Amazon Prime, like many services, is a DRM hell. It won’t go to over 480p on Firefox on Linux at my end. However, instead of a rant, I am interested in why this is happening. Say, I rented the same film from YouTube Movies(Yes, such a service exists) and the quality can toggle all the upto 1080p but the same title on Prime...
For starters, I used to live in a third-world country and have been pirating since about 8 thanks to my older bro, and to my knowledge, I never got a virus thanks to good practices and habits like vpn+ and staying only with a trusted tracker (and obviously some luck too). But I stopped when I grew older and made money. Except...
I’m trying to run Headphones via a Docker container on my Raspberry Pi 5, but things don’t seem to be going well. It’s like it brings the Pi down to its knees or something and all this despite the fact that it never appears to really start let alone finish the full scan. Anyone got any experience? Any tips? Anything I...
So I’ve been grabbing a few shows I want to watch reruns of while playing Balatro that don’t have good blu ray releases. My piracy is fairly limited these days so I don’t bother with private trackers (do have a VPN though). In the past, I never really had an issue with grabbing a few one offs off the popular, maybe...
I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.
I know free vpns usually are not good, but right now I am not in a position to pay for a vpn. I found Privado VPN and it doesn’t keep logs and is based in Switzerland. It has a data limit for free users, but do you think its safe for torrenting?
Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster’s taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing....
i like collecting any available extras, featurettes, commentary tracks, etc with any movie or show in my library, but more often than not i have a pretty hard time finding them. i know they’re sometimes on youtube, but it’s very hit and miss, especially with newer movies; and as they’re often included in bluray, iso rips...
I’ve been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I’m finding online is people using nvidia cards…well, I don’t have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that’s extremely uncommon and I can’t find any working...
I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former’s app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...
I’m just curious as I’ve permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I’ve been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I’m curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can’t fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....
I recently got into fighting games (like: kof - street fighters - Mortal Kombat - Guilty Gear…etc). Now you can pirate the game, and you can play it online with someone if the two of you agree on using same pirated copy and Hamachi for example, but where do you meet these people to play with? are there dedicated forums for...
My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours....
