Hi.

Are there any good app mod sites for stuff like infinite money and such for apps

Share your all-time upload & all-time download ratio. Let's find out who is the winner! 😇

Can anyone provide some hints where to find this game (if it's not against the rules)? I have the original version, but the 2015 updated version has controller support which is what I want. I bought it on Steam, but I like to own my games so I can install and play offline anytime I want.

Ive always noticed some suspicious profiles on private trackers, where they have enormous ratio stats even though they don't belong to a VIP tier/class. How do they achieve this? Do they use softwares like greedytorrents or ratioghost? If yes how do they go undetectable by the mods? I've been looking up some remote forums from (sb-innovations.de) where there's literally a group discussion on this.

Been trying to determine the best way to download a full collection (no download button on the collection, but on each set of files there is).

DatPiff just dumped their entire library of mix tapes and wanted to grab them all. There are thousands of files, so I was trying to find the best way to handle this?

Is there a way to automatically locally save Spotify music as I listen to it? Or to access/convert the files that Spotify saves for offline playback?

I have been seeding torrents through utorrent (on windows) with no issues. But through this community's megathreads, I came across using qBittorrent, which seems more flexible and configurable.

But I'm having an issue seeding torrents over my favourite private trackers though. I'm on Linux, and no matter what I do, it flags an orange sign and hovering over it says "there is a configuration issue". The DHT number is non zero, and I'm currently trying to seed on two trackers.

Can someone share a guide on qbittorrent on how to properly configure it. Or a place (IRC, Matrix) where they could assist me? I've search online but haven't been lucky so far.

As a last resort, if there is a good alternative too, I'm ready to switch.

EDIT: thanks to everyone for comments and helping me out resolving this issue.

I'm looking for an old episode of Jeremy Kyle. It was aired around 2009-2010 I think but am struggling to find any episodes from those years bar a few on the internet archive/youtube.

It's difficult to say which one (as they weren't exactly given a title) and exactly when it aired. But any niche website that would have something like this?

Not necessarily piracy, but in thought this may be the best place to ask since you guys have some knowledge of niche places for other things

Most of you are familiar with iknowwhatyoudownload, the site in which by knowing someone's IP address you can see what were they downloading. Unfortunately it only shows torrents which were added to its database.

I have a peer with static IP address, is there any tools to extract what he/she was downloading?

I wanna do it for good purposes, the peer has very valuable files I want to help being seeded, but unfortunately it is the original creator which decided to delete some of them, because their size is too big (200gb+), I want to track his activity, so maybe he could leave a comment in a tracker where I could contact him.

I've got a Vero 4K to watch photos stored on my NAS. It is a couple of years old and it seems to be dying.

My requirements are:

  • Watch videos stored on NAS via NFS/SMB
  • Install Stremio
  • 4K
  • Available in NZ
  • Sound doesn't matter too much as I have a simple sound bar.

The Google TV 4K is sold here for NZ$79 and gets raving reviews. It seems I can install Stremio and VLC or Kodi, so that should meet my requirements.

The alternative is a Xiami TV Stick 4K which is NZ$69

I know the NVidia Shield is the best, but they are above budget.

Probably my only concern with these dongles is that they are WiFi based, but I have a very solid WiFi network with an Ubiquiti access point, so that should be fine.

So I'm leaning towards the Google TV 4K, any concerns or considerations?

I have a few videos I ripped from CDs that I'm loading onto a personal plex server, but all of them use the type of subtitles that will force the video to transcode.

Is there an easy place for finding .srt files? I figured this community would know...

I'm trying to download whole albums from Soundcloud using yt-dlp but they come without the metadata (artist, album, year) even when used with --embed-metadata.

I've tried searching but all the posts I can find talk about Youtube videos' metadata.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

I'm buying a libre computer (le potato) and using it to set up my first pi-hole. I'm very new to this kind of tinkering, so bare with me. I'm hoping to use just one le potato as both my pi-hole and a media center to run Kodi. Is this even possible for one, and two is Kodi what I should be using for pirating hard to access content? Without a VPN? Or is there a better solution available?

Hey folks, I know we like encoding urls with base64 to keep the automated bots off our hindquarters, I figured out a neat little trick. As I'm sure you are aware, you can share a torrent with the infohash only, without the need to have all the formatting of a magnet link.

The infohash is a 20 byte string represented with hexadecimal, and can be stored as both its ascii string or as just bytes. The interesting thing about base64 is that not only can it be used to encode an ascii string, it can also be used to encode bytes.

As an example, I'm going to use an archive.org torrent, using cryptii.com as the translator, since it allows me to encode bytes. So, we start with our infohash 62ae55f2329e29f79a8d1ed245c84818b5cf84e9 and we're going to set cryptii to encode to base64, with our input view set to bytes grouped by 'none'. Out of this, we get Yq5V8jKeKfeajR7SRchIGLXPhOk= Simply mirror the process for decoding.

This produces a base64 string which is actually shorter than the original infohash! This process always seems to produce the = at the end, which does make this unmistakably base64, but if encoded with the base64url standard this will disappear.

I thought this would probably be useful for the future when infohashes get shared on here, just in case automated bots start looking for infohash sized hexadecimal length strings.

Hey there, dear community, I migrated here from reddit. I wanted to dabble in piracy (Udemy and Art-Courses) for a while, but never knew how to start + a VPN is quite pricey if I don‘t use it/ use it incorrectly.

I wanted to know if there are „beginner tutorials“ for MacOS (I‘m even new in this OS).

I read the Megathread and it was kinda helpful for me not to barge in blindly, but I‘m the kind of person who needs a little handholding

Got the program installed and moved a dll file to where I believe it goes but am still getting asked to login, which when I click it, takes me to their site and doesn't ask me about using an offline installation method. Someone suggested I change the "login" files name to "application" and try again and it's still behaving the same way. Sometimes clicking that file a lot brings up a black prompt looking screen that I can't figure out what to do with. Is there somewhere I should put this file?

I've tried two different downloads of this same program and am running into the same shit.

Thanks for any help.

Do you just delete it in /opt and /var/lib?

Title basically. Where is the best place to watch either HD highlights or ideally live?

cross-posted from: https://zemmy.cc/post/25499

You may have seen my previous post over here, after I had just gotten everything setup initially.

I've now expanded this with an additional script, a github repo, and proper documentation.

Here's a cleaner explanation:

I've taken on the challenge of self-hosting more of the services I regularly depend on. The latest target is Spotify. This meant I needed a simple and convenient way to listen to my music from anywhere, get new music into my collection, and also still receive recommendations based on my interests and listening habits.

I now have what I think is the pretty ideal setup, here's what it includes:

  • A 24/7 radio station that plays my entire catalog (link here if you're interested). This is powered by Azuracast along with the scripts in the repo. The station link is using the Public Pages feature in Azuracast with a bunch of custom CSS.

  • A Spotify-like experience that also supports mobile and offline. This is powered by Navidrome for web/desktop and Substreamer for mobile. Substreamer connects to Navidrome using the Subsonic API.

  • A couple of scripts that allow me to easily download tracks/albums/playlists from Spotify and Youtube. I used these to bootstrap the collection and export my existing playlists from each service.

  • A couple of scripts that automatically grab my latest recommendations from Spotify and LastFM, add them into Navidrome, and provide me a nearly fully automated way to parse out tracks I want to keep permanently.

That last point is the most interesting part in my opinion. Both scripts run on a weekly cron job that downloads my Discover Weekly playlist from spotify, and current recommendations from LastFM. It then creates a playlist for each source for that weeks collection and moves it into Navidrome.

I then browse that weeks playlist at my leisure, using the "star" feature in Navidrome to decide what to keep. Once I'm done I run another script manually that takes all of the starred tracks from those two playlists and moves them into my catalog, and then deletes the remaining tracks and the playlists.

This means I just need to go through and listen to recommendations and click a button on what to keep, and the rest is discarded automatically. It really doesn't get any simpler than this!

What remains will then be available for on-demand playback through Navidrome and also added to the full catalog that powers the 24/7 radio station.

FAQs from the last thread

What is being used to download from X? - spotdl is being used for Spotify.pytube is being used for LastFM and Youtube. spotdl is also just downloading tracks from Youtube under the hood.

What is the audio quality of the downloaded tracks? - Since these are coming from Youtube, everything is a 128kbps VBR Opus codec. It's certainly not FLAC but it's good enough for my enjoyment.

As the video game industry is approaching the norm of expensive games, I would like to save my money while still being able to play these games.

Hi, I was wondering how they do this and if there is a way to "cheat" the amount of data you are downloading or seeding.

i am always on the lookout for non english NEWer ebooks.

after the raids and shut downs some years ago the sources are spare especially for german ones.

i know you can find old stuff on gutenberg, libgenesis (can't remember the full name) & co and surprisingly ibooks is still there but thats it.

of course some usenet boards but few and all the same stuff. their content usually finds its way to some torrent sites but few and late.

so, any recommendations?

I've read that ~~Wavevine~~ Widevine L3 has been hacked and so all the DRM streaming using it can be decrypted, but I couldn't find how. Where do I find the URLs and the keys? In an article they also said that it's possible to create a personal IPTV server that serves the channel still directly form the provider CDN. Has anybody any clue about this?

RARBG shutting down left a huge hole for me and I can’t figure out what’s a good alternative for it other than 1337. Any suggestions?
