

    In my opinion blurring out street view only protects you against the ‘script kiddies’ of the stalking/spying world.

    One thing about blurring in street view. Once it’s done, it cannot be undone. So I’d have consideration for others before going ahead with making a request.
