What instance did you go to then? I don't keep up on "the best" instances, or those that defederate or block certain things. I was part of kbin.social at first, then moved to .world.

Doh, that's what I meant. I have an indexer lifetime, not provider.
The arr setup is confusing at first, but once you get one the rest are lock-step. I suggest checking out prowlarr which will simplify your indexer setup on the arrs. I'm sure there's a YouTube around that you can follow along too. Don't give up!
It may have been at one time but you now need to pay for a VPN or "Usenet provider" to connect to them. I pay yearly $70 for my Usenet provider and another $70 for my private VPN for torrents. There was a one time cost to my board of $100, but it's a lifetime pass I got on 50% sale during the holidays. Both would equate to roughly one year of a single subscription service if you wanted to dock your boat on a single island.
Agree. I'll need to check out Block News and see if they have any lifetime sales around the holidays. I bought a lifetime for my current board a few years ago for half price. Well worth it!
Technically still is the same usenet, now with more content!
About 3 years ago I got tired of stuck torrent queues and spent a few hours learning what Usenet is and it's various components. A little learning curve compared to torrents, but very comparable in the end. The only major difference is having to pay for a Usenet provider VPN and potentially subscribing to Usenet boards for membership.
I bought a yearly sub to a provider and lifetime sub to a very well know board. I justify the cost as money that would be wasted on a subscription service, except half the yearly cost. Usenet is now the primary download in my arr stack with torrent as a backup.
In my experience Usenet performs much faster than torrent, and there's no seeding requirement at all. Just grab and go. And it seems to have about 90% of what I'm looking for, from anime to old shows\movies (1950s to 20XX).
Too bad the US has actively banned Chinese EVs from being imported to focus or their own behind the times shit models.
I don't actively research EVs yet as I'm not in the market, but that's what I've read whenever I get a little interest in them. I'm not keen on investing until there are more charging places in my area before getting serious on the switch.
Guess I better borrow it before it's hard to find!
I mean, that sucks but I run pihole on my network and don't have any injected ads on my Samsung displays, and all base functionality I need works without issue.
My boss puts it best. WebEx for Calling, Zoom for Meetings and Teams for Collaboration (the actual Teams function).

Wireguard IS a VPN. He has somehow through his challenges of exposing services to the internet, exposed wireguard from his home to the internet for him to connect to. Then he can connect to his internal services from there.
It's honestly the best option and how I operate as well. I only have a handful of items exposed and even those flow through a DMZ proxy before hitting their destination servers.
