piracy

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...

Does anybody have the impression that Stremio may be a honeypot of some sort?...

I was feeling real groovy about my fresh new ultra.cc VPS, but it’s slow as fuck! sub 50 kbps upload. I’ll never untank my ratio at this rate!...

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...

Hi,...

It’s not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking...

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.

What would be the easiest way to watch a live sports event, for example the Fury vs Usyk boxing match tonight?

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...

Until I read someone mentioning them on Facebook, but the comment was removed shortly after....

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...
