Some users are asking how to find private trackers .

Well, you can join this channel on Telegram that will inform when a private tracker becomes open to registration.

Here is the link: https://t.me/opensignup

Does anyone know if there is a scan of the core book / leviathan box book yet? I have the box but would prefer to have a digital version. Would be easier to share as well

I'll go straight to the point:

  • Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
  • Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
  • Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
  • Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
  • Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

Widevine bypass? (sh.itjust.works)

What's the current state to download widevine protected VOD right now? Is there anything I can use to bypass this? I remember in the past there's some key guesser extension but does not works anymore. Unless there's a new master key being leaked.

I never really hear about this in particular. Are there streaming sites that have it? Torrents?

3484
 
 

Hypothetically, one could be avidly seeding terabytes of files there, but is that the only place to do so at this point? Where else could one help the cause, and find rare and/or the latest sculpts?

As per title, I've been thinking, Tech has been seeing a downturn due to investor money divesting, perhaps that's part of the source of pressure for crackdowns on piracy, in addition to youtube restricting ad blockers, and other enshittification around other streaming media (whether it is behind reddit's enshittification is perhaps a different convo)

Hello! I recently built this Raycast extension that lets me browse and stream live TV in 720p@60fps or 1080p@30fps on VLC or IINA.

It includes more than 150 channels, a TV Guide, movie/show schedule, and a sports guide.

Also included are 24/7 re-runs of popular shows. I mean, guys, I can literally pull up the office in one key press from anywhere on my Mac, and it starts playing right in IINA player. The same goes for any sports game! I find myself using this extension more than any streaming service I pay for. Wanna look at the news real quick in the morning or right before a meeting? One key press and bam! I'm watching CNN or BBC. It's great!

This is obviously a biased review since I'm the developer, but I made this tool for myself initially. A couple of people, who looked over my shoulder, asked if they could use it too. So, I started to clean it up, get more computing resources behind it, and then I started to walk through some of my design decisions up to that point. After a few months of building while people used it and v.1.0 is finally live 🎉

It brings me so much joy, thought I'd share this tool with a few more people. Check out the website to learn more: https://saba.mintlify.app/

I haven't updated my music instrument library in years, especially since newer official software doesn't play well with pirated plugins. The last time I downloaded VSTs was 2012ish, back when PB and KAT were still good sources. Music technology (and the instruments people like to listen to) have taken a huge leap since then. I do mostly pop and jazz, so I've got East West, Session Horns, Session Strings, Broadway Big Band, Kontact, and a couple miscellaneous Native Instruments plugins. Does anyone know of production level VST sources for newer versions of these or better software?

All,

I've been deliberating over this ever since I got usenet and got access to easy downloads of 70-80gb 4k remuxes. At first I believed I was getting fake uploads or something, but it seems to be a pattern. The remuxes have extreme noise that's really distracting and actually discards some of the depth information of the scene.

on the other hand, the smaller 265/264 files appear to be smoothing out the noise, but also some texture detail. You can see from the comparison above.

Note that the noisy version is hdr10 and the non noisy version doesn't have hdr.

My question is, is that grain supposed to be so prominent? or is the scene releasing these remuxes pulling some shortcuts just to release a remux?

Is this noisy version how it's supposed to look? or did they fuck up the encoding? Don't flame me for not knowing. I'm hoping this can be a touchpoint for constructive conversation, and to help other confused mateys on the journey to visual bliss. Thank you

edit::

This resource helped me understand. Long story short, this is the intent of the director - potentially enhance the period piece aesthetics. I suppose if it looks as crisp and sharp as a movie filmed on the state of the art digital camera, some of the cold war aesthetic would be lost. I get it and I will watch it and enjoy the graininess as the director intended 😂

A couple things that confused me:

  1. I know sometimes scene groups take shortcuts and this can really affect quality. For example transcoding x264 to x265. Yes, some groups do this and it's of no use to anyone. My concern was that I may be downloading one of these releases.

  2. There are movies from 40-50 years ago with very little to no film grain noticeable. Many remuxes don't have that grain. I'm not big in the filmmaker scene, so I guess it was somewhat a surprise to learn that some filmmakers actually want that grain in there..

Thank you all for your input and I hope this thread can be of use to folks that have this same question. Cheers mateys, happy sharing :)

So, I've used different sites like soccerbite or nflbite but I spend half the game trying to find a stream that doesn't freeze every 5 seconds and require a browser reload. Is there anything as sophisticated as the *arr suite for live sports? I'm assuming an iptv set up is the solve but I don't know where to start looking there and if I can integrate it into my system or if it lives in isolation.

What is the best place to download Nintendo Switch ROMs?

Some time ago I gave up using sonarr & radarr to watch (popular) tv shows and movies because the search just stopped giving decent results. Now I heard that rarbg has also quit.

So I am wondering, is this still a thing?
