Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I'm pretty new to the scene and am trying to build up a content library for a jellyfin instance I'm running. I know a lot of the higher quality torrents are on private trackers so im intested in joining one but the ones ive found seem pretty closed. Even the ones with open sign-ups seen to want proof of my reputation with other traskers, so I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to start out. Are there any trackers I should look into?

I'm looking for a reliable source of theatre scripts for musicals and plays. Any specialist IRC channels or the like?

Hey everyone, I recently acquired the 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83. However, the 4k80 one looks grainy. 77 and 83 look clear in comparison. Did I just get a bad copy, or does 4k80 have issues?

Transmission is just giving me more and more problems. Anyone have any recommendations?

So, sometimes me and the wife, uh hang out and stuff... and this was kind of our go to. But with https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/issues/15723 - all that was removed. I found some of the channels - https://adultiptv.net/ but it's kinda a sketchy site and the channels they provide are like a 3 minute clip and a 10 minute advert... not ideal and immersion breaking lol.

I tried searching github but I didn't find anything recent. Any suggestions/solutions?

Hello everyone! Summer is coming soon which means the Isle of Man TT and in addition to that the other major event that interests me is the MotoGP which has already started. I would like to watch these live, but I can't find any streams for the life of me by the usual methods (search engine, piracy streaming sites).

How does one find such streams normally? There must be someone pirating them and broadcasting live on the internet, right?

Thanks in advance!!!

Basically I want to pirate android games that are mainly on google play, I'd get the switch ports but I doubt they'd run well

So, where do I pirate android games safely? Also what about switch games?

Thx

[HOWTO] Install Arkham Asylum GOTY in Steam deck

Steps below assume you are in desktop mode.

1. Download a copy from web archive

• https://archive.org SLASH details SLASH batman-arkham-asylum-game-of-the-year-edition

2. After extracting files, add BmLauncher.exe found in Binaries folder as a non-steam game
3. Hit play button so it will generate files in steam's compatdata directory. Additonal files are required to install so just stop the game.
4. In Steam, edit BmLauncher.exe by selecting Properties > Target > Browse > navigate to _Redist folder and select vcredist_x86.exe

• example: /home/deck/Games/Batman Arkham Asylum - Game of the Year Edition/_Redist/vcredist_x86.exe

5. Hit play button to run and install vcredist which is for Visual C++ libraries
6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 to install the other required libraries which are also under _Redist folder:

• /home/deck/Games/Batman Arkham Asylum - Game of the Year Edition/_Redist/PhysX_9.08.14_9.09.0814_SystemSoftware.exe
• /home/deck/Games/Batman Arkham Asylum - Game of the Year Edition/_Redist/DirectX/DXSETUP.exe

7. Once done, install protontricks to add d3dcompiler_47:

# run commands via terminal
flatpak install com.github.Matoking.protontricks
flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks <game-id> d3dcompiler_47

The <game-id> can be found in /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/ directory. Usually the game you just added in steam will be the first directory when browsing it through Dolphin:

• navigate to this folder > right-click > select Sort By - Modified Newest First.

8. Repeat step 4 to add BmLauncher.exe back as the Target
9. Make sure to force Steam Play compatability to Proton-GE. Latest version (GE-Proton9-1) works fine on this game.
10. Hit play and enjoy.

I'm in my first month of Usenet. I own several popular BluRay Movies but thought I'd save time ripping them manually and instead see what I could get off Usenet (NZBGeek + Eweka) now that my niece is visiting and needs entertainment.

I noticed a number of popular titles are consistently difficult to obtain ("aborted, cannot be completed"), even when live within only a few days, or even hours.

I assume this is a very vigilant DMCA takedown bot. How commonplace is this? And why does it only apply to some titles and not others?

Is it worth continuing with Usenet? I thought paying for content would ensure a certain "quality" of experience. So far, I'm a bit disappointed.

Setup:

Debian running podman. Containers and compose files are managed with Dockge. qBit and Gluetun are on a single compose file and all qBit traffic is routed through Gluetun.

qBit seems to starts first before Gluetun is fully set up and qBit doesn't see the open port. Every time I start them together, I have to manually restart qBit again once Gluetun is ready. Once it's restarted, it shows as open and connected again.

I tried looking for ways to delay startup in a compose file but I didn't get any results.

Is there a solution to this?

Hello sailors,

I wanted to try out Arr* and installed and configured everything for the first few days (Native, Arch). Just tinkering around.

Radarr and Sonarr used qbittorrent at first, but the permissions gave me trouble. I installed qbittorrent-nox and run it via systemd for a different user. This fixed my permission troubles.

However, even though both run with the same settings, nox is firewalled (DHT: 0 nodes, stuck on getting the metadata) while the regular version shows online and downloads with good speeds.

I use MullvadVPN (doesn't offer Port Forwarding anymore). I opened a port in my router.

I'm pretty new to this. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Do I have to add something to the systemd service?

Any hints wouldbe appreciated! Thanks for reading!

systemd service:

[Unit]
Description=qBittorrent-nox service
Documentation=man:qbittorrent-nox(1)
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=exec
User=qbittorrent-nox
group=arr
ExecStart=/usr/bin/qbittorrent-nox -webui-port=8080

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The last time I tried emulation on a desktop PC, whether it was Windows or Linux, I had to install each emulator separately. It was a bit of a mess.

On my Steam Deck, Emudeck made it stupid easy. Retroarch wasn't terrible, but was a bit more irritating and buggy for me to get working. Either way, it had a bunch of emulators all in one spot so I didn't have to go hunting for a ton of them. Are there solutions like this for Linux as well now? What about for Windows or something like a RetroPIE?

I just want to download an Oblivion mod but honestly I don't want to create an account there just for one mod and both temporary mails like 10 Minutes Mail and forward email services like Addy are detected as invalid mails.

I also tried searching for userscripts that bypass the account requirement to download mods, but as expected, there were none.

Maybe there is some kind of repository where these mods are archived?

I remember back in the day the emulator Snes9x was one of the best emulators for Super Nintendo emulation, but it's not on the Megathread. Is it no longer trustworthy or was it just missed?

Sorry if this was already asked in this community. I would've searched but Lemmy (or at least my Lemmy instance, I suppose) doesn't seem to have a search function for intra-Community searching.

Cheers.

Anyone know what happened to movie-web?

I always wondered why hardlinks in radarr/ sonarr and qbittorrent didn't work for me. I think the problem was that I mapped the directories as below:

    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./downloads:/downloads
      - ./movies:/movies

whereas I should've mapped them as:

    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./media:/media 
      - ./media/downloads:/media/downloads
      - ./media/movies:/media/movies

Now, how do I replace all the duplicate files in /downloads with the links?

Hello,

as the title states, i am looking for some IMAX movies (particulary tenet, oppenheimer and the dune movies) in their original aspect ratio (1:1.43, not 1:1.78). They aren't availible on blu ray, only in the DCPs. There's one guy on reddit claiming to have the files, but the other users were rather doubtfull. Do any of you know if and where such files exist?

Title says it all

In the past I've chosen I've often kept AC3 audio tracks thinking that their substantially higher bitrates made them better than the AAC tracks I compared them to. As I've since learned that AAC can be comparable to AC3 at a substantially lower bitrate, to have a means of comparing the two codecs, what would the AAC-equivalent bitrates be for 224kbps and 640kbps AC3?
