  • I couldn’t disagree more.

    The only form of restriction/censoring of speech that has any bearing whatsoever on this discussion is that which is enacted by the government. Pretending that some other person is somehow “restricting their speech” and “oppressing them socially” (!?) by telling them to shut up or leave is disingenuous at best.

    While we’re at it, “canceling” isn’t a thing. It’s a buzzword made up by the right to complain about the fact that they just got shown the door. Aww, boo hoo, did your feelings get hurt when you said your hot take & got told to fuck off? Maybe go reflect on that.

    The argument we should be making is this: what you are saying is itself so heinous and dangerous that it is a violation of the social contract. The government is not silencing you, but we will.

    Sorry, no. I’m under no obligation to listen to anyone, and I can walk away and/or kick them out of my space for any reason I choose. There’s no theoretical line their speech needs to cross before it’s somehow morally acceptable for me to tell someone to fuck off. I really couldn’t care less if you think I’m an asshole, so long as my conscience is clear.

    I will not be “measured” about making a choice I think is the right thing to do, even if you disagree with it.




  • One of the benefits of downloading from usenet is that no VPN is required: all of your content to/from your usenet provider can be encrypted and you’re never uploading content, like a torrent.

    Look online and find yourself:

    • a usenet NZB indexer (pay for this service. Not free)

    • a usenet provider. Get a monthly subscription. They’re reasonably-priced. Tons of reviews out there, just search.

    After you have both of those, you install sonarr (for TV shows), radarr (for movies), and sabnzbd+ (for doing the download). You connect your indexer account to sonarr/radarr and your usenet account to sabnzbd. Then, for example, you search for a movie on your radarr installation: radarr sends a query to your NZB indexer, which finds a result and returns it to radarr; that result is then forwarded to sabnzbd from radarr; sabnzbd connects to your usenet account and downloads the requested content. Presto!

    In my specific case, I’m subscribed to a usenet indexing service, which is hooked in to sonarr & radarr, which send downloads to sabnzbd+ to trigger the downloads. Overseerr just adds another layer, sending requests to sonarr/radarr.

    That said, Overseerr will work with pretty much whatever your specific method is. Just hook it in and the services handle the rest.
