Any platform that believes it should be their choice whether the user can opt-in to any part of the fediverse, is a big no from me.

Usenet is paid, usually 2+ subscriptions, a Usenet/backbone provider + an indexer.
That's how it should work, but many services have been increasing pricing with email warnings for the last decade.
My friend has PS+ and it has multiplied in price for 3-month intervals without him ever confirming the new price. He's had it for a decade without touching it and genuinely wouldn't know he's being charged so much more than he agreed to if I didn't tell him.
This is in Australia which normally has better protections for consumers, but it's possible we don't in this case as it's happened to me with every subscription I've ever had they send a n email and then start charging an amount I never agreed to.
The only exception was AEW+ via Fite.tv which was in USD, that was the only time I ever lost my sub when the price changed, which given it went up +40% I was glad they handled it respectfully.
I ripped out all my portable drives, had to make a cable without the energy management line for inside a PC.
Big ATX case with 8 3.5' bays, mobo with 6 Sata ports, last two ports will require a SATA-PCIe expansion card.
1x 4TB (shucked)
2x 6TB (shucked)
1x 8TB HDD
1x 16TB Ironwolf Pro
40TB across 5 bays, 1 left without expansion card, 2 more with the card, following that the 4TB will get dropped for a bigger drive.
I'll likely be buying no less than 12TB per drive going forward, no RAID configuration yet.

You can buy 7th Gen Intel 4-core with 16GB DDR4 & 128GB SSD for cheaper than a Raspberry Pi 4.
I have both a Pi4 & a ThinkCentre which is significantly more powerful, doesn’t take up much more space.
Hetzner VPS
He owes a lot of money to banks, etc, for the company.
Explicitly closing Twitter would make him liable for destroying other people’s equity. Accidentally destroying twitter while pretending to drastically fix it, while pretending it’s failing against his will and his taking measures to save it, is the only way to kill it without being on the hook for it.
It’s about the server access sellers, but to block a whole major VPS instead of accounts that commit the violation is kinda absurd.
It looks like another step towards further restricting what users can do with their servers, local or virtual.
I use Turkey, it’s around $2.50 per month for the 6-person plan.
I’m considering 1.5GB for $16.88 per year, comes with a little less monthly transfer but I don’t think I will need the difference.
What spec does that get you? I’ve tried cheap 512mb 1 vCore before and it wasn’t adequate.
Hetzner is cheaper
ThinkPads are considered the Windows/Linux equivalent of Apple laptops in business settings.
Deemix with a Deezer free trial for good quality, free is 128kbps.
It was the main introduction to email for a lot of Australians, they’ve been using it as is for 15-20 years.
It’s more than just one generation that uses it, I know people in their thirties who use theirs via the Gmail app as with any long-term email their is no need to change address.
I remember only signing up to Gmail because it felt new and techy.
I use Frugal Usenet via this link and NZBGeek as my indexer for $6/6m
I agree with the diversification of ownership, it’s too large now for one couple to own outright and be in the best interest as an organisation.
It kept getting updated, assuming it’s completed you could do that.
I generally use the Raspberry Pi Imager, It works just as well with USB’s as TF cards.
