Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I'd like input on how some of you store, consume & protect your media. I have a rather limited knowledge of hardware and also limited floor space & plugs in my surge protector. My current PC has 2 2TB internal hard drives and no Wi-Fi Card from when it was rebuilt 2yrs ago.

Basically, I want something I can store a LOT of video (let's say 10T+), stream it to my devices, have some type of backup of the material and protection from power failures.

I've heard many terms like Media Server, NAS, Raid, UPS & services like Sync.com, etc. and have tried sorting through various videos on YouTube but it just confuses me more.

Any positive responses would be most appreciated!

hello people, forgive my ignorance, im new to piracy and lately i was looking for a course i need, i looked in the megathread for the best website to download courses from but non of them have it. when i checked some others, i found it on bt4gprx.com and on btdigg, i don't know anything about these sites, i don't know if they provide safe piracy content, i know that no site is 100% safe but there is a minimum as u know, plus both only have the magnet downloading method, and i use direct download since i live in a third world country. so guys anyone here has experience with one of these site ? if not, what site you recommend me to download courses from ? specially the unpopular courses? sorry for the long writing ! tks in advance !!

I know, I know, the wisest thing to do is to abandon them, but today I came across a site that I simply couldn't bypass because it always blocked me with an extremely stupid "disable your adblock" video, that infuriated me so much... I would 100% migrate to torrents if I didn't find such unique catalogs on these sites.

Today I was trying to download Affinity Photo 2 from the websites listed on the megathread, as normally I do exactly that and everything goes just fine.

But when scanning the downloaded files. Windows Defender detected it as hacktool.win32.keygen and malwarebytes as Generic.Malware.AI.DDS.

In the case of Windows, I am guessing that it is not detecting a virus but the actual crack right? That's what that means as far as I'm aware. But what surprised me was malwarebytes, it has sometimes warned about cracks but it's not something it does often, and I don't recognize the detection code, but it seems to be using AI to detect malware now?

Is this something that is known to happen? Malwarebytes AI seems to be detecting cracks as malware... Or is this actually a virus?

I put it in quarantine just in case, but I am guessing this has to be false positives, as it happened with 2 different downloads from 2 different websites.

VirusTotal results also flagged it as "malware", but seems to be also detecting the crack. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/127540f7b3558a94f6e8a4ce9c695231e8715e20a17da4584d5df99035a79d49/detection

PrivTracker allows to share torrent files just with your friends, nobody else. Unlike public trackers, it shares peers only within a group which is using the same Announce URL. It really works like a private tracker, but can be generated with one click of a button.

Title. A particular game Ive been looking for for ages is dead in torrents/dl. Now its sequel is also out.

I found old reddit forums where you could request such games, but theyve been dead for 2+ years.

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

In your opinion what is the must have search engine plugins?

is this website (https://tut4it.com/) safe to download courses from it? i found the course i want but i don't know if it's safe. anyone here have used before?

Veilid is a peer-to-peer network and application framework released by the Cult of the Dead Cow on August 11, 2023, at DEF CON 31. Seems more promising than I2P.

Hi! I'm trying to archive papers as soon as they appear in a scientific journal, and I've attempted to search for PDF links on each page using some regular web scraping.

The problem is that most of these journals will add their fancy PDF readers, and downloading the file is not as straight-forward as it seems. However, the Zotero Connector works flawlessly when you trigger the extension. Therefore, I attempted to set up a selenium instance with this extension to download the papers given a link, but I struggle to actually get the extension to trigger. I tried sending a Shift + Ctrl + S command, but that doesn't seem to get picked up. Similarly, I can't figure out how to call the extension from the console.

Did anyone else attempt such a workflow before? Am I doing something completely unnecessary, as there are better options available? Help a fellow sailor out. Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Libgen.li worked well.

Edit: someone in the comments says restored. I’m on mobile can’t link them

So, I used to have my own VPS and utilize saltbox to roll my own seedbox, but I just can't afford that anymore (could have been my specs, but I was paying like 30-35/mo).

I have used whatbox way back in the day, before my VPS, and it was good.

I'm looking for an adequate seedbox. I'm mostly a Usenet person. I'm very familiar with Linux from terminal.

What do you guys use, other than a VPS and a local NAS. Thanks!

update0: Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. I'll update once again on what I go with! Much love to the advice!

I know they are not the original actors, but the acting and enviroment look really good in my opinion. It's a shame you can only play it on sweden, goodluck with that! https://www.svtplay.se/the-pirate-bay?kfx=BzwpyF9vC

Anyway, I here is a Base64 encoded link to a rentry.co page so you guys can watch both the 2013 documentary and the 2024 Series with english subtitles, regardless on the country or planet or species.

If anyone is willing to upload the subtitles to another cloud service as a mirror, let me know.

long story short, fuck company; still want shows. I remember popcorn time being good at one point, is it still good?

As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.

The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.

• I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
• Some kind of torrent software
• Something for NZBs if still viable
• then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc

I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

Thanks.

FBI finally gets the memo that, yes, other people can find and use mandated back doors

I recently got my (via VPN) YouTube subscription cancelled and now I am wondering, if YouTube videos are findable in the usenet or using torrent tracker.

Does anyone already have experience with this? I block ads, but it seems not like a sustainable solution.

As easy as taking candy from a megacorp’s intellectual property

Rough Procedure:

1. Download game of choice from fitgirl-repacks dot site from a separate (linux) computer. (Dont forget to seed folks!)

2. Install it via lutris. I installed it on my linux PC so Lutris will automatically create a directory under ~/Games

3. After fitgirl is done with her magic, take the entire directory installed under ~/Games, copy it over to a USB, and transfer it to your steam deck. You would probably need a USB to USB-C adapter for this one.

If you have no such adapter, no worries. What you could do is in desktop mode, install Decky, and from Decky install the terminal plugin (or you can skip installing Decky entirely and just use the terminal from desktop mode. But Decky is a really good plugin and want an excuse for more people to try it out!). SteamOS is by default an immutable distro so you can’t mess around outside your home directory unless you invoke some special linux incantations. Here is the procedure for that: https://christitus.com/unlock-steam-deck/

After you unlock & install the terminal on your steam deck, install and start openssh daemon so your steam deck can be an ssh server so other pcs on your local network can ssh into your steamdeck. From the top of my head the command should be:

sudo pacman -S openssh

sudo systemctl start sshd.service

Or something like that idk 🤷

After that do an “ifconfig” on your terminal emulator on the steam deck to find out the local address of your steam deck (should be something like 10.x.x.x, or 192.168.x.x or something (basically search up what an internal ip should look like)). After you successfully ascertain such code, try to ssh in to your steam deck, and if you can, do an rsync from your PC. (rsync -rl —progress ‘installed game directory’ deck@‘steamdeck internal ip’:/home/deck/Games)

Ok now that it’s done rsyncing, open up steam from desktop mode in your steamdeck, add non-steam game, and choose the exe file in your installed game folder. (Remember when installing from fitgirl, you can choose where to place the game directory? That should be where it is).

Ok now that’s done, try running it and see if it works. Ez. If you want community game layouts set up, copy & paste the game code from steam db as the “Shortcut Name” of your game, and community layouts should show up

Next steps are optional, but basically your installed game will just be blank in your steam library when you play it, so here are the steps to make piracy more ✨a e s t h e t i c✨

Remember you installed decky? Install the steamgriddb plugin from it, and highlight your new non-steam game, and there should be an option called “changed artwork” when you press the three horizontal line button on ur steam deck. Go ham.

Anyway here are the rough details of how i was able to make it work. Ive only tested it with fitgirl but theres no reason other repacks wont work.

I messed up. My server's boot drive failed and I have no backups and have been unsuccessful in recovering any data. It contained the docker container and data for qbittorrent, meaning all the torrent files for the torrents I was seeding are all gone. I still have the files themselves which are intact on a separate raid. The problem Is I don't know how to continue seeding them because I don't have the original torrent files or magnet links or anything. Does anyone know how I can search for torrents that match the files I have, or do I simply have to replace everything one by one in order to continue seeding? Thank you everyone in advance. Also, I should mention that I am currently working on putting together a backup server as soon as parts arrive in a few days.

I have an old school boob tube tv in my room, currently with a firestick running through a converter. It's fine i guess, but i want something else because 1, the aspect ratio is off since it expects to be hooked up to a flatscreen, and 2 the privacy problem of running something from amazon. Is there something that could work here?
