NIN will be around until 30 September 2027:
<https://individual.net/>

If you have a subscription, then you don't have to pay extra for it.

Other newsservers:

<https://www.eternal-september.org/>

<https://solani.org/>

<https://usenet.ovh/>

These are all free.

What you can also do (what I have done years ago) is buy a block of 25
GB for $10 at Astraweb: <https://www.astraweb.com/>

If you only use it for text and not binaries, then it'll take years
before you're out of data.
