Yep it's been perfect. I'm very happy with this instance and communities.

I did a bunch of downloading of stuff I plan to read before the extensions stop working. Should give me time to wait to see what develops until then.

I use it mainly for manhwa too, since it's really easy to find higher quality manga downloads compared to manhwa with it being webtoon based.

Emulation is king when it doesn't have bugs for sure. I've been running more games through emulation over the switch as it's gotten better for that beautiful fps and resolution jump.

Jail breaking is an option too for the Switch and I've been happy with the experience. Even paying more for a physically modded oled version ends up paying for itself quick considering the price of games.

Yeah, cost of an extra $120 a year to try and get more media out of a legit and already expensive monthly subscription is the point where I'd just scrap it all for a cheaper VPN for pirating. Point of paying for Netflix or Hulu for me would be to not have to do that stuff.

Also, complaining about not having time but wasting their time talking to strangers online. I could understand the perspective from someone who doesn't pirate, but to a pirate it is pretty hilarious seeing them making it out as this incredibly difficult time consuming thing like infomercials do.

What are you pirating that makes it so hard? I don't bother with software or programs so it's just pretty much looking at what's newly released and torrenting it.

Why even pirate if it's that much of a pain? Pretty much same logic to me a someone who complains about how confusing pc gaming is. I'd point to the consoles.

Really? I could understand that point from someone not in the piracy community, but doesn't seem any more time consuming than posting on lemmy. Not really starved for time if someone is spending their time on social media.

Mind you I don't pirate software or games, so maybe that's why. Pretty much hardest has been waiting for download to finish.

The hunt is part of the fun. Like how people will opt to build a PC or a keyboard over a pre-built or pull out vinyl over digital. The steps taken to retrieve and enjoy the media is sometimes a relaxing process.

This is from /r/roms

Has links to Nintendo games there and also shows archive.org source for them too.

Biggest evidence of that is Epic will give away games for free, but there will be people who prefer to pay for the Steam version over the free version.

That's the biggest evidence that piracy is a problem of distribution and goes against the idea that those who pirates are against paying for a product.

 

Finding that torrent sometimes don't download at all despite seeders being present, so having to look around.

I had seen ivpn recommended before, but they don't allow port forwarding anymore.

Also, anyone know what is up lemmy.fmhy.net being down? Found about this checking discuit.net of all places.

This was posted like 12 hours ago on reddit. 1 hour ago on discuit. So quite some time has passed for this to show up here. Never used filecr so had to look it up and it was recommended to people in the past on reddit, so seems potentially concerning.

FileCR Malware So far, malware has been found in the following cracks, but it is likely it is undiscovered in many more downloads because of how large their catalog is.

Found Malware in: KMS Matrix, Windows Activator by GoDaddy and Stardock Star11.

 

I've been using mpc with madvr for years, and the upscaling setting for stuff that isn't 4k.

 

Would installing an OS on an external ssd and booting into that to run pirated software while blocking access to other drives in your system or physically unplugging them be one way?

Or are there better ways to isolate the software you run and use as much as possible?

 

I want to stream mkv files to Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. Transcoding isn't that important. Just want something convenient.
