Does anybody know of a way past their paywall? thanks.

I read the rules and it looks like this is allowed? not asking for links.

I gave up on piracy years ago. My big issue, at the time, was how often my torrents for movies didn't have subtitles for the foreign language parts. I know there were subtitle packs i could get but that didn't work for me because, at the time, my thing was tossing it on a flash drive and playing it on my TV. The day I broke and started paying for digital movies on things like google play was when i watch both Civil War and Apocalypse in the same day. So many parts of those movies where i had NO IDEA WHAT WAS BEING SAID

I just now have set up my plex server. I got it running over there on my TV and dusted off my old piracy folder to test it out. My big question now that im coming back to this world is.....whos the big names I should be looking for on torrents? Is there someone who solves my subtitle issue? Back in the day YIFY was my favorite for consistent quality.

Sorry for the swabbie question, but I tried to find a film (Saw X in particular) on quite a few different sites and all torrents/streams/downloads had baked in ads for online casinos and the like. Is this just a feature of piracy, or does something change when the film leaves the cinema? I'm not asking for links, so don't invoke rule 3. Stay safe me hearties 💰☠️

With the new (not so now but relatively) copilot announcement. I surely want to have my Microsoft 365 with all my features possible.

What product should I download (options should be from MAS's office download website) to have the MOST FEATURES, I don't mind it being lightweight or anything, I just want all the features possible. Thanks in advance

I'm excited to announce the first alpha preview of this project that I've been working on for the past 4 months. I'm initially posting about this in a few small communities, and hoping to get some input from early adopters and beta testers.

What is a DHT crawler?

The DHT crawler is Bitmagnet’s killer feature that (currently) makes it unique. Well, almost unique, read on…

So what is it? You might be aware that you can enable DHT in your BitTorrent client, and that this allows you find peers who are announcing a torrent’s hash to a Distributed Hash Table (DHT), rather than to a centralized tracker. DHT’s lesser known feature is that it allows you to crawl the info hashes it knows about. This is how Bitmagnet’s DHT crawler works works - it crawls the DHT network, requesting metadata about each info hash it discovers. It then further enriches this metadata by attempting to classify it and associate it with known pieces of content, such as movies and TV shows. It then allows you to search everything it has indexed.

This means that Bitmagnet is not reliant on any external trackers or torrent indexers. It’s a self-contained, self-hosted torrent indexer, connected via the DHT to a global network of peers and constantly discovering new content.

The DHT crawler is not quite unique to Bitmagnet; another open-source project, magnetico was first (as far as I know) to implement a usable DHT crawler, and was a crucial reference point for implementing this feature. However that project is no longer maintained, and does not provide the other features such as content classification, and integration with other software in the ecosystem, that greatly improve usability.

Currently implemented features of Bitmagnet:

• A DHT crawler
• A generic BitTorrent indexer: Bitmagnet can index torrents from any source, not only the DHT network - currently this is only possible via the /import endpoint; more user-friendly methods are in the pipeline
• A content classifier that can currently identify movie and television content, along with key related attributes such as language, resolution, source (BluRay, webrip etc.) and enriches this with data from The Movie Database
• An import facility for ingesting torrents from any source, for example the RARBG backup
• A torrent search engine
• A GraphQL API: currently this provides a single search query; there is also an embedded GraphQL playground at /graphql
• A web user interface implemented in Angular: currently this is a simple single-page application providing a user interface for search queries via the GraphQL API
• A Torznab-compatible endpoint for integration with the Serverr stack

Interested?

If this project interests you then I'd really appreciate your input:

• How did you get along with following the documentation and installation instructions? Were there any pain points?
• There's a roadmap of high-priority features on the website - what do you see as the highest priority for near-term development?
• If you're a developer, are you interested in contributing to the project?

Thanks for your attention. If you're interested in this project and would like to help it gain momentum then please give it a star on GitHub, and expect further updates soon!

I recently wanted to watch Harry Potter (you know, a pretty famous movie). I was surprised not to find a single torrent of the movie in Spanish in multiple websites, and once I finally did, the dub was in Spain Spanish (as opposed to latinamerican Spanish).

Anyways, I think there should be a better way to do this, any suggestions?

PS: Sorry if asked before.

The original repository on Github has been taken down. I looked at the forks and none of them seem to have a compiled Linux executable.

Would anyone know if this project is still being update somewhere?

For month I use Soulseek with a vpn before I works back then and now is no longer the case even though It work If I turn off the vpn I rather be anonymous due I do not trust my ISP is there any alternatives to soulseek to download my FLACS thanks.

Gday folks,

Has anyone have any luck tracking down a source for surround and or Atmos music? whether it by DVD-A, BD-A, SACD, DTS-CD etc etc. Not looking for concerts here (I have plenty of those) but proper albums specifically mixed in multichannel and spacial formats.

I have pretty much everything I can find on Usenet and public trackers and have backed up all of my physical media but there is a lot out there that I know exists.

This post started out as a question, but throughout two days of googling it became this compilation of links. I will tell you everything worth mention that I found, share my plan with you, and expect some critics (for the infos of course, please not for the silly hyperactivity of my ADHD brain over such a trivial matter 🥲). Tell me what do you think, is windows 10 enterprise LTSC IoT actually the best OS for piracy? Is it Windows 7 for best fps with games despite DirectX11 being outdated? Or maybe everything could be done through Linux + Lutris&WINE for example? I'm moving out from ubuntu mainly cuz I still don't know where to get Nvidia&Intel Drivers from 😂

So the windows community would infinitely shame you for using Windows 7 because it has no more security updates. Also I heard you neither have support for DirectX12 nor optimization for SSD, So windows 7 isn't optimized for ex: gaming even though most repacks were released for it. I don't know anything about Win8.1 and my experience with Win8 isn't good, so I disregard them here.

So it is Windows 10 or Windows 11, but both are bloated with ads, telemetry, useless apps, processes and services (why do I have Cortana!?) and forces you to update. Win10&11 presented what is called "windows as a service" instead of "as a product", a policy which sucks for us users.

But I heard about Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, which has minimized telemetry and non of the annoying apps, I don't know about auto-updates though, but I heard it doesn't receive them often. I also learned that I better choose IoT version of the later for longer support (2032 vs 2027 for non-IoT LTSC). Now I have multiple choice of guides:

Downloading Microsoft's official copies, debloating and activating them:

1- the r/piracy guide which suggests these two files, which are both 2019 versions. But I'm happy to see the size is 3.78 GB, so I can burn the 64x on a DVD!

2- the r/WindowsLTSC Megathread which sites to this guide, which again suggests this friendly thread, and seems to be extensive and up-to-date. The friendly thread suggests tb.rg-adguard for downloading the iso. If you choose the options on this picture then according to the files.rg-adguard.net database you're downloading en-us_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_x64_dvd_8da72ab3.iso . Not Enterprise Edition, so I think we just disregard this particular part of the friendly thread and download from the pastebin in the Megathread.
--->cons: This is a bit extremely hard, especially since I'm on Linux rn.

3- Microsoft Activation Scripts developers also provide direct links to download , without the heavy guides. But will I be able to uninstall Microsoft Edge for example later? This one might be the easiest yet balanced route for now.

honorable mention: This Russian site, called nmclub, claims it offers 22H2 version of Windows 10 Enterprise IoT, but it is not LTSC I guess?

Modified Windows copies

1- Ghost Spectre Superlite which apparently doesn't have an official site, rather an official Youtube channel (which I linked) but it is constantly updated on the tech-latest.com website. the videos prove that the system supports android emulation well (I think, tbh I'm not considering this one, just included it cuz people who tried it speak positively about it)

2-Revi Os I heard it has an active Discord community and has a GUI tool that allow you to enable whatever you want,

3-Atlas OS (this one is open source and has a Github page and is said to give the best gaming performance and least resources usage, I'm really considering it!).

--->PS: as far as I understood, both Revi OS and Atlas OS are applicable on your installed win10/win11 using this open source project called ameliorated which itself had its' fixed Win10 1903 version.

4- Slimdown10: from the mydigitallife forum. The creator states:

The tool eradicates all cloud stuff, telemetry stuff, spying, tracking stuff, UWP bloatware, suggestions, ads, etc by removing them directly from DVD media (before installation, not after it). It also integrates latest updates and turns Windows Update into manual mode (no more forced updates). It is fully open source with no hidden stuff or blackbox features.

using Scripts

1- Win-Debloat-Tools Looks like the most maintained open source one out of them. Along with Sophia...

2- In this reddit comment, a user recommended to:

install Windows Enterprise or Pro, and use Sophia Script to remove the Bloatware that comes installed and use O&O ShutUp10 to disable the telemetry and spyware that is possible.
Because security updates are extremely ultra important when you are connected to internet.(?)

3- privatezilla: This one seems lightweight and easier to use, but not up-to-date, idk.

honorable mentions:

• This redditor from 2021 seems confident that the three tools he mentions, combined, fully remove telemetry?
• winutil: an open source supposedly "One Tool for Everything" as the title of the youtube guide by the developer says.

my plan:

• I will just download the r/piracy 64x ISO file,
• burn it on a 4.7GB DVD that I have (probably using ubuntu MATE's Disk Image Mounter) cuz I don't have a USB rn,
• Activate using MAS Tool,
• Download Drivers Manually,
• Maybe use either Win-Debloat-Tools or winutil if I feel deranged. ngl, they got me sold just by having gui and being open source

$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

This is in reference to a post titled Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.. The title is kind of self-explanatory and piracy was brought up in the comments. Someone mentioned GOG and Steam granting users indefinite licenses to users regardless of whether or not the game is still being sold.

While I could see that with GOG something tells me that's probably not the case with Steam but I can't find a specific quote to back it up. I can't seem to find an instance of them removing a game from someone's library even when a game was banned in a country like in the case of Disco Elysium and Rimworld being banned in Australia.

I couldn't see Valve removing games from people's libraries without a good reason due to the amount of backlash that would cause but maybe under specific circumstances they would.

On a similar note I was curious if anything in the terms and conditions talks about Steam emulators. There's a section it that says:

“… host or provide matchmaking services for the Content and Services or emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by Valve in any network feature of the Content and Services, through protocol emulation, tunneling, modifying or adding components to the Content and Services …”

But I am not sure if I am misunderstanding what it's trying to get across.

I looked through a majority of the Steam Subscriber Agreement but it can be a bit hard to decipher. There could also be comments from Valve staff elsewhere like on Twitter or Reddit that may at least shown their thoughts on the matter.

This might be a bit boring for a lot of people but I am curious about the DRM behind Steam. I feel like people have placed a lot of trust and money into Valve and Steam so I am curious about potential worst case scenarios.

Title is somewhat misleading. It's not for anything video-related. It's for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.

I found the site and tried to check, but it wouldn't show me anything without being logged in, so I created an account. Now that I'm signed in though, I can only find vague rules, like

The User's account is for personal use only. Only the individual who holds the account is allowed to connect on it. Connections to the User's account are recorded so that we can detect account sharing. The User agrees to keep his login secret, We won't offer technical support for account hacking.

How does this work with a phone or laptop, for example? What if I sign in at my parents house when I visit for a few days?

Can anyone help please?

Greetings. I am completely new to playing cracked games.

I recently installed GTA IV (Darck Repack).

The game runs fine but I can't get Social Club to work in order to save my game. When prompted to sign into my Social Club account, I hit yes but nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

I am looking for this article https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/das-klimageld-kann-die-akzeptanz-der-klimawende-nicht-erhoehen-19209438.html without a paywall. I checked archive.ph, searched for faz.net, checked what was available, and found nothing.

What is the correct approach?

EDIT: this is about the content of finding articles behind paywalls, not just about the content of just this specific article.

Guys I got no clue on how to pirate or stream on TVs.i know people do it with chromecast. Can smth like cloudstream be run on lg webos and similarly can I run youtube without ads whether that be through vanced or sponsorblock.

Appreciate any advice.

I've already been paying for YouTube Premium for many years to get rid of advertisement, and I've been using SponsorBlock for a year or so on my laptop to skip the inline ads, but because most of my watching of YouTube happens on the TV I always had to use the remote to skip it. It helps to see the "most rewind" area so you can fast forward to it, but it's still very cumbersome.

Now a couple of days someone mentioned SmartTube on Lemmy and I installed it on my Chromecast with Google TV OS and oh boy is this software great! I did it to get SponsorBlock, but that is by far not the only feature I love about it.

• flexible time hiding the UI of a video (have it to 1 sec now)
• not showing UI when pausing
• way faster scrolling
• instant loading
• way faster account switching
• instant voice search

But there is one feature missing, changing the search language. We speak combined 7 languages at home and it's impossible to search anything other than in English which is really annoying.

Anyway, check it out if you can on your TV.

AppleTV hardware now supports Tailscale, with exit nodes.

I am astonished that Apple allowed this blatant circumvention of region coding, but they did.

Get it while it’s hot, I guess.
