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)
Then download the source code as ZIP file from GitHub (https://github.com/mbruel/ngPost/archive/refs/heads/master.zip)

Noob trying uploading/posting to Usenet
ngpost is very beginner friendly, try using that instead

Need help uploading a binary
Maybe you want to give ngPost a try: https://github.com/mbruel/ngPost
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
- Upload all files inside folder

If we dont use RAR, are passwords possible ?
A bit of a different tack: consider whether you even need to use a password. I made a comment here to the tune of thinking it makes little sense in most cases. Do passwords actually provide any more protection than obfuscation? Before mindlessly answering 'yes', consider the fact that passwords aren't actually used for secure encryption purposes in Usenet (since the password needs to be shared around), but rather a fancy form of obfuscation. Unfortunately, I don't really have any hard evidence one way or the other, so I don't like making this point (though I'd argue that proponents don't have any evidence either), but I think it's worth the thought.
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).
I just noticed this from mbruel https://github.com/mbruel/ngPost/issues/102

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

Usenet Posting - Obfuscation, PAR files, RAR uploads and other things
Is this the correct way to obfuscate - https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/issues/10 or do people usually leave the obfuscated filenames in both the article subject and the nzb?
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

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.

Upload all files inside folder
RAR is not necessary. This was discussed here in detail recently https://np.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/ly2zmk/imagine_if_unpacking_wasnt_necessary_we_should/ https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/wiki/Stop-RAR-Uploads

If we dont use RAR, are passwords possible ?
It was mentioned that encryption/password protection may be reason why you'd stick with RAR.

Split Server Idea - Worth It?
(you can also chide uploaders to stop using RAR - it won't help you now, but it'll improve future downloads)
