I hate that there is such a rigid structure required for directories and such. Can’t my drive of audiobooks just be scattered trash like everything else in my data life? Lol

I mean usenet servers are running with insane retention… omicron hosts have 5648 day retention, other backbones are over 4500

Unless it gets taken down, it doesn’t go away anymore… providers just keep retaining. I suppose that will end eventually… maybe some day the cost of storage will prohibit archiving 15 year old binary usenet posts.

I used this list and signed up for library cards in 20 different places. Just Google for an address near the library or even use the libraries address.

From my experience, the sno isle library has what I’m looking for for often them the rest.
