Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

it would be great if the downloader isnt command line based and can list all the VODs of the channel at once after typing in the channel username/ link (but not too necessary). TYSM <3

P.S - I don't wanna watch but directly download the VOD (i am aware of the TwitchNoSub extension)

Some of us take it to our hearts to remember one of the most influential hacktivists <3

For that matter, I'd like to share a documentary about him: https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz

You can also get to know his legacy by reading the short Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto, available here: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL25421460M/Guerilla_Open_Access_Manifesto

Not looking for anything in specific, I just feel like chatting about piracy in general.

Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For instance, these domains included books in Tamil, Mongolian, Catalan, Urdu, Pashto, and other languages:

afrikaans-books.org

bengali-books.org

urdu-books.org

marathi-books.org

chamorro-books.org

Over the 15 years of the project's existence, we've managed to collect an impressive collection of rare texts in many uncommon languages. These domains featured many unique texts that can't be found anywhere else, including rare books, documents, and manuscripts. All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.

Z-Library also states in the blog post that they did not lose the files, just the domains.

I wanted a simple app for downloading youtube playlists but I couldn't find one so I made one. There is still lots I want to do with it but for now it does everything I need.

If piracy is moral and ethical and enables us to share knowledge, why do private trackers gatekeep this knowledge? It goes against the principles of piracy. Do they do it just to feel superior about bring in a sekrit club?

I'm posting here because I assume a lot of you use vpns and this sub seems to have the most users to ask.

I was thinking about getting a VPN but was wondering about port forwarding.

I'm a Linux head so I would be downloading distros via torrent. If the VPN does not support port forwarding is it still possible to use for Linux torrents? I'm not going to be "seeding" media and extreme amounts of data, but the device would always be on and torrenting. In this case does port forwarding matter?

I guess I don't really understand dynamic and static port forwarding.

For my use case would mullvad or protonvon work even though they both use dynamic port forwarding? Or do I have to find one with static ports...?

This VPN would be used on a server with docker...

The other one I was looking at was airvpn, which is static, but I also read it might become more popular for people that use it for... Whatever... since mullvad stopped static ports.

Are there work around for dynamic ports? In case I ever want to host a website in the future?

Just like hackers need an black hoodie. And where can I get one? Is a simple costume one enough or do I need an expensive one?

Sry I'm new here.

As the time passes more and more it seems that the popularity of Pirates is decreasing, I was a teenager in 2010s and invested a lot of my time learning Torrents, Pirated Game websites, identifying good sites, educating others about piracy, etc. But it seems with the recent crackdowns and trends I feel there might come a time when I would struggle to get content I like from pirated sources.

I am quite technically gifted person, have been a Linux poweruser for years and have software development experience.

I would like to contribute to scene, and looking to start with Streaming services. Have done my research regarding the DRMs and how these services utilizes browser codecs to decrypt streams but didn't have succes on my own.

Do anyone know anything regarding the ripping scene and introduce me to it?

Hello.

Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?

I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?

Are these waters safe or should I take precautions even in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea?

Was working to check some filter exclusions in qB (not possible yet) and noticed this...

Hello everyone, I'm tired of having to go bavk to my search results 4 timesnbecause eveyrtime that I search for a news article every single website I get on won't let mr read it without either subscribing/logging in, how can I hidethese websites from the results OR How do you guys look up news articles, an app or smt?

btw im on the phone :)

Hey folks,

Having some problems with Real Debrid right now. Every time I try to add a torrent, it hits me with a 504 Gateway Timeout.

I use Stremio + Torrentio and the torrents that are cached show up but can't play anything at the moment.

The weird part is, if you somehow manage to sneak a new torrent into Real Debrid, their player works like a charm.

Is this happening to you too?, or is it just me?

Thanks!

EDIT: The RD player seems to have issues as well, it just froze and won't continue playing for me.

EDIT 2: Seems to be working fine again.

I used to use thepiratebay.org, but recently it seems the quality of the site has degraded.

I sometimes also use 1337xx.to , but that site seems to have a very small selection.

Note that I couldn't find an answer to this question in the wiki + meathread, so if the answer is already there, please direct my attention to it 🙏🏴‍☠️

I am editing a page on a wiki, and I don't want to accidentally publish misinformation.

I know of empress, but is there anyone else releasing cracked Denuvo games?

RIP CODEX

Edit: Denuvo not Denvuo

I was trying to give pointers to people in comments but it seems whenever I wrote uBlock Origin, "u B lock", SponsorBlock or "S p onSor Block" (without quotes) the comment would vanish within first minute.

Is this happening only to me/on this one specific video (in Czech, don't want to link because I don't agree with the points they said, though it was video about the adblock blocking of YT)?

I frequently listen to electronic music programs that typically play tracks that musical identifiers (like Shazam or AHA) fail to recognise.

The DJ is also not a great help because they'll back announce multiple tracks that are also hard to recognise or pinpoint. My main concern, though, is that I'll often hear a track that I'm not likely to hear again or may forget by the time it's officially available and/or recognisable.

So my question is: is it possible to rip a single track from a long stream for future reference (so Shazam will eventually recognise it or we can play it at our own leisure)?

I really like a techno track from the following stream: https://www.mixcloud.com/KissFM/the-beautiful-drive-09-nov-2023/

It starts playing at the 13 minute and 46 second mark and was hoping to be able to isolate it (if possible). I was also hoping to be able to isolate any other tracks I might encounter in any other streams heard online (when failing to recognise it).

Alternatively, if you can make sense of what the DJ says around the 36 minute mark I'd really appreciate the clarification :) !

thanks

I was wondering where you can download modern arcade games from use with TeknoParrot I am looking for the arcade version of taiko no tatsujin

Thanks

Hey, so I had a gluetun container running with docker and a NordVPN Wireguard setup. It was working for months and all of a sudden I want to say in October, it just stopped working and I have no way to get my Wireguard info from Nord.

Has anybody else faced this issue?

[Resolved, thanks!]

Weird, but I just got two copyright notices from my ISP. I always use a paid VPN (Proton). How'd they see me?

I did accidentally open qBitTorrent before connecting to the VPN yesterday, but immediately exited the program before anything loaded. Is that enough time to get two strikes? One was for seeding TNG S03 and the other for TNG S05 lol.

What confuses me is that that happened yesterday, but the email lists the day prior as the time of offense.

So I guess it's time to set up a kill switch or make sure the qBitTorrent wont open without Proton connected. If anyone has a guide for that send a link my way.... thanks.

Hello Sailors,

So sadly my family still insists on using Netflix(for now), and with their recent restrictions you can only have one active TV at the time, unless the TVs are in the same home. So this had me question, what happens if all TVs are put on the same tailnet(or same subnet for that sake), would that be able to "trick" the netflix system? Has anyone tried this? Or do we already know that it wouldnt work?

(I am working on setting up the full arr stack)
