Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Recently my NAS took some physical damage and the HDDs are not too happy about it. Most of my video files are partially corrupted. Meaning, they report some errors when checked with ffmpeg[^1], and when you watch them they'll sometimes freeze or skip a few seconds, but they're not so corrupt they won't play. So, the vast majority of the file is fine. I'd prefer to avoid re-downloading all of my media when such a small fraction of the total file is damaged.

Is there any way to only download chunks of the file that have errors?

In the mean time, I can repack and ignore errors[^2] so that the freezing/pausing stops during playback, but it'll still skip parts or otherwise act up.

[^1]: ffmpeg -v error -i $vidfile -map 0:1 -f null - [^2]: ffmpeg -i $vidfile -c copy $newvidfile

Now you can find the same 4K video from few GBs to a hundred GBs, and I am wondering: where to stop? With music there is a similar phenomenon by which after a certain bitrate it becomes an esoteric art to detect improvements. So, what is your "very good enough" bitrate for 4K videos?

In response to plenty of Italians opting to pirate Football (Soccer) matches, and so deny the government taxes on overpriced stadium food, drinks, and the like, the Italian government is making it so they can "order service providers, including network access providers, to disable access to content distributed illegally online, by 'blocking the resolution of domain names using the domain name system (DNS) and blocking the routing of network traffic to IP addresses uniquely intended for illicit activities.'"

Hey everyone, today I sadly woke up to a distressing email by my provider, telling me that "Waves Audio Ltd" (http://waves.com) sent them a takedown request about a guide posted to crack their app. This is complete bullshit of course, but the provider threatened to shut off my whole IP address. For now I've taken down the post, but I've also initiated measures to avoid this in the future.

As such, we've now moved this site to be hosted by njal.la which is privacy focused and has a ton of experience handling such issues. Let me know if you notice anything weird during the transition period.

However they are significantly more expensive! As such I've had to adjust our server costs for the next 6 months, and therefore our Ko-fi goal has been re-opened. Please consider donating to ensure this site can survive these particular gray waters we're sailing.

I aim to ensure we are strictly legal, but these companies do not care about the law because they have enough money to bully people.

Remember, do not post direct links and use base64 encoding for any potentially spicy links you post!

I just got into usenet and some of the files downloaded are ISOs. I’m trying to figure out the best way to convert them to mp4s so that I can play them through plex. I’m running on a headless arch server (Manjaro), and I’d prefer to keep the conversion there if possible.

Anyone have experience with this?

I hate to ask but there way too many subscription services and I don’t have the means to watch the World Cup. Are there any places out there where I can stream it?

So it is convenient and all to use chatGPT from open AI site and to use other AI models on their official sites, but doesn't feel like a pirate when doing this am I wrong? like OpenAI staff spying on my discussion with my waifu persona I given to ChatGPT, or Midjourney creators knowing about every picture of John Oliver I created with their discord bot, Also you are only allowed to use chatGPT 3.5 and need to pay for GPT 4 (20$ a month for a limited use wtf) so are there any islands where the pirate can do what he does comfortably?

there are Telegram bots. Also Quora suggests multiple AI models on https://poe.com/ . but I'm curious if there exists some compilation of pirated useful AI tools

EDIT: Thank you everyone from inside and outside this instance.

I recently decided to start taking on the challenge of selfhosting and curating my music collection. I originally started looking at Lidarr as I am already a big fan of Radarr and Sonarr, but it wasn't really what I was looking for. I'm not often seeking out full albums, and am more often finding my music by listening to single tracks from Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist. I needed a solution that would let me replicate this experience while hosting my own MP3's and ideally be entirely automated.

I currently have the following setup running on a VPS:

• Azuracast - This provides me a streaming radio station that cycles through my entire library 24/7
• Navidrome - This fills the gap of the Spotify-like interface where I can play specific tracks, albums, or playlists

I bootstrapped my library with a Python script that parsed a list of Spotify URL's and downloaded all of the tracks with the spotdl library. This allowed me to grab my liked tracks, the playlists I had created, as well as a large number of albums I wanted.

I then used ChatGPT to write two python scripts:

• The first script runs using cron every Monday and uses SpotDL to grab the contents of my Discover Weekly playlist from Spotify. It puts all of the files into a folder with that weeks date and also creates a playlist file. This way I can easily browse that weeks playlist in Navidrome and decide what to keep. It also sends me an email on completion/error

• The second script is a bit more complex. This one does the same end result but for all of my LastFM reccomendations. This is done by spinning up a headless Chrome browser with Selenium in a docker container. It then logs into my LastFM account, parses each reccomendation, and then uses pytube to download the video links, since LastFM just directly links to Youtube videos. This list should change as I continue scrobbling via Navidrome and other sources, but I still need to determine how often the cron job should run.

My next step is figuring out how to connect to Azuracast/Navidrome using the many subsonic compatible clients so I can have mobile playback and things like offline playback. I'm currently looking at substreamer for Android.

I'd also like to look into a more seamless way of picking out the tracks I want to keep and discard from the playlists in Navidrome. I'm considering writing something to check its SQL database for liked tracks in each playlist and automatically move those into the main folder/playlist that Azuracast is playing from.

This whole setup took me only a couple days to create, and largely relied on ChatGPT to write the scripts and dockerfiles. I'm a capable programmer but GPT-4 is absolutely OP if you know what you're trying to accomplish and how to debug its mistakes. That Selenium script only took me an hour from idea to completion and I never modified the code by hand, only prompted it for corrections/additions.

If anyone is interested I've uploaded all the scripts to a gist, you just need to go through and update with your credentials/URLs

Hey mateys!

I made a post at /c/libertarianism about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting.

Please answer in the other community so that all the knowledge is in one place and easier to discover.

As a long time Sailer of the seas, I have decided to automate my collection and just started looking into source lists, trakt.

My question, who are some of the top providers for their lists on trakt? I would like to subscribe and follow some of them who are creating the best lists to add to my collection.

Hello, I'm an advanced private tracker user and datahoarder, I'm looking for a snahp invite for years. I know that snahp removed invites (using donations) recently, is it true?

Do you know any way to get invited (I could help since I'm a datahoarder)?

You can also send me private messages if you want

Can someone give me a hint on where to find a cracked version of bitwig studio for arch? I've been looking for a while and I could only find a .deb, I tried some method to install .deb on arch but im not yet an expert and I couldn't get it to work, thanks in advance

Running Truecharts Radarr on TrueNAS SCALE. Giving me this error.

Test was aborted due to an error: Unable to connect to SABnzbd, Connection refused (localhost:8080)

I've tried enabling https in SAB, enabling SSL in both Radarr and SAB, I've also tried switching certification validation in Radarr.

TrueNAS Version: TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.2

Radarr Version: 4.6.4.7568_16.0.22

SABnzbd Version: 4.0.3 [9fafe64]

EDIT: GOT IT WORKING. I had SABnzbd running on my computer while I was trying to connect to my server, so I probably had to do some weird network rework to get that setup working but that is out of my skill range. THE FIX: All I did was install SABnzbd onto TrueNAS using Truecharts

What other programs if any is the best?

I have been searching for a concrete book for a long time and finally saw it's been offered as an epub loan on my local library, which uses LCP DRM (Thorium Reader or something like that).

The code to remove it was itself removed from the DeDRM calibre plugin because of DMCA, but then there's https://www.notabug.org/uhuxybim/DeDRM_tools-LCP, a fork that adds it back. The thing is: I can't get it to work. I've tried older versions of calibre as seen on obscure italian threads about this fork.

I've tried running it in debug mode to see where it's not working and it seems like it fails to detect that this concrete epub i'm providing has DRM and it just adds it to the calibre library as-is.

Before I dive into the code and try to extract the relevant bits to a simpler CLI utility, does anybody know how to make this work?

Hello guys, can someone help me, where do you watch the ufc events, I'm looking for a stream with good quality for tonight but I haven't heard of any.

For the third week both Marvel and DC comics are released in SD quality, with no true HD resolution is sight (upscaling is meh). This has happened before, but never for this long.

Because it's both Marvel and DC it's unlikely it has something to do with their DRM. Also, there appears to be a new releaser "Li'l-Empire".

Does anyone know what's up?
