Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I've moved from Russia, where torrents are pretty popular and only recently were mitigated by Steam, to a Nordic country. I don't intend on breaking the law, because my residence is temporary and I have funds to buy games, but I wonder if any of these things found in Russia or other Eastern European countries are accepted by people in the Nordics:

• Local torrent trackers and torrenting in general
• "Unofficial" streaming services
• Fan translations
• Renting and exchanging games
• Account sharing
• Selling and installing hardware hacks (e.g. Nintendo Switch homebrew chips)

...so I don't meet confused glances when I mention these Russian "customs" when chatting with locals. Mentioning specific services is not required, of course, I'm just trying to read the atmosphere.

Hi guys! There used to be a time where you could just play di.fm streams for free, anywhere, as long as you didn't mind the 96kbps bitrate. Any streamer could fetch the playlist and stream straight. Moreover, you could also easily find the premium streams! But they capped all of this. First the premium, then the readily available lower quality streams, so you'd need an account and login to the website, and swallow ads from time to time, or the player would die. I just logged recently, and it turns out now you're only allowed to play a very reduced selection of random channels, not the ones you want anymore. And this really breaks it for me. Is there any good...alternative path to listen to them?

anyone know where I can find some audiobooks, can't find anthing on the megathread?

I’d like to watch this last weekend‘s race

More of a tailscalequestions I suppose, but the usecase is heavily this community. Double NAT so no port forwarding. Using Tailscale fine to get to jellyfix/plex. But how would one use it on a hotel TV or at a friends house/TV ? Thought?

Pretty much the title, Cant really find anything that has a similar UI and range of movies/shows.

zlibrary on telegram is the official source behind the websit and they announced a windows app, i downloaded it and got only one threat: a ransomware, i know this is non worrying but someone on the community tab commented some gibberish that maybe indicate something

the virustotal link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/96eba9b6c29a025fc3984926ea2c5f05181fde18d825f0ab823e5e172369b7e8/community

btw bonus question: can files be flagged 0/60 and still have some kind of malware or virus ?

I know they are mostly in TV and Movies but might be someone deal with Music scene.

This dns leak test says I have a bunch of them, and I'm genuianlly concerned because I just started torrent with mullvand VPN yesterday

In express vpn's dns leak test though, it only shows eight so idk whats up. I switched to cloudflares dns but after seeing all those leaks I switched back to my normal dns

I've been trying to figure this out for couple of weeks. Torrent sites putting limit on search result.

magnetdl.com = can't go further after 30 pages torrentfunk.com = can't go further after 4 pages (with 250 displayed torrents on each page)

btdig.com = can't go further after 100 pages

1337x.to = can't go further after 50 pages

If you want your game to look more sharp/crisp, in the Steam Properties, set the Resolution to 1920x1200 and Check Set for Internal /External, Basically the deck will render Yuzu way higher, Making the game being rendered look super sharp/crisp and it won’t affect the performance. Make sure you don’t have Anti-Aliasing on.

To put it short, can I use ProtonVPN free for XDCC? I don’t want to be handed out a nice DMCA letter as I don’t manage the ISP. I would get a paid VPN but I’m currently paying off student debt, maybe I’ll do it later. But for now, is ProtonVPN free an okay VPN?

Many thanks in advance.

I was always cautiously curious about the game but am not thrilled about supporting Rowling. Last time I checked it seemed like it was proving to be extremely difficult to crack. I see some torrents listed but they're not from uploaders I recognize and the seed count seems a little low for a modern high profile release. Are there some good/safe torrents out there by now?

@piracy i wonder if you can just start a thread on lemmy by simply mentioning the group in a post.
https://wikileaks2.org/epstien-didnt-kill-himself.torrent

A group of filmmakers wants Reddit to disclose the identities of several users who made piracy-related comments. Reddit objects, citing its users' right to anonymous speech.

So I downloaded 3 different versions of John Wick 4 at this point... 4k h265 from PsO, the same from CONTiNENTAL and the 1080p from CONTiNENTAL.

I even tried "optimizing" it for TV via Plex....

It just doesn't play on my TV... On my PC via Plex Web it does play but no matter what I do, it doesn't on my TV. Everything else plays perfectly fine.

I have the Samsung S95B and I know it doesn't support DoVi, but other titles that have DoVi do play and just use HDR10 if that's available.

The 1080p CONTiNENTAL doesn't have any HDR and doesn't play either.

What am I missing?

EDIT: I found out that the AC3 audio codec is broken for me with the german language. It shows as AC3 Stereo and doesn't work. But the AC3 5.1 in english does work flawless....i need to find out how to change the audio codec of the german track for eAC3 or DAC for example.

Seeking various courses from the online course site, Coloso. I've found very few on the usual course sites online, so I was hoping folks here might be capable of helping.

So i realized that a lot of Piracy is going trough Telegram and so i wanted to ask if anybody has some Tips what to Do before i raise my sails (plugins, Tools, awareness in General) and in which direction i should raise my sails (Aka Good channels / group to follow)

I tried some 3D Printing stl channels, which all seems to be copies of each other / linking to each other (since i searched especially for the stagetop table files before i invest money in them myself) But all Tipps and reccomendations are welcome :)

As the title says, i want to use torrentio lite's scrubbing of torrents but not have to go through all the different sites it does to find the torrents i want. I realize it's probably more user friendly just to get streamio and use the add-on to browse/stream it but i like to keep things for offline days.

Thanks so much to all of you for creating this community and for bringing it to the fediverse!

And oh yeah, Ahrrrr!

I recently made a post about potentially setting up a Plex server or something similar because my Kodi streaming setup so so bad. Then I started thinking there has to be a better way to stream. I thought I would try this before setting up a server.

Current Setup: Right now I just had Kodi installed on my fire sticks with the addon "The Crew". To make this short, it sucks. Half the links don't work, it doesn't have everything I want to watch, and the UI is just a list of shows with no cover art, it isn't good for just scrolling to try to find something to watch, like you would on Netflix.

What I'm looking for: I'm looking for a way to stream shows & movies reliably without a VPN. I would also love for it to have a good UI, with cover art so you can just scroll and find something to watch. Right now it just having everything in list form makes it no good for wanting to just scroll and find something new to watch.

I would love to know how other people stream tv. I know there has to be a better way than what I am doing now.
