Rebooting just seems like a very roundabout, slow and inefficient way to get back to that initial state you describe.

It’s exactly what the reboot process is designed to do; return you to that fully encrypted pre-boot state. There would be no purpose to implementing a second method that does the exact same thing.

Much of the data on your phone, including critical information that’s required to run the operating system and make the device function, is fully encrypted when the device is off/rebooted.

While in this locked down state, nothing can run. You don’t receive notifications, applications can’t run in the background, even just accessing the device yourself is slow as you have to wait for the whole system to decrypt and start up.

When you unlock the device for the first time; much of that data is decrypted so that it can be used, and the keys required to unlock the rest of the data get stored in memory where they can be quickly accessed and used. This also makes the device more vulnerable to attacks.

There’s always a trade off between convenience and security. The more secure a system, the less convenient it is to use.

NTD is the European version of DMCA essentially.

It’s not a good thing; but usenet providers like any other internet service are generally subject to one or the other depending on their location, so it’s good to know which one covers the provider you use.

With providers spread across the globe, mirroring each others data, and subject to different copyright notice/takedown laws; the whole system is quite robust against removals. While you can send notices to individual providers, It’s extremely difficult to coordinate a global takedown effort and truly remove content from usenet as a whole.

That’s why multiple provider’s in different regions can be beneficial. Some people will buy ‘block’ accounts (a fixed amount of data to be used as needed, vs a monthly cap) for a provider in a separate region to fallback on when the data has been taken down from their local provider.

Retention refers to how long a particular provider keeps the data users upload. 3-5k days is pretty typical, but there are some lower ones. Data is also mirrored across the backbones of all the different providers; so if it’s removed from one (due to retention or a takedown notice) it’s still available on others.

I’ve had little to no issue finding content, with 97% of data I’ve requested being available (stats from SabNZBD); but in the off chance you want something that is unavailable, most indexers have a requests section.

Similar to setting up torrenting, usenet indexers/clients can be added to the arr stacks for automation. I’m not sure about Kodi/Real Debrid as I don’t use those.

In short, you need three things: (here’s what I’ve been using)

An indexer: NZBgeek Just like a torrent indexer, but for .nzb files instead of .torrents

A provider: Frugal Usenet Where you’re downloading data from.

And a client: SabNZBD

When it comes to which provider to choose; pretty much all of them provide similar retention and unlimited data cap, so you really just need to look for something nearby. Often people will recommend having 2 providers one covered by DMCA and one covered by NTD to make content more available; but I’ve not really noticed a need.

Meh, switch to usenet. Download as much as you want, at max bandwidth 100% of the time, with 0 need for a vpn and no obligation to re-seed content for months on end.

Go fuck yourself with a flaming lithium dildo Tesla.

You don’t. You ship it and see what the bill is when it hits the border.

It’s part of why companies are halting shipments. You can try to guess what the upcharge(s) will be at the border(s) and pass that to the customer; but if you get it wrong (or it changes mid-transit), you’re either charging your customers excessively, driving them off, or you’re eating additional costs yourself.

All those US zebra exports…

Who said anything about aproval?

Hasn’t the US claimed they have no authority to do so? Last I saw, the Trump admin was claiming it’s up to El Salvador to return them.

No advertising platform has any incentive to prevent bot traffic; they actively profit from ‘failing’ to prevent it.

You can’t block youtube ads with DNS blocking; youtube serves ads from the same domains it serves the actual video from.

You need a custom youtube client like Revanced.
