monstoor,

I’ve been sailing the high seas, or at least skirting the shores, since the late 1980s when my classmates and I were swapping BBC Micro software on 5¼" disks! Moved onto PC in 1990 and carried on. I even cracked a few games back in the day :-) These days I don’t pirate so much, and I have quite a collection of legitimate music and software.

monstoor,

A lot of games where either not available at all or we had robots, green blood or missing assets in them.

We even had that problem in the UK with Carmageddon. It wasn’t a problem to locate the correct files, though!

monstoor,

However, in the UK at least, the ISPs are required to log your activity and pass on to the relevant authorities if requested. Best to use an approved VPN to be sure.

monstoor,

AirVPN recommended here. Compatible with WireGuard and they have a Linux client, too.

monstoor,

FitGirl only repacks; he doesn’t defeat Denuvo. The only crackers within the last twelve months or so to crack Denuvo have been MKDEV and EMPRESS, both of whom are no longer active in the scene.

monstoor,

Yes.

monstoor,

My guy, I can’t believe I have to point this out, but FitGirl is a woman.

We actually don’t know, as their identity has never been revealed. The ‘FitGirl image’ is of French actress Audrey Tautou.

monstoor,

Woman and girl also mean different things, especially to law enforcement.

monstoor,

They say they are a girl in the name they use, that’s good enough for me.

Well, good for you. Probably best not to worry about what others may or may not think.

monstoor,

I used to torrent Linux ISOs, but lately I have been using the network image of Tumbleweed on a USB stick and installing over t’internet.

monstoor, (edited )

From a Linux user’s point of view, Epic refuses to support Linux. They also refuse to support their own games using EAC on Linux (via Proton) despite EAC being Linux-compatible.

EDIT: Grammar.

monstoor,

I hope AirVPN can still stay in business. I also hope that other governments don’t start getting ideas.

monstoor,

I’ve been using AirVPN for quite a while and they are reliable and very Linux-friendly. The Linux GUI (Eddie) is easy to use, too.

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

monstoor,

My dad was driving automatic Jags back in the late 1970s, but he did work in the motor trade. I am seeing more and more automatics around but I still think manual is king (at least in the UK) for the time being. If nothing else, you can save some fuel driving an auto!

monstoor,

Agreed, I have my jackett daemon wired up to qbittorrent and all is good!

monstoor,

They’ve been around for a while. They often release Linux and Mac games, and I think they might be affiliated with Razor.

Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer” (www.pcgamesn.com)

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future,...

monstoor,

For my needs, I use qBittorrent with jackett. Both excellent tools!

help needed with linux and torrents

Specifically torrentbytes on Linux. On Linux mint I can download from other sites no problem but if I click a torrentbytes link, it sits there with no seeders forever. I installed arch and a client as a test and it downloaded no problem. Does anyone know why.? What’s the difference between Linux mint and arch that seems to...

monstoor,

Have you opened a port in your firewall?

monstoor,

Well, you do you, but I’d give that a go just to remove it from the list of possible problems.

monstoor,

Someone taking the title of this community literally ;-)

I Just Can't Understand How to install fitgirl repacks on linux

hello fellow sailers , hope you’re having a nice day , a few months back i switched to arch linux because my computer has good ram but not that good gpu , but now i would like to play some og games like portal 2 , portal 1 , inscryption etc from fitgirl repacks and i have scoured through many guides but nothing just works ,...

monstoor,

Yes, rutracker is safe. In particular Kron4ek is a trusted repacker. You can also download games from certain IRC channels which is much quicker but requires some setting up.
