Not to start a war, but I think the place here is better for free discussion of games piracy. the lemmy community they site on their subreddit is literally dead, has just one or two posts. It would have been good if a rival community to r/piratedgames appears here on dbzer0 too, I mean r/piracy is still there, but this place is...
Honestly, pirating anything with an executable in it is just asking for something to happen. The hoops required to mitigate these risks, especially when games mostly now are online with a multiplayer component, I can understand why game-piracy would really only be for the people who are REALLY hardcore into AAA titles. Most of the stuff I purchase now is indie and ends up being better than AAA titles, and it’s cheap enough that I don’t really even want to pirate it.
Additionally, lemmy just doesn’t have the eyeballs that Reddit has…still. I can understand someone’s justification if they stayed over there. I got site-banned once just for reporting a mod for child-predatory statements, and I literally hadn’t even made a comment. Just reporting the post got me banned. So I’m over here hiding from child predators.
Were you trying to install a VPN kill-switch in iptables or something and mess up somehow? I did have an issue similar to this once, where I was firing up my VPN, not realizing it wasn’t allowing multiple clients, and so my initial client would get kicked off and I’d have to reauth on the VPN to get connected again – in my case I was split-tunnelling a wireguard connection, but could that be happening? Are you firing up Qbittorrent with some sort of VPN scripts and getting kicked off of your normal VPN connection?
“Fitgirl” bugs the fuck out of me. They repack everything in an executable installer? Fuck that shit. I’ve been running her ‘installer’ on a VM, and then ripping the damn NSPs out. Why the fuck won’t they just distribute the NSP?
Does compression really matter when it’s a torrent and you’re just extracting the file anyhow? It’s not your bandwidth, it’s a conglomeration of everyones bandwidth, so you’re not really having to deal with back end things like saving data.
There can be. There are certainly Bios’ that don’t give options that motherboards are perfectly capable of changing. I had an old Phenom II that I managed to patch NVME support into the bios so I could boot off of a PCIe Riser.
Granted, I was patching UEFI stuff and none of it was open source – but the idea is the same. Open source bios in theory, could unlock features.
Hot/All - I have it set to show NSFW, but I block most of the NSFW subs individually or the people who are just trying to push people to OF. Problem is on old.lemmy, you have to visit the group you want to block if you want to block it. So my history looks like a lot of me going to yiff/gay/rape/incest/torture shit…but there’s no button to block it on the mlmym version of lemmy unless I go do the stupid group directly. Author says he implemented this functionality, but it doesn’t work in FF.
Haha, I never thought of this but…I WAS the IT department in a previous life. I never really thought about how none of this shit really affected me. Granted, I’d have everyone using Yubikeys+Password for logins if I were in charge now.
Look at your ‘source’ for this comment, did you notice that Lemmy seems to be adding closing tags to the end of it automatically? That makes me think there’s some formatting that could be broken out of, doesn’t seem to be handled all that well.
Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.
I don’t know if this just got initially deleted or whatever, but I use wireguard with a “custom” plan on windscribe, and it’s like $1/month. IPs are shared among hundreds of users and they keep no identifying logs.
I use a split tunnel on the vanilla wireguard client, so I’m not using anything from windscribe software-wise; and I set my torrent client to only use the ethernet device for the tunnel. So no need to worry about kill switches or leaking shit when the VPN drops.
Also – I’ve tested the Wireguard connection on Windscribe and it easily handles 1gb upload/download.
Do one of the eminem skits, like the Ken Kaniff skit where it’s just sounds of someone sucking dick. It’s like a minute long, and nobody will ever invite you back out for Karaoke again. Problem solved.
Copy the URL, open it in a private window with ublock origin set to allowed in private windows. Can still view the video, and now they also can’t attribute it to your user account.
Like most things, it’s their recommendation engine that is actually pretty good. For as much as people complain about “the algorithm”, it’s useful enough that it surfaces unknown people constantly for me, and suggests things that I am interested in watching (metalworking videos, welding, machining, 3d printing, godot programming, etc.) Without an account you just get… normie bullshit clickbait.
Honestly, I’m about to also drop Netflix and find one of these $2/mo plex servers - pay through bitcoin or something. I already run the whole Jellyfin/Sonarr/Radarr/Jackett/Reverse Proxy thing myself, but having to deal with all the local storage is just a pain in the ass. Might as well let someone else deal with it.

I’m pretty sure that yes, this would work - Though I’ve never used colab, I’ve always run local on my RTX 3090 24gb. Stable diffusion wants LOTS of VRAM.

You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.

Do you pay for Discord Nitro? (lemmy.world)
I’m curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.
What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?
For me, it’s “Clear Storage”. Sometimes I try to clear the cache of some mobile game I’m playing and end up deleting all my progress instead.
