piracy

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed....

I just checked out Twitch again after a while and WOW has that site gotten shitty. But I’m trying to watch someone and really don’t want ads every few minutes. Instead of paying Bezos to remove half the ads, how can I configure my uBlock Origin to block them all for free?

I got out of video game piracy for a while, but I’m coming back. One thing I have been absolutely SHOCKED by is how finding PC game torrents is actually kind of difficult from my normal sources. Now it’d be one thing if I just wasn’t seeing games, but for some reason Playstation and Switch have far more uploaders and...

Anybody have any recommendations for public or private trackers for ebooks? Looking mainly for epub files.

Even the site that considered safe in the megathread, there’s report of malware and trojan and I don’t know what site to use

Hi, I seek your help once again. I’m in the need of upgrading my storage now and I found what I consider to be a good deal via Amazon on an older gen enterprise WD drive that supposedly hasn’t been used, but I’ll let the power on hours tell me the truth. The price is about 16usd/TB and I’m wondering if this is a bad idea...

I assume there’s some historical reason for this, but currently, the way scene releases reach most people seems to consist of:...

Hey guys, I just had a curiosity on the multiple ways of storaging stuff and how long would that hold, take backing it up to a newer storage after some years out of the table....

The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.

I have transmission running on my server in a docker container that is supposed to go through gluetun. If I run test with ipleak and other torrent ip testers it shows my vpn’s ip address. However transmission is running way faster download speeds than deluge or qbit were with the same configuration. It makes me wonder if all...

I am sure I am just missing something simple… I have prowlarr -> sonarr/radarr -> qbittorrent -> jellyfin I created three directories. /jelly/video /sonarr /radarr. I configured sonarr and radar to use their respective directories. And I configured qbittorrent to use /jelly/video as the default download dir....

Looking for some advice on my journey to expand my local storage. Currently, I have a mini PC running my Arr setup with Plex and I have an external enclosure with a HDD connected through USB. I can reliably push 4K to my Android TV. This is the system’s only use and purpose....

I am trying to finally move from entirely depending on Google Photos to a proper backup strategy. I have my photos and videos downloaded from Google which are a mess right now but as long they’re with me I am fine, at least for now....

Roosterteeth removed most episodes from Youtube some months ago and the videos on their website have so much ads that they ruin everything. I have tried looking for it, but most pirate sites that I know of either don’t have it at all, don’t work, or don’t have captions.

Decided to dip my toes in so I followed the guide to a website where I can download some content via google drive. Like an idiot, I didn’t research the risks of direct downloads before and so I’m now a bit paranoid. I understand the chances are low and my media player needs to be exploited but is there a way to be certain? A...

I’m having trouble with my recently set up *arr stack, but it does seem to be specifically related to Jellyseerr....

livetv.sx is out? Anybody knows what happened?

I’ve been looking for a digital copy of Kronecker Wallis’ text, “Euclid’s Elements”, on the major sites (AA, ZL, LG, VK, IRC, Scribd, Mobilism, rutracker, Ocean of PDF, etc.) but they’ve all come up empty....

Ahoy Mateys ! I am a big fan of watching soccer (or football), and usually I would just turn on my PC, look for reddit soccer stream, and watch thus way. However, I recently invested in an Nvidia shield (the stick), and was wondering if there was a way for me to watch the games directly on it, without turning on my PC? I already...

As I get more and more invites to private trackers, I’m finding that I find myself spending more and more time on public tracker websites....

Can anyone point me in the direction of a list of parts for the rp2040 mod chip? I got one of the blue pcb ones without the ribbon cables and I need to know the sizes of resistors and mosfet.
