This is the way!

Cool to see someone pull this kind of malware apart. Interesting read.

Torrents are pretty terrible without private trackers. Since majority of free sites have no access to an API and require prowlarr/jacket to create one, a cloudflare slover to bypass bot protections and even then it's janky.

If you use private trackers, you now have to keep seeding downloads to keep your ratio healthy, and require additional trickery to allow files to be seeded after sorting by sonarr.

Usenet is plug and play, as the indexes are built with this functionality in mind and it's far less likely to run into malicious uploads, as there is curation occuring on the paid indexes, ie, they are insentivised to make the paying customer happy.

A Vibe coded mess is what we getting.

Linus used to shame large companies for not contributing to open source, now he shames devs for not using the large companies closed source software.

We shorten Windows to Win, not WOS, Macintosh to Mac, not MOS, so why not Post from postmarketOS. Nura is a forgettable name, and says nothing of what it is.

Went from a recognisable name, to one that's you'd forget the moment you look away.

It probably runs payroll and no one is willing to miss a paycheck due to a botched updated

There's probably a fortunate 500 company running some load bearing server from 20 years ago, that ends up back in production, everytime they fail to migrate the critical service away from it.

There must have been demand to keep x86 32bit alive this long.

Well if you still like your hardware, and want continued, updated, software support, one of the BSD's still likely to get you there for a bit longer. NetBSD likely being the one that drops it last.

But at some point, as long as you able to do your work and copy data back and forth, does it matter. Even just running winXP or 7 will get you along for sometime.

FreeDOS will always support x86, lol.

At least you not running something with an old big edian PowerPC machine. Support for those suck!

Does the machine a a socketed CPU, it appeared it runs the Core2 CPUs, if you get a core2duo, those support 64bit. I have a ThinkPad x60 with a 32bit Core2 CPU. It's odd that there was 32bit only version of that class of CPU. I haven't bothered to try upgrade it though.

I would recommend looking into the BSD's, they have stronger support for older and unusual architectures. Something like nomadBSD, uses xfce on freeBSD

Bold of you to assume I don't like using plastic donuts of data.
