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. (by mbruel)
ngPost
Command Line (or minimalist GUI) usenet poster for binaries developped in C++/QT designed to be as fast as possible and offer all the main features to post data easily and safely. Releases for Linux, Windows and MacOS are available. (by mbruel)

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
