ggt,

I also want to mention this happened at 2 or 3 AM EST, which only had 2 admins on, me and the hoster. I should’ve made a post, but given the severity, lack of info, and lack of staff members, we both decided to shut it down immediately until it was patched. I personally apologize for the downtime but I hope it’s understandable why we did it this way. In case something like this happens again, I’ll post it in the FMHY Divolt server.

ggt,

If you guys can link some bad posts that are actively encouraged by the instance then I’ll add it to the blocked list. (This is why it isn’t blocked right now - all I’ve heard is that it’s just right wing, which doesn’t constitute a block.)

ggt,

Hi, yes, this is a very good server, no bias whatsoever 😊

We do Originals, Plus, and First content. Podcasts can be requested but I’ll have to do those manually. Sometime soon we’ll also be doing Curiosity Stream, HD nebula videos (non-exclusive content but higher bitrate than on youtube), and classes (whenever yt-dlp adds support for it.) Plus a bot to automatically do requests :)

I also have a release group there called iDoISO, where we do full ISO rips of 4K and BluRay discs and “lossless” MKVs (basically no encoding whatsoever.) We don’t have a lot of releases for them right now (it’s pretty pricey even for a few 4Ks) but I’ve put a lot of time and attention to each release, so please take a look :)

If you have any questions or feedback don’t hesitate to reach out to me! (Either here, on Divolt, or over DMs!)

EDIT: oh also we have a discord server if you don’t like Divolt, just know that all the links are under b64 and idoiso isn’t on it.

ggt,

Thank you :)

ggt,

Hey there, do you mind if you can post what else you want over in the Requests channel? I’ll be happy to rip them whenever I’m free.

ggt,

Thank you so much :D

ggt,

Yeah I asked you to post what you wanted to , and since you didn’t respond I figured I’d ask you here 😅 All of the exclusive Mustard videos should be there. LMK if there’s anything I’m missing.

ggt,

You’re probably just on the Home page. Swipe right or press the icon with three lines on the top left.

ggt,

No problem :)

Is there something like the pirate bay but for direct downloads?

Im honestly scared to get into pirating but some things are just way too overpriced. i know theres the piract bay and such sites but it requires torrecting and a vpn but i cant afford a vpn so is there like a direct downloads version of the pirete bay or a safer alternative? im looking to get a few peices of media by the way....

ggt,

I wonder why something like that hasn’t become a thing and gotten big.

Not only is tor not used by the majority of pirates, it also limits speeds by a lot. Not to mention you can’t index onion links in search engines. But I mean, you wouldn’t need a VPN with it, so…

ggt,

Closest thing would be the Usenet, which is paid. (Decently cheap, but still.)

Seedboxes and DMCA ignore VPS’s exist, which is how a lot of DDLs and streaming sites live. You can also encrypt it before uploading (although you’ll have to decrypt it afterwards.) For archiving, Telegram has 2GB file limits but is free and unlimited total storage.

ggt,

As in tor links don’t show up on regular search engines (like Google, DDG, etc.) It’s how most people find piracy sites.

Also, aren’t downloads incredibly slow? I know regular browsing is so I’d imagine downloads would be slower.

ggt,

Those two seem pretty slow regardless, but you’re right, that’s not a big difference, so it could work… really, though, the main hurdle is popularity. Unless you’re operating like a private tracker (which is no fun), it’s going to be very hard to get both uploaders and users to it. You’ll have to somehow get a lot of people interested, starting without any content (or if you’re an uploader yourself, not a lot of content), not a lot of recognition, on a relatively new platform. With the added bonus of it being harder to access.

ggt,

If you have dev experience you can get in touch with us over on Divolt :) Otherwise the best way to improve FMHY is to help with the wiki. We have a -do channel on our server which is a great starting point.

As for project ideas specifically for FMHY, I don’t have any rn. We have a billion backups and projects like Divolt and Lemmy are additive (and really made for the whole community rather than just FMHY.) But maybe some of the other folks here have some ideas.

ggt, (edited )

AFAIK this server has had 100% uptime (but I’m not the hoster so I can’t say for certain. We definitely never encountered any major downtime or crash.) There are hourly restarts to fix the image service, maybe that’s what you’re referring to? Those only last a few moments and other instances, like lemmy.world, do it too. (In fact they do it at every 30 minutes, which we’ve considered doing too)

ggt, (edited )

Basically. If you go to a certain website, that’s one instance, and if you go to another website (that’s also on Lemmy), that’s a different one.

Are you sure you’re talking about this one (And you’re on this site?) Double checked it isn’t your own internet? By “down” do you mean some posts don’t work, all posts, or you can’t access the site at all? Also, are you far from where the server is hosted from, which is Europe?

ggt,

Well the only possibility is that it’s a DNS or VPN issue, cause like Kai said, we haven’t had any downtime, let alone one that lasts hours at a time.

ggt,

js and ts are pretty cool and if anyone disagrees and says php is better i WILL ban you /s

ggt,

Welp, there goes all of my childhood videos and memories from over a decade or so ago. Google, how do you expect people to remember passwords from 15 years ago?

It’s a good thing that yt-dlp supports full channel downloads. But this is horrible for old content, probably even worse than the time they privated old unlisted videos. What if someone is dead? What about people in comas?

ggt,

inb4 they back out of that statement and delete it

ggt,

It’s a bet. I’m sure they’ll do it at some point.

ggt,

You could potentially run a backup site or a different lemmy instance, but that requires people possibly knowing your real IP and port forwarding (unless you use a VPN or port tunnel), technical knowhow, and constant uptime. If you don’t mind ruining the PC, you could also test software / cracks on there. (Turn off your internet if you’re planning on doing this.)

Honestly, the best way you can help is contributing to the wiki and helping people out in Divolt and on here. No extra computer needed.

ggt,

if only 😔

ggt,

is that top image AI generated lol, that compression is so bad

ggt,

Yeah I contacted them and they gave me $80 back 😊 got like 15+ games from it lol
