Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I thought about using OpenVPN for piracy, since it's open source and can be easily set up on Arch Linux. Does anyone know about the quality of it or if I should use another VPN?

Does anybody know of a way to use their IPTV service to watch together with friends besides screen sharing? I wanted to watch some sports with friends and I hate that when I use discord, there’s lots of frame drops and quality issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hlo I have a linux laptop (popos). I use lutris to launch my windows games. I have a pdp controller for xbox. It works great with steam and legit games but does not work with games i launch through lutris, no matter if pirated or legit. Lutris recognizes the controller in the wine control panel, it just does not work in games. Another controller, also pdp, but in a different color, works fine with lutris games. What is going on here? Can i fix this somehow?

There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:

• Cheap
• Quick & Easy Setup
• Run on any device (Exception for iOS but you can get around this with Stremio Web + VLC)
• Whole Movie + TV Shows catalog to browse. Seeing trending items is handy.

Only issue I have had is niche Movies or TV Shows just do not have a Real-Debrid entry to stream so I'll have to manually search, but this is rare.

NFL season starts in a couple weeks. How do yall stream NFL games? I've usually used buffstream in the past but I'm wondering if there's a better site/method.

I'm running my arr stack on Unraid. I set it up using a combination of Trash's guide and Ibracorp's video (linked in same article). Everything had been working well. I believe I made some changes to Qbittorrent's handling of completed torrents, but I honestly don't recall. I've learned my lesson in that regard and am carefully documenting my various self-hosting adventures now.

The issue is when either Radarr or Lidarr download something new, it creates a subfolder called Radarr or Lidarr, then has the new movie/album inside the applicable folder by itself. As a result none of the hardlinks or mover tasks work properly. Sonarr, on the other hand works fine. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could check or change to fix this? So far all my research shows complaints of either app creating its own subfolder per movie or album rather than a new folder named after the app.

Here's an example of radarr having it's own folder created after I deleted it, then queued up a new download. It makes a new 'radarr' folder and puts the finished download in it, instead of 'movies':

Normally I don't have much time to watch movies, and for the occasional one Netflix is good enough. But once a coupple of years there is a specific one I want to see which is not on Netflix.

Normally I can find it on ThePirateBay, but sometimes it's offline.

So my question is, how to get a movie like "Sing 2" in a easy way like I used on TPB now in 2023.

I want to watch ESPN+ shows

I have a full set of instruments on ps4 with at least a hundred songs of dlc. Is this something people do regularly?

I already had a cyberghost sub, but decided to try to switch to something better for seeding.

I have tested ProtonVPN and PIA, but ended up refunding PIA as the port forwarding didn't work once. ProtonVPN has worked maybe 5% of the time, and will likely be refunded as well.

Is there such a thing as a VPN that can consistently forward ports? I'm considering trying AirVPN next, but am hoping someone could confirm whether it works or not first. I'm also open to any other recommendations.

Thank you!

So I have a few 5TB external drives with all my media. I mainly just hook them up to my xbox and use kodi to play the files locally. I should probably be investing into a NAS or some sort of JBOD, but that's a whole other issue.

So no drive is backed up but they are all new (about 6 months old). Obviously, hdd drives can have mechanical failure, be a dud, or just plain suck. I do smart check and make sure the drive health is fine. I have been reading about bit rot and not sure if that is something I have to worry about and an immediate thing (or it's just some snake oil shit). I want to make sure the data stays readable and in best shape I can have it in for as long as possible. From the reading I have done surfin the web "refreshing" the data is usually done by rewriting the data. I guess what I am worried about is data corruption. With all this being on a HDD, mechanical failure is probably a bigger issue, and is something I should eventually get to with actual backups/parity. Drives are getting cheaper but I don't have the cash to drop right now on better/larger/enterprise (or NAS) drives to set all that up. I don't really want to re-download 20+ TB of stuff just to rewrite my data or shuffle data back and forth between my computer and the drive to rewrite. I could be going about this all wrong, so some pointer or input is helpful.

I use CrystalDiskInfo and HD Tune Pro to check drive health, but kinda just wanted to know if there are programs make help against data corruption, if it's even something that I should be immediately worried about, if I'm going about this in a dumb way, or if I should just start saving and work towards bulding a NAS, JBOD, ZFS or some shit. (if I'm honest all that shit seems out of my ballpark cause I like to just download and play, but it may be time to learn more about all that shit with regards to raid, parity, and having true backups)

tl;dr : I want to keep my shit for as long as possible on my HDDs. Back ups = good, but short of doing that, how to make sure data I currently have stays healthy on current drives?

The same question was archived on r/trackers. Would like to get notified when a compatible tracker is available for testing, it's not even clear if there is an implementation just yet.

The specs are here since 2017 https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0052.html
Compatible clients are available, at least qBittorrent (from v4.4.0) and BiglyBT.

In the UK, the broadcasting rights for tennis are moving from Amazon prime/discovery+ to sky-sports. The price is increasing from ~£6 a month to ~£35 p/m. I know there’s plenty of live streaming sites available to watch live matches, but when the tournaments are in the US or Australia the time difference doesn’t work. Are there any sites that allow you to watch tennis matches on demand?

I was able to get rid of ads and verification but it gives me an error when trying to buy Sync premium after the general (non custom) patch has been applied.

Might be a bit niche but has anyone found any good sites for davinci resolve presets / plugins?

Can only seem to find Adobe related stuff.

MotionVFX presets would be excellent

I wanted to download a book that is no longer in print, but I discovered LibGen is down on the .onion and on the .fun domain, the .rs domain gives some scary warning message from my router about child pornography. What happened, is my dear LibGen gone?

Hi,

I have a playlist with around 5000 songs. What is the best way for me to migrate from Spotify so I can actually have them, unencrypted, on a physical device. I am tired of songs being taken out of my playlist due to licensing issues.
