I am currently uploading the unarchived files from /gif/ and /wsg/ to usenet.
If it makes it to the first party archive, it gets uploaded, for the most part.
The goal is to make the files accessible after they are pruned, in addition to archiving them. I would consider this much better than the current "nothing".
My setup currently uses very little space, since it simply dumps the files to usenet and deletes them from the local machine.
It also heavily relies on the existing archives, who do archive the text and thumbnails. (thank.)

Here is what I hope is a brief, sufficient tutorial on how to access the files.

The [usenet] link will automatically search the hash of the file on a public usenet indexer.

Preview:

Simple, right? Now click the download button to get the file's NZB.

To actually get the files, you will need

1. A usenet client.
2. A usenet provider.

For the client, I suggest https://sabnzbd.org/
It is dead simple to use, and the setup handholds while you enter your providers.

old/dead

For the provider, the suggestion I have is "good enough", I would not endorse them, but it's free. https://xsusenet.com/ 25GB/mo for free. https://my.xsusenet.com/index.php?/cart/free-usenet/ (do not enter phone#)

10GB free trial:

The server login info is located here.

A properly setup client should look like:

Last part is to simply click the NZB you downloaded. Just like torrents, only they want you to pay.
