And a myriad of fake ones piggybacking off the original URL to JavaScript your mouse clicks into link backs so it takes 8 clicks on a link to find the file is dead anyway.

What is the easy way to stream movies/series hosted on file hosting/sharing sites?

For streaming not-so-easily accessible media that I find only on file hosting sites, which often limit the speed and number of downloads, I unlock links with Alldebrid and stream them in VLC player. This is impossible for members of my family to do, especially on a TV (fire stick). Is there a way I can acquire the links and make...

If you want Jellyfin to fetch media from a rapidgator or megaup URL, then nope, haven’t seen anything like that.

It’s a bit old but here’s a pretty thorough list of their plugins: reddit.com/…/list_of_all_known_jellyfin_plugin_re…

And: github.com/awesome-jellyfin/awesome-jellyfin

JF supports all the Arrs suite, so you may be able to do what you want (stream media) in other ways. For example, doing it all on JF yourself and then creating accounts for your family. You would be the admin setting up the content and they would just log in and consume it.

Yes as of writing this, the instance works fine. But that’s what I’m saying, within an hour it’ll be down, or just show the thumbnails but not actually load videos.

The takehome is Google isn’t going to let Piped exist. And constantly does things to interfere which Piped can only do so much to bypass it all.

I’m sorry when you say most, you mean all right? Right??

What's the deal with the private trackers?

I’ve read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you’re gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn’t the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn’t that type of...

No protocol is illegal in and of itself. BitTorrent wasn’t created solely to aid in piracy. Most Linux distros have their OS seeded. Same goes for lots of the internet archive. I used to transfer work files all the time using it.

How private am I?

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it’s “strict” setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn’t work due to blocked connections I relax the...

What can we do about major sites blocking VPN providers?

I use ProtonVPN for everything, and I’ve started noticing more and more sites simply blocking me if I try to connect to them through ProtonVPN. As much as it sucks, I’ve more or less become acclimated to having to deal with an increased number of captchas while using a VPN; but I’m pretty angry about being blocked...

You can’t hide behind a VPN and access the entirety of the net. There will always be some site that will block you. It’s just par for the course. Unwinnable battle.

They have been trying to make this a thing for a while now. Glad they are finally near the finish line!

And if anyone had doubts about their no-log policies. These guys are just great!

But why. There are so many good, legit places. Why do you feel you owe them your allegiance. Even despite knowing it’s a scam. This is the weirdest behaviour to me, sorry.

ultratiem,
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

They just want ad clicks. It’s a really basic scam. Duplicate the website. Flood it with javascript mouse clicks and you can get an ad impression for every 3/4 clicks. Multiply that by thousands you can make decent coin.

That’s all they are really after.

In what world does a VPN need access to Camera and Bluetooth? (i.imgur.com)

I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions....

I don’t get why the entire world isn’t on Mullvad.

I don’t trust these guys at all. I trialed them and despite their full money back guarantee, they locked me into a support loop, always switching support staff with boiler plate responses and links that dealt with account issues or whatever. It wasn’t until I left a stern reply demanding the refund or I would escalate the matter with the proper regulatory bodies.

It took 4 support tickets. To me, they came across hella shady.

ultratiem,
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m going to assume they didn’t implement this because money. Their app runs on everything, from iOS to Android to Windows. Cost savings they likely just flipped camera permissions and didn’t care about small edge cases like these.

With that said, Mullvad is a million times better, cheaper and doesn’t require even an email or account creation to use. They created a system that effectively anonymizes the user before they even subscribe.

Is a VPN needed with DNS over HTTPS and Encrypted Client Hello?

I was wondering if a VPN would add any kind of security or privacy if one is connecting to a host with a client/browser that supports DNS over HTTPS and that host supports encrypted client hello. Is there a way for the ISP or anything in between to shape traffic or even know what is being accessed? The only thing that should be...

ultratiem, (edited )
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

This is the correct answer. A VPN encrypts and obfuscates all your connections, not just the web browser.

If all you care about is hiding the websites you visit from your ISP, DNS over TLS is fine. But just remember that you’re bleeding data by using your real IP (ISP, geolocation, etc.). And any other connection, is just unabashedly, you.

How to begin setting up a media center?

I have 16TB NAS dedicated to storing TV shows. It is just a cabinet with ryzen 2600 and no graphics card. I have installed openmediavault in it to access it via smb to other devices.

Yeah, be careful relying on status messages from trackers, most are actually not that reliable and may misreport. Have had it happen on occasion as well.

I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org (jeena.net)

I couldn’t find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can’t really be, it’s only 29 years old....

I get my mame ROMS (and most others too) from them. I’ve also found movies and some other content. Their torrents max my line (1 Gbps).

I assume they have to cash in some. Or else the SEC comes sniffing around like “you guys have given out 3 million shares over ten years but no one has ever cashed a singled one out, hmmmmm”. So those are likely the rare few. And a few units tracks because they aren’t giving $2m in stock to some entry level tech.

I always liken those practices to the same shit they flash musicians or sports figures during negotiations. Wave a mansion, Lambo, gold, some ladies making all kinds of promised. But in the end, some contractual loop hole says that you’re just “borrowing” it all. Fake money.

qBittorrent network interface bind not working?

I am using ProtonVPN, and have (or so I thought) set up qBittorrent to bind to the network interface that ProtonVPN is using (tun0). The connection symbol turns red if I turn off the VPN, and downloads will stop. However, when checking the torrent address on ipleak.net, it seems that this bind is not working properly - my real...

You bound torrent client to tun0 You bound VP to tun0

If VPN is on, torrent client connects using VPN. If VPN is off, torrent client cannot connect to VPN or internet.

This is what should happen. It would be more helpful if you told us what you want to do. Do you want the torrent client to keep downloading but no longer behind the VPN? Because most people don’t want that. Which is why they set it up your way. Just in case the VPN accidentally goes down, you dox yourself.

Also a point I haven’t seen made, but a website is not torrent traffic. You could be behind a VPN through your browser but not through your torrent client (Apple’s Private Relay does this, only blanking you from websites). So the fact your torrent client stopped and the web was working seems to point to everything working as it should. You shouldn’t lose any internet unless it’s also bound to tun0.

Also, what did you use to create the tun0 interface to bind your client and VPN to?
