Looking for good USENET primer (lemm.ee)

I used to spend a lot of time on news:// protocol back in the 90s, but haven't touched it for good 20 years or so.

Could anyone point me to a good primer on how to use USENET for piracy? Looking for advice on client software, or webapps, good services worth paying the subscription that will give me access to all the right newsgroups and archives.

Last time I used news, all this stuff was free, so I'm at a bit of a loss on what's worth paying for.

Btw, I did try looking for answers before turning to Lemmy, but ended up with just a ton of SEO garbage articles designed to serve ads, waste time and provide no real answers :(

I use eweka and thundernews as backup. I rarely need thundernews. It only tries that one of eweka is missing what I'm looking for.
