Don’t use raw torrents with Stremio - it ties up slots on seeders, and doesn’t seed for itself. That’s why they recommend RealDebrid. If you want to rawdog torrents, go rawdog torrents and please without Stremio.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

If you live in Germany or the USA

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Please do not use Stremio without RD - you’d be a freeloader on the torrent ecosystem. Stremio doesn’t seed back.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

This is normal - if the police demand an IP address, they’ll get one. So don’t give the police a reason to demand one.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Debrid leeching is much better than Stremio leaching. RD leeches the file once, but Stremio leeches the file every time someone watches it.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

We need socialism now.

MAM

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Legal or not legal isn’t determined by the licence key anyway. You can buy it for real, then crack it and you still have a legal copy.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

USA companies can legally lie. Europe they can’t.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

When it’s discovered it stops working. Rippers have custom reverse engineered tooling and keep it secret.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

yt-dlp is a dedicated ripping tool, however, it doesn’t try to break DRM. They let it exist out in the open because it doesn’t touch DRM.

When a Torrent disappears from 1337x, how do you find out what happened?

Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed....

WarmApplePieShrek ,

I think triggered snowflake fascists are the only people who still use those rating sites. Then, they the user ratings (which they rigged) don’t match the staff ratings.

Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

We are slaves

Please drink a verification can.

Property rights aren’t even fair. Big guys assert them, and little guys have them taken away. A good comment: lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5648831

WarmApplePieShrek ,

When you steal cable, you don’t deprive the cable company of anything.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

If you don’t drink a verification can, are you depriving Mountain Dew of their legal right to make you drink verification cans? If you don’t enroll in the IOF, are you depriving Israel of its legal right to murder thousands of darker skinned people? Maybe some legal rights are so stupid they shouldn’t exist?

WarmApplePieShrek ,

If you didn’t buy something today, you’re stole potential revenue. Louis Vuitton needs that money to survive!

WarmApplePieShrek OP ,

There are more ways to detect than peer ID.

This client is already extremely popular. Before the spoofing update, it’s mis-identified as TorrentStorm 0.0.0.8 in qBittorrent. It makes up half the peers on a lot of my torrents. Have you checked?

WarmApplePieShrek OP ,

It does dominate my personal bandwidth. You’ll notice if one of your torrents is on their app. You’ll be uploading all day and it’ll fill half your peers list.

WarmApplePieShrek OP ,

If you use a debrid service, you’re okay because the debrid service just downloads the file once and caches it for everyone, and you pay for the bandwidth to download from them. That isn’t excessive leeching, whether they seed or not.

WarmApplePieShrek OP ,

Torrents are people sharing files with each other, uploading and downloading. Stremio downloads, but never uploads. And now it doesn’t want you to know who’s using it, because people kept banning it.

WarmApplePieShrek OP , (edited )

Seems to be a good app if you pair it with Real Debrid. Good UI, good platform support, very popular. I just don’t want it wasting my seeding bandwidth.

WarmApplePieShrek OP ,

Not 100% on the terminology. Peers are everyone connected. Seeders have 100% of the file, and leechers don’t. Leechers can be someone who stopped halfway and uploads the half they have, or someone who is still downloading, or someone who actually leeches.

WarmApplePieShrek OP ,

Stremio doesn’t seed after you download. It downloads, puts on the screen, and throws away.

WarmApplePieShrek OP ,

Just use real-debrid. It acts as a cache for you for $3/month. Leech off someone you pay to leech off.

What happened to the PC games (or what happened to consoles)?

I got out of video game piracy for a while, but I’m coming back. One thing I have been absolutely SHOCKED by is how finding PC game torrents is actually kind of difficult from my normal sources. Now it’d be one thing if I just wasn’t seeing games, but for some reason Playstation and Switch have far more uploaders and...

WarmApplePieShrek ,

PolyMC (one L) is not safe, not with a crazy schizo in charge. PrismLauncher is the decrazied fork of PolyMC.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

The owner is a schizo regardless.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

WarmApplePieShrek ,

They won’t. It will go to the highest bidder. Every company does. Stop thinking your favourite one is a special exception. The problem is systemic.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Zachtronics games are single-player puzzle games with online scoreboards (a killer feature tbh). They validate your scores by uploading your solution to the server and running it.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Yes, because of Proton, which is a version of Wine optimized for Steam games. Some games have official compatibility. For the rest, you have to tick a box saying to use Proton even if it hasn’t been tested, and 90% of them just work.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

You can get someone banned on reddit easily if they say certain phrases. I banned a lot of conservative shitheels before they banned me, so I made another account.

Reddit’s admins are super touchy on violence. If someone says a thing on Reddit that sounds like they want to do violence to a person, even if it’s not a real person or they’re obviously joking, just report threatening violence for a free ban.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

let me try it out on you

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Let India cripple its own economy.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

If she was a Russian guy she would have died in Ukraine.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

I didn’t know it was that simple. I’m a she, now worship me.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Preferred pronouns are not gender.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

you’re the first and only one to bring up gender

WarmApplePieShrek ,

They know their priorities. Profits > People.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

That’s why I pirate. I don’t even use 95% of what I download and seed. Just spread it.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Like the Bahnhof ISP in Sweden. They were ordered by a court order from Elsevier (the academic journal extortion firm) to block sci-hub, so they blocked sci-hub and Elsevier journals.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

You still got it half wrong. I2P hops don’t know each other. The big difference is I2P tries to make every user a relay while only Tor relays are relays. Hence Tor torrenting is not recommended because it overloads the limited relays, I2P torrenting is fine because you expand the pool of relays at the same time. I2P doesn’t really have exit nodes, too, so it’s a separate network from the internet.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Most public trackers do this. Schizo’s information is far outdated.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

if it did work, you’d have a thousand euro fine, so be glad it didn’t

WarmApplePieShrek ,

only 100?

WarmApplePieShrek ,

It’s literally how it works. You could also give the bot database access, and block itself from everyone. Or you could make it post on Mastodon instead of Lemmy.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Here’s the TC;DU (too complicated; didn’t understand)

Spam bad. Stop spam.

Nah, I’ll keep downvoting it. It’s my prerogative.
