- Had to compile ngPost myself on Linux since the old AppImages used old SSL library. Now my compiled version doesn’t recognize that I have par2 installed o my system. How can I make ngPost find that one? (It does detect my /use/bin/rar execufable)

ngpost is very beginner friendly, try using that instead

current guides on how to start uploading to usenet? including creating NZB file
I tested some time ago and the one I liked the most is ngPost (https://github.com/mbruel/ngPost). It handels RARing, par2, password protection and obfuscation by itself and spits out a ready .nzb file. I needed a tool that can be used via command line, which worked fine, but i just saw that it also has a GUI if you need that

Why are you trying to compile it from source ?

Usenet Posting - Obfuscation, PAR files, RAR uploads and other things
I assume standard obfuscation only consists of renaming the files and then posting normally while article obfuscation is modifying the subject like in the nyuu issue above. If someone is familiar with ngpost, are there 3 levels of obfuscation available here - article, filename and archive name? I can’t imagine much use for filename obfuscation if the other two are used, is everything else unnecessary with article obfuscation? The ngpost author also seems to be against obfuscation in general

How to share on USENET?
ngPost may be a good program to start with as it also has a GUI (graphical user interface): https://github.com/mbruel/ngPost
-
Is the NgPost development still ongoing?
Last commit was on 2021-05-16. I personally wouldn't consider it abandoned at this stage. (besides, the Usenet upload scene is full of people using abandoned software, so I'm not even sure abandonment means much anyway)
- Upload all files inside folder
-
If we dont use RAR, are passwords possible ?
Actually, both are incorrect, and I explain why that's a bad idea. The behaviour may have been true in the past, but isn't today (and as mentioned, writing temporary files sucks for performance).
-
Uploading to usenet with no SSL. Safe?
The Nyuu wiki has a good comparison. If you're familiar with a command line Nyuu itself is a good choice, if not choose one of the programs with a GUI like ngPost or JBinUp (doesn't have a site anymore and isn't actively maintained).

WinRAR zero-day exploited since April to hack trading accounts
Hopefully that slowly stops being the standard: https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/wiki/Stop-RAR-Uploads
- It‘s been more than 2 years that animetosho plead uploaders to stop RAR‘in their Usenet uploads. What are Your thoughts on this in 2023?

Noob trying uploading/posting to Usenet
Can someone eli5 how to do it? I've looked at https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/wiki/Usenet-Uploaders but I don't know to how to install these. The github links on that page are confusing to me as I don't know where to click to actually download the programs.

Usenet library
* does depend a bit on how crazy/complex you want to go I suppose. My NNTP implementation ended up being a lot less straightforward, as I put a lot of effort into error handling / retry functionality (which I don't see implemented in most libraries), and speed optimised yEnc isn't exactly straightforward either
-
Dealing with RAR formats
It's used as a poor man's BitTorrent equivalent for FTP, in some prominent sharing circles. Of course, BitTorrent exists, but getting some people to adopt technology invented this millennium can be difficult. It's also still used by many Usenet uploaders likely due to misconceptions on how the system works. Again, it makes little technical sense today, but it's an old environment with a lot of old traditions.

Usenet Posting - Obfuscation, PAR files, RAR uploads and other things
That's the conclusion I came to, but contrary to expectations, I saw newer uploaders lowering it to 700k for compatibility instead. - https://github.com/demanuel/NewsUP/pull/67 - https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/issues/1

Large binary post PAR2 help please
You do not need to split your file. RARs are unnecessary on Usenet https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/wiki/Stop-RAR-Uploads
-
Is it possible to stream the videos instead of downloading it?
In theory, it's possible if there's no missing articles and uploaders stop RARing uploads.
-
how
All the posting tools make a NZB file as they upload https://github.com/animetosho/nyuu

Going in on Raspberry Pi 4 for downloading
Yet another reason to get uploaders to stop RARing uploads. Just spreading the word around ;)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ngPost and Nyuu you can also consider the following projects:
nzbCheck - command line tool to check nzb files. First inside the nzb to see if each files has the expected number of Articles, then we check their availability on Usenet using the NNTP Stat command. Implemented in C++11/Qt5, nzbCheck is released for Linux, Windows, MacOS and RPI.
nZEDb - nZEDb - a fork of nnplus(2011) | NNTP / Usenet / Newsgroup indexer.
NewsUP - Fully feature high performance binary usenet uploader/poster
Usenet - A library for working with Usenet. It offers an NNTP client, an NZB file parser, builder, writer, a yEnc encoder and decoder.
bkcrack - Crack legacy zip encryption with Biham and Kocher's known plaintext attack.
