Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.
As the title says. I am using the ByPass Paywall add-on and it used to work, but since some time it just doesn't. I've made sure the site I am trying to visit is listed in the list of sites, and I've also manually added it, but to no avail. Does anyone know any good alternatives to bypass paywalls, or some way of troubleshooting...
I bought a refurbished steam deck finally and am thinking about what my ahem acquisition workflow will be. This is what I'm thinking from my past experience daily driving Linux (arch btw):...
Has anyone used this? I haven't seen it recommended before in the typical arr stack and it seems like its infinitely more useful for those who are trying to easily maintain ratio on private trackers.
lol, iTunes Store has definitely somehow gotten /worse/ for buying #music than it was, say, 5 years ago.
Also seems unlikely Amazon's #MP3 section has improved (I remember it being pretty awful), plus I've mostly removed Amazon from my life already.
Wondering at what point I need to start figuring out where all the cool MP3 #piracy is happening nowadays. And hope enough other pirates share my tastes.
Apparently all .tv domains registered through Sarek Oy (sarek.fi; or #Njalla, which uses them) are currently disabled by the .tv registry (turnon.tv / godaddy). No details are known and domain owners were not notified. This affects a few piracy sites, but also any other unrelated .tv domains, unfortunately including my jomo.tv domain. Piracy related .tv domains using a different registrar are not affected.
In the Plex forums, many users report that they use #Hetzner’s servers for non-infringing uses, including storing their legitimate personal media collections.
"È una fake news" dicevano. Ormai per qualsiasi verità scomoda, basta bollarla come #fake, chi la diffonde come complottista, e tutto si risolve.
Con il "piracy shield platform" Italiano, nella migliore delle ipotesi stanno facendo una figura di merda a livello globale, nella peggiore stanno mettendo su un sistema che va oltre il grande firewall cinese.
Questa è l'email che ho ricevuto oggi da #cloudflare: un mio sito (niente di importante per fortuna) è caduto nel ban del piracy shield perché questi signori hanno bloccato un IP di cloudflare che ovviamente è condiviso da migliaia di siti legittimi e perfettamente legali.
Io mi chiedo come si possa bloccare indiscriminatamente un indirizzo IP senza neanche fare un whois, ma soprattutto come si possa dare un potere così grande ad un ticket aperto da qualche centralinista di sky o dazn, che non sa neanche di cosa sta parlando.
Non commento il presidente di agcom che ieri piangeva in parlamento che Google non gli vuole bloccare gli IP a livello di dns perché sarebbe un precedente mondiale... gne gne gne.
Is that the one where you just get a video of some wealthy tailored suits laughing uncontrollably in your face, on endless loop, with no stop or exit app button?

Was reminded about the X-Men Animated Series from the 90s. Looked it up and they haven’t put these out on DVD or BR. May need to try and find it on the Interwebz because I couldn’t pay for it even if I wanted to; it’s not available. How are amazing shows like this getting preserved?
What a rabbit hole, integrating Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Deluge and Jellyfin to completely automate the tracking, sorting, naming and searching of my entire media library.
Illustration for the Dutch ComputerTotaal magazine, for an article about Stichting BREIN, translating to "BRAIN Foundation", a foundation funded by publishers to battle digital piracy.
I don't remember the exact scope of the article, but I guess the foundation threatened legal action to kids who copied CD-ROM games.
You know why people pirate stuff? Because even when you pay for it, you get hit with garbage like this. Was reading thru the EULA for the #MetalGear Master Collection bonus content on Steam, and this little paragraph jumped out at me.
Shit like this is the reason I built my own home server to keep backups of everything, including the installation files of all my Steam games. "No CD" or "No Steam" cracks are a thing, should worse come to worse.
ByPass Paywall add-on in firefox is not working with paywalled sites. Alternatives?

Dear Steam deck pirates, what's your current setup?
I bought a refurbished steam deck finally and am thinking about what my ahem acquisition workflow will be. This is what I'm thinking from my past experience daily driving Linux (arch btw):...
