No, there is nothing, and any investigation by copyright holders wouldn't lead to anything. Trying to get anything out of usenet today is futile.

I don't really know. For text based discussion, I prefer something like Lemmy, also due to better moderation tools etc. It's a cool early thread-based discussion tool, but mostly outdated.

Unfortunately, there is absolutely zero other use for it, and nobody should ever bother, it's wasted time.

YOUR REALITY IS SHAKEN

YOU HEAR THE WORD "MONDAY" ECHOING AND SHIFTING IN COLOURS

A kind of interesting phenomenon. He comes in with his dog, cries that he doesn't have a place to stay, Jon allows it for as long as needed and then... he just vanishes one day, leaving Odie with Jon, never to contact them again. Did something happen between the two? Was he ever real or a product of Jon's mind? A wiki states:

According to Davis, Lyman's original purpose was to be someone who Jon could actually talk to and express other ideas — a role gradually taken over by Garfield, himself.

It doesn't reveal who gave Lyman that purpose; it could be that it was Jon himself who, over the years, got less attached to reality, so he got done with talking to and interacting with Garfield.

That or it's just a lazy uninspired comic that only has a minimum level of continuity and doesn't care to explain why a former choir character suddenly vanishes.

It actually works. I read over it

Edit: interestingly, that link is now gone

Very informative, thanks! I totally understand what it's about now.

Note: pressing continue doesn't solve it, the instructions that follow don't work because my adblock is DNS-based at system level.

Why so soft?

The vehicle seems to loud -> perform a check -> if it is too loud, confiscate to have it examined and fine the driver -> if vehicle is found to have been tampered with using illegal parts, don't return it and fine some more

Then bring it back into a legal state and auction it off anonymously

Really? They might use some GNU programs, but I'm sure the default user land for OpenBSD is all theirs. Just because you know cp etc. as GNU utils doesn't mean the BSDs use the same ones. They are just part of the operating system. https://github.com/dcantrell/bsdutils tried to collect various BSD implementations for example

A synthetic substance similar to mescaline, less headspace and body load, more entactogen, shorter and more manageable duration. Kind of like a hedonistic version of psychs compared to LSD.

I was also with a provider that didn't offer API access for the longest time. When they then increased prices, I switched, now paying a third of their asking price per year at a very good provider.

I guess migrating is difficult if the provider doesn't offer a mechanism to either dump the DNS to a file or perform a zone transfer (the later being part of the standard).

Can only recommend INWX for domains, though my personal requirements aren't the highest.
