My Usenet interface is comprised of three things:
1. A telnet backend
2. A vi frontend
3. Scripts galore ported over the years from platform to platform
I have to manually put someone in my killfile, which is literally a
dictionary lookup file (like everything else), so, once I plonk someone
(which I rarely do), they're gonna be in there forever.
As an aside, you'll understand that a telnet approach to Usenet doesn't
care about nntp-related "headers"; headers are just a complication that is
randomly pulled out of a dictionary lookup.
The dictionary itself is not random, as I have to create those files by
hand, but they are simply lines inside of one of the many feeder files:
Here's a tiny snippet of the user-agent dictionary lookup, for example:
flnews/0.14 (for AIX)
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Icedove/45.5.1
slrn/0.9.8.1 (FreeBSD)
tin/1.4.5-20010409 ("One More Nightmare") (UNIX) (SunOS/5.10 (i86pc))
Forte Agent 1.93/32.576 English (American)
Xnews/2009.05.01
MicroPlanet-Gravity/3.0.4
XPN/1.2.6 (Street Spirit ; Linux)
Thoth/1.9.0 (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.3790.1830
etc.
Come to think of it, I probably should update that list as they're getting
old and that will hurt my anonymity from the aggregator bots.

Nice and simple, I agree. It's a stopwatch, not an alarm timer, but I
wasn't clear so that's understandable. I like that it runs on any Windows
and that the user interface is fast and clean. At first I wondered why
there was a "description" field but then I realized it runs as many as you
want concurrently so that's how to tell them apart.
It's a keeper for a stopwatch - but not a 10-minute type alarm timer.

Aaauuurrrgggghhh! Lists of lists of lists of lists of lists of lists.
The high expense of freeware is in all the mistakes in those lists!
You might want to see my reply about using AirDroid. That eliminates
using an Android emulator and instead runs the Android app on its native
platform but lets you view it on your Windows PC.
I saw that, and I appreciate the level of care, concern, and detail you put
into your very factual answers. I deplore these types of solutions, where,
really, all I really ever wanted was a New Pipe port to Windows.
I didn't really "want" to use an emulator - it just happened to be the only
solution that would run all of which New Pipe does, in a single app, on
Windows.
BTW, to prove that I can "learn", I did put AdBlock in my Windows browser
and I was amazed at how simple it was to do a before and after of YouTube
where those little yellow advertisement bars disappeared!
So AdBlock has its place - but I don't generally watch YouTube in a
browser, and I generally deplore browser-specific solutions.
But it does work. And it is simple. So kudos to AdBlock for that!
You run the Android
app on the smartphone. You can view it on Windows (or any platform and
anywhere by using a web browser using their web access method).
I think I used to do that with stuff like Kies and some Samsung Play apps
and my Motorola did that long ago (Motorola RAZR - that's how long ago it
was), but I deplore that approach philosophically.
