Welcome to Lemmy, I'm one of the devs and admins for this instance.

Being pro-piracy, and allowing torrent magnet links 🏴‍☠️ , is one of the original reasons I started working on lemmy ( even a lot of the better reddit alts refuse to allow magnet links, or be pirate-friendly).

One of the best ways to keep the stream alive, is by decentralizing the ways we find and access content. Torrents do this directly for data, but I hope that lemmy, as a federated reddit alternative, can eventually serve as a platform to aggregate, post, and comment on pirated data in a decentralized way.

More info about Lemmy including docs, how federation works, and a good onboarding site.

Welcome aboard!

Free dissemination of knowledge that benefits the advancement of mankind should never be illegal.

I just find some website who transform torrent and usenet link into direct link and can use without subscription : boby.sh can download 200mb/h, it's not much but it can help some folks in strict countries. if you good at linux better using seedbox lol.

I'm looking at my client, and have a few torrents that are between 99 and 99.8% finished and have been stuck like that for weeks. Anyone know of a good tool, AI or otherwise, that can "fill in" the missing bits? Wouldn't that be cool?

Hello! on my home server I currently have jellyfin+arr suite installed, but I have often problems finding downloads, probably because of the torrent indexers I have access to. Because of this, I often find myself watching content on streaming websites because it has not been downloaded on the server.

So I started to consider replacing jellyfin with stremio. I'd like, if possible, to self host it with docker. I tried to follow the instructions here, but I'm a bit confused: if I go to myserver:12470, it says "the connection was reset by the server", while if I go to myserver:11470 I'm just redirected to https://app.strem.io/shell-v4.4/?streamingServer=<myserverhere>.

am I doing something wrong? I can't find any guide or similar on how to self host it, so I guess it's not something supported, but if it's the case then what's the point of the docker image? I'd like to be independent on the stremio server, it's the point of self-hosting it

thanks in advance fellow sailors!

I haven't really looked for obscure music before, and I'm not having any luck with my usual tv/movie/software sources. It's "Scherzo No.1 in A Major from III trietti methodichie IlI sche... Jean-Pierre Rampal" (that's what I could get out of Shazam. Obviously it's cut off a bit)

Has anyone found sources for the alleged development builds for PC made for the two games outside of mentions on Twitter that it exists?

Most communities on externally-owned sites don’t allow requesting content, but I assume there’s something somewhere for that purpose. I try to find as much as I can on my own but I need help with something currently so yeah.

if you're a long time PC games pirate, I'd like to divert your attention to an area you probably haven't looked at (I know I haven't) - Playstation 3.

you're free to look up its history, but in short, it's tech that premiered in 2006, so def on the old side. nevertheless, it's still in active use with game development reaching into 2017.

the kicker here is - it's almost flawlessly jailbreakable, allowing you to play anything that was produced for it, including games for PS1 and PS2! two caveats: a) I haven't registered nor used a PSN account, as I see no value in it so no idea if network play works and b) I only tried 15 or so games.

they can be had in the $30-50 range, the older models (fat and earlier slim) being preferable because they support the persistent hack, while later slims and superslims are less so, but still hackable with a non-persistent hack (you need to patch it every time it powers on).

the hack is super easy and straightforward and involves no hardware mods of any kind - it wouldn't hurt to clean and repaste a 20 year old device, though. the new hack with the custom firmware (CFW) is persistent, so it's there forever unless you decide to flash the original firmware (OFW).

because it's such an old platform there isn't super active resistance from sony towards the hack scene, so you should be good on that front for many, many moons. in contrast, the rare PS4 hacks are quickly patched and rendered useless, even though it's pretty ancient tech from 2012.

I stumbled onto one by chance, found a broken device sans Blu-Ray drive, seemingly useless for normies. thanks to the super-active community at psx-place, I was able to resurrect it, flash the latest 4.91 CFW with a noBD patch, got me a fake sixaxis game pad and an old 500 GB drive and everything works beautifully!

you can get games from dedicated "ROM" sites as well as torrents; I'm not overly familiar with the malware situation but I doubt it's a serious concern. the games can be transferred over the network using plain ol' FTP, copied from USB drives or even played directly from those. although it was the primary method of game distribution, I haven't needed the BD once. there are mods with store-like interfaces that allow you to directly download games from the internet and install them to the disk. also, DLNA is supported, I managed to play movies from my Jellyfin server!

although it won't hurt it, SSD are probably overkill. the SATA1 interface it has is congruent with transfer speeds of mechanical drives, so you're fine with repurposing one of those, as they can be had for next to nothing; max size is 1.5TB.

I've gotten a cheap sixaxis clone; cost me $10 NiB and it works. I don't know if I suck at playing dynamic games because it's shit or because I plain suck (never played with a gamepad before), that remains to be seen. I'm def not buying an original because they cost like $50+, and I'm not getting them used because yuck - who knows who sweated on them and what else they did with it.

a word of warning - you shouldn't spend a ton of money on them because it's decade+ old tech that's on the uptick part of a bathtub curve. the graphics chips they had, especially the early models, are prone to die and repair isn't viable.

it took me a while to piece together all the info as I've never had any interactions with consoles of any kind, let alone the hack aspects of it. if you're similarly challenged, ask away here or on ps3piracy and I'll try to help!
