Site not working for me. just wondering if anyone else having an issue.

Does such a feature even exist ? If not damn I have never found newpipe lacking features but that seems too big a one for them to not consider or I'm being dumb and don't know how to do it . Any other sites that can do it ? and there is no option to back up only playlists in new pipe so the site must have to be compatible with newpipe right ? I hated downloading mp3s of internet and the pain and riscs that came with it and newpipe was like really good for me but after I have reset my phone and imported everything back to the app I have found that I have to download songs one by one manually from the playlist lol which gets tired fast as there is a wait time and then you have to change the file type each time (which I think is a big flaw too lol considering how good the rest of the app and features are) etc.

I really don't want to have to go to a shady site maybe if there is no way I'll just do it manually one by one lol . Also not sure if the /c/ is right but it is pircy related I guess .

A guide on how to pirate e-books using IRC

In this tutorial, I will be using an Ubuntu to demonstrate the process.

While there is a project called Openbooks that can automate this process, I will be showing you how to do it manually because I've found Openbooks to be unreliable.

We will be using HexChat for this tutorial, but feel free to use an alternative client if you prefer. The process will remain the same regardless of the client you choose. As a side note, I've completed writing this guide and have found that HexChat is no longer supported. Instead, I recommend using Polari (for GNOME), Pidgin, or Konversation (for KDE). In fact, I've replaced the screenshots of connecting to the server with instructions on how to do it in Konversation, as it's the most similar to HexChat. However, Pidgin and Polari are also suitable alternatives that will work just as well.

Launch your IRC client.

In the Server field, enter irc.irchighway.net and ensure the port number is set to 6667. Make sure to leave the SSL checkbox unchecked. Once you've entered the details, click OK to save the changes. Then, navigate to the Server list interface and click the "Connect" button.

If you're having trouble connecting, it's possible that your IP address has been blocked. This is more likely if you're using a VPN, Tor, or I2P.

Type /join #ebooks in the chat box

5.png To search for a specific eBook, type @search followed by the title or keywords of the book you're looking for. For example, if you're interested in finding a book from the Harry Potter series, you can type @search Harry Potter.

Try to find the book with just one search to avoid overwhelming the servers.

5.png

A window will appear; simply click the "Accept" button. Once you do, a zip file will be downloaded and saved to your default download folder.

7.png Extract the text file from the zip file, and then open the text file.

8.png Identify the book you want to obtain, and then copy the corresponding line of text. In my case, I want to get "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", so I will copy the line !DeathCookie J K Rowling - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.epub and paste it into the chat box.

9.png Click on the file, and then click the "Accept" button. The file will then be downloaded to your default downloads folder, and you'll have it.

I will maintain and update this guide on both Lemmy and my NotABug repository.

Wery interestin documentary about music piracy starting from 90's when mp3's was new thing

Hello, I'm not a fan of pirating when it's unecessary, in fact I've legit windows 10 on my PC, legit games etc.

I'd like to give a new life to my old Windows 7 notebook for when I travel or I want to work outside my room, and Microsoft has made VERY expensive to upgrade nowadays to the most recent OS (s).

I'd like to ask, since most posts I've read are old, what's the best way to pirate Windows 10 currently?

This is a good example of how copyright’s continuing obsession with ownership and control of digital material is warping the entire legal system in the EU. What was supposed to be simply a fair way of rewarding creators has resulted in a monstrous system of routine government surveillance carried out on hundreds of millions of innocent people just in case they copy a digital file.

I was just curious about this because I haven’t seen anything on this community, and I don’t want to get in trouble with my ISP since it’s the only reliable one in my area. If so, is it exclusively the paid tiers, or free tiers too?

Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file that is less than 24 hours old. I was streamed using VLC version 3.0.20 form the repose on Linux.

OK, so, I have a couple of questions:

  • What's the worst that can happen if I don't use a VPN while pirating?
  • Are free tier VPNs (like Proton VPN) good enough?
  • I don't want to pay much or anything for a VPN, is a way I can get a good free one, or set one myself somehow (I have experience with selfhosting) ?
  • If not, which cheap one do you recommend?

EDIT: I pirate mostly movies, and rarely some TV series.

Lets say you pirate CAD software like Autodesk Inventor or Dassault Solidworks.

Which company is more aggressive toward pirates? Which software is more dangerous to pirate?

For example I heard Adobe is pretty lax about piracy and it's usually no big deal if you pirate Photoshop. So I wonder how it is with CAD companies.

I have seen a lot of posts about people receiving letter from Dassault about pirated Solidworks. But not so much about Autodesk. So I wonder if Autodesk software is safer to pirate than Dassault software.

Thanks for any advice or experience.

Found this cool vid on twitter https://x.com/KevOnStage/status/1798744950236131379

Wanted to download it. However big tech doesn't want its users to be in control of their own data and does not show the option of downloading the video from their site. Big tech can suck my dick.

The streaming sites listed on https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming have plenty of duplicates. Essentially, they're the same sites with different names/skins but the exact same content.

It would be beneficial to the community if we could consolidate these down into groups according to which ones are the same.

We can still list all of them, but perhaps do it together so people don't waste their time trying out the same site under a different name.

As the title says, I'm looking for a private tracker with a good sized library of 1080p AV1 encodes. I'm on LST.gg and there's a handful of uploaders and encoders there that have given me the opportunity to upgrade some of my library to AV1, but I keep hearing about how great AV1 is for anime and there isn't really any anime in AV1 there. An anime specific tracker would be great if they have a decent amount of AV1, but I'm also interested in general cartoons and live action TV/movies.

I have access to a MAM's invite forum and have a well established ratio on several trackers, so once I know where to go hopefully I'll be able to get in.

Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be removed soon with ios emulation and retro handhelds bringing so much attention to roms and these sites

Fellow Scallywags, I'm trying to share my booty (not that one). But my average upload speed is 294,4 kiB/s, while my average download is 6.1MiB/s.

I've tried ProtonVPN port forwarding, but that doesn't seem to increase it much more than compared to Mullvad without port forwarding.

Is it nomal that uploading is this much less than downloading? What can I do to increase upload speeds? Using qbittorrent.

Okay so I've found that it's related to connection limits, while writing this post up; the old just search it up.

So instead what are some good tips regarding connection limits?

On Real Debrid + VPNs (links.hackliberty.org)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by Negligent_Embassy@links.hackliberty.org to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
 
 

Hello,

I set up Stremio + Real Debrid for my girlfriend and we have been really enjoying it.

Since we use different VPNs at the moment, I had the idea to create a VM with stremio and a connection to the same server she's connected to.

The idea being we could use the debrid account simultaneously and have the same IP.

I quickly realized that the last digit of our client IPs were 0-3 digits off from each other, IE:

185.243.218.89 vs 185.243.218.90

Upon seeing this I stopped and checked the debrid account/email to check for a warning and saw nothing.

Question 1: Is this safe/acceptable, or is this considered breach of debrid TOS?

Question 2: Would configuring a VPN on our router solve this issue? Or would it be the same situation?

I'm a bit of a networking idiot as you can see but I'm on a journey to learn.

Thanks in advance
