Whether pirates have wanted or not if they pirated long enough they have experience lot of things being killed off. Torrent sites they relied on dying and disappearing for good like rarbg. Recent reddit causality being r/newyuzupiracy. Direct links being killed off like megaupload. Discord channels dedicated to piracy or jailbreaking being banned and killed off (why isn't stuff like matrix more common instead of hoping Discord ignores them?).

The constant search for new methods to piracy p2p, torrents, usenet, i2p, irc, discord bots, telegram bots, etc.

It's not an area that has stability so pushes people to constantly be searching and finding new ways to pirate. Being on centralized places has always been borrowed time. Piracy in the long run always ends up having to search for a new home, better places, better methods. It's a nomadic lifestyle in the digital space by the nature of it and the hostility towards pirates from those in power.

But, one thing that has remained a constant has been decentralization. With no better representation of that spirit than bittorrent. As long as a few people have it the source remains alive.

Yeah, I'd prefer it to be a resource educating and assisting people to the best options to go to than to actually be sharing direct file links or anything like that. There's other sites that are handling that side.

Then go open up your own sub if you want a piracy sub on reddit that much. You think it's the name that makes a sub special? Could be /r/shitideas and if you made it focused on piracy it'd be a piracy sub. Acting like there's something stopping you from starting up your own. If anything it being /r/shitideas would make it easier to go under the radar and attract less attention from being shut down. Step up if you want it.

Don't even need to do that. Just need to point to what happened to /r/megalinks

Looked through the archive from 2019 /u/qefbuo said

Personally I think we should move to a decentralized network like Diaspora, anywhere we gather that's centralized is on borrowed time.

Or what more recently happened with r/newyuzupiracy

When reddit decides a ban hammer is going to strike there is no warning.

People are so brain dead that they think the only place to get answers on piracy is reddit. Even 4chan is better if they can't be bothered to come here or raddle or any piracy forums that exist outside of reddit if they are left that clueless.

Should nuke the stuff on reddit, and give it back to them to figure it all out for themselves. They can have their sub if they want to talk piracy on reddit that much. Probably go about recommending piratebay to each other to download software and games.

That should be the way for every sub really. Just wipe and leave it unmoderated and tell the people who are whining to go mod it themselves now that it's back open.

What is debrid?

[–] DarkTides@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Or in more official terms. This is not a declaration of piracy. We are only conducting special archival operation.

Does it pass actual Dolby vision signal or is it converting it to SDR? When I tried mpv long time ago it didn't send HDR signal and just converted it to SDR.

It's like a time travel left their headphones behind and this person picked up.

I use newpipe already so it's a quick download of video or audio file from newpipe itself as I'm looking through subscription.
