Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Everyone calling out Denuvo for being a laggy mess, rejoice! Denuvo is being hurt bad the bad PR enough to launch a full on propaganda war. One such weapon in their arsenal: Giving "trusted" outlets access to both the unDRM and the DRM copies of the game.

Now for anyone who knows game's journalism, you do not bite the hand that feeds you. Your income revolves around being one of the first to the punch when it comes to a review and the only way to be first is to ensure studios like you enough to give you early access copies.

Does anyone here think these outlets are going to say that Denuvo is slow? Not if they ever want that kind of access again! "Trusted" is right. "Trusted" to be in Denuvo's pocket.

After a lengthy $10,000,000 lawsuit, TorGuard has conceded to movie studios and is now banning BitTorrent traffic and is now keeping logs on American users and servers.

I'm struggling to find a torrent site with popular japanese movies with Thaï subs.. it's specifically for 'Dr.Chocolate'.. any idea ? Thanks

Hi all,

Was wondering if there are any users of Soggfy on here that has experience with how their file naming works more intricatly and could give me some tips.

With the default settings I used to test that it was functioning correctly it created a folder with the artist name and then placed the ripped files within that folder, however the default wasn't quite what I wanted in terms of information and order of that information.

It has the operators you can use to get different information but ever since I changed it up I have had to fight it to get the output I wanted. Looking at the default in the podcasts section it looked like I could use / to break up the information but using this kept getting me errors in the ripping process. Using a hyphon between the artist and album name seemed to work and output correctly however putting one between the track name and artist caused an error.

I have managed to find a setup that just about gives me what I wanted even though it isn't exactly as I would I like it will suffice however ever since the first test run I did it no longer creates a folder for that artist and just slaps them all in the same folder.

Does anyone with more experience of this have any tips for getting more control over the output files? How do I make it create folders again?

I can work with what I have and it is fine but it just adds a layer of organisation post rip that I obviously dont need to do.

What are some solid sites where I can source all of my audio books? Similar to what we have Anna's archives and zlib for books, pdf .etc

There are two kinds of colours that appear in each torrent entry in Nyaa's listings:

• One for the rectangle in the "Category" column. I see many different colours there: purple, red, dark and light grey, green, orange, dark and light yellow...

• One for the whole row. Here I've only seen three different colours so far: white, green, red.

Do these colours, especially the second, mean anything?

Nyaa's Help page mentions the meaning of four "torrent colours": green, red, orange, grey. But they don't say where these colours appear. If they mean the row colour, then I've never seen an orange or grey one. So I'm very confused. Maybe the Help page is outdated?

OK, not a life-or-death matter, but I've been curious about this for a long time...

Hello community, looking for your wisdom, I need a tool / addon / script / whatever free that works for windows to download videos from i.e. netflix or prime video. ty!

I've used the megathread to make a super basic proof-of-concept for my own streaming setup, and I'm not sure where to prioritize upgrading first and in what way. Any help is appreciated!

Current setup: I got a subscription to a VPN, so I figure I'll use that until it runs out. I have that with my main PC (a laptop, I haven't been able to save for a proper gaming PC yet), a torrent client, and Plex. I tested it out with one TV show and one movie with the Plex app on my TCL Series 4 Roku TV and it seems to work! The video and audio quality work even better when I turn my VPN off and it can tell my server is "nearby", but whatever.

Possible Improvements I've Seen People Talk About: I figure I should split off some of these services from my main laptop. I don't really want to keep it on 24/7, and I should save the room on it for games and other projects. I'll put things I've seen people talk about below, but not sure what order to do stuff to make the best Netflix replacement.

• I can buy another smaller machine or two I can use as a server. Not sure whether to put the torrent parts on it, so it can torrent while I'm at work and stuff, make it host the Plex server, or both. And even then, I'm not sure whether to use an NAS, raspberry pi, NUC, Nvidia Shield TV Pro, buy or find an old cheap laptop, a ThinkClient I saw another post suggest, etc. I need something super small and quiet because I am splitting a small place right now. Should I get 2? One to torrent things while I'm gone and one to host Plex, or can I put them on the same machine?

• Or should I start improving other parts of the torrenting and streaming experience? I've seen people mention Sonarr, Radarr, and other applications that I haven't experimented with yet.

• Or should I just port all of this into a seedbox hosted by someone else even though I have the VPN subscription for awhile longer? It would clear up some room but I'd hate to be tied to a subscription.

• I know I'll also need to buy more storage soon to make it a viable library, too.

What do you all think should prioritize next?

Some PTs I’m on state it’s okay to re-direct my traffic through a server to browse the site. Issue is I don’t know what software to use to do this.

I want to make a flutter app to browse forums on PTs is really why I’m doing this. I hope to bring more life into the usually slow forums.

Greetings citizens, pirates, denizens and all of you fellow incredible people of this society of brave internauts who wish the world was a little more free. It is with great curiosity that I pose my inquiry, seeking guidance from those who sail the high seas of knowledge, for I yearn to embark on a journey towards the treasure trove of information that is most precious.

Usenet, still a thing? How do I get into thing?

k thks.

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.

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.'"

CDM project seems to be down. I was learning how to WEBDL from it a few months ago. can someone please share it if they have backup. It will much appreciated

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!

The movie is already available in the private tracker Lat-Team which focuses mostly on Latin Spanish media, but has a wide support for dual audio stuff with English as well.

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
