Last I checked you need to purchase an addon to have port forwarding with Windscribe.

These are good options in my experience that are P2P friendly and support port forwarding.

  • AirVPN: Relatively slow but stable, good company
  • OVPN: Some stability/app problems but fast
  • AzireVPN: Lacking features but overall good and fast

Air is the cheapest out of the bunch, they might still have a sale going on now.

liliumstar ,

You can install the AniList and AniDB plugins and enable them on your library. From there, when you go to manually identify the series you can use one of the respective IDs to fetch metadata.

liliumstar ,

Have you tried ticking the lock metadata button when you are editing it?

liliumstar ,

If it gets taken down, I will rehost elsewhere.

PGSub - A Giant Archive of Subtitles For Everyone (gitlab.com)

I’ve been working on this subtitle archive project for some time. It is a Postgres database along with a CLI and API application allowing you to easily extract the subs you want. It is primarily intended for encoders or people with large libraries, but anyone can use it!...

liliumstar OP ,

As mentioned in the post, from three sources. The two site dimps were publicly available as torrents. The third was distributed privately.

liliumstar ,

Just to let you know, Hexchat is no longer maintained, unless someone has forked it. Might be worth looking into alternatives.

hexchat.github.io/news/2.16.2.html

liliumstar ,

I mean yeah, Hexchat does work pretty well and is kind of finished. But it’s possible there are existing security vulnerabilities or new ones to be discovered in the future.

liliumstar ,

Don’t buy into any site requiring money. There are plenty of good private trackers run by community members. Once you join and get your feet, feel free to donate if they are doing a good job.

Tracker recommendations

I’m pretty new to the scene and am trying to build up a content library for a jellyfin instance I’m running. I know a lot of the higher quality torrents are on private trackers so im intested in joining one but the ones ive found seem pretty closed. Even the ones with open sign-ups seen to want proof of my reputation with...

liliumstar ,

There are pretty okay trackers asking for no proofs on open signups. It’s mostly a matter of patience. You can even just sign up for everything and see what’s a good fit, but be sure to use unique passwords on everything to be safe.

If FNP or LST open up again I would suggest signing up, they are shaping up to be good entry level trackers. Also TL usually opens a couple times a year. It’s a massive site but kind of a mess when it comes to curation. Don’t use iPT unless you have no other option.

People will tell you to join book/music trackers to rank up, but unless you like grinding I’m not sure this is the best route.

liliumstar ,

I think this is what you’re looking for?

es-de.org

liliumstar ,

This is my preferred setup, would recommend. If you route the HDMI through an AVR you can also get lossless surround.

liliumstar ,

You generally want to use a model which has been fine tuned to work around the inbuilt censorship. There are plenty available on huggingface currently. It’s not a perfect solution, but works well enough for what it is.

I would suggest using the llama.cpp backend with a frontend of your choosing.

Stop using gitlab.com for projects - Credit card info required for new registrations

If your IP (and possible your browser) looks “suspicious” or has been used by other users before, you need to add additional information for registration on gitlab.com, which includes your mobile phone number and possibly credit card information. Since it is not possible to contribute or even report issues on open source...

liliumstar ,

Like others, I had an account before this was implemented. I have a couple projects on there, also mirrored to self hosted gitea. Have had people refuse/unable to contribute to the gitlab project due to the kyc requirement, so I’m thinking I will migrate to codeberg soon.

liliumstar ,

cs.rin.ru

Make an account and seek the relevant thread.

liliumstar ,

Second Arch. I’m running it on my EOL chromebook with coreboot now. Everything works as intended.

liliumstar ,

Check out the russian site known as rin, they have most everything.

liliumstar ,

I’ve noticed some scene game/software releases have blake3 hashes now. That doesn’t account for everything else, but I’d say it’s a good step.

liliumstar ,

Whatever it was, it redirects to a generic for sale domain page now. Long dead.

liliumstar ,

What about veracrypt?

It’s very easy to use and cross-platform. You can create a volume of arbitrary size, either as a file or using a device/partition, then mount it when you need it.

Looking for obscure, older television

I know it’s against the rules to request links to specific titles, but I assume it’s okay to ask generally. (Still, let me know if this should be taken down.) I’m looking for sources of an obscure cryptid-hunting show from the 2000s. It’s like popcorn to me, I just can’t help watching it....

liliumstar ,

TVV or CRT are good trackers for old stuff, might have what you want.

liliumstar ,

I think so, but don’t quote me on that.

liliumstar ,

By definition, a remux doesn’t encode the video or audio, so makemkv generally does it’s thing correctly. If you want to make a remux, it’s eac3to and/or makemkv to collect it all together.

liliumstar ,

The methods really depends on which firmware version you have. Some are permanent, some are not. The one I’m using now for 9.0.0 is basically just:

  1. Load up cached website with exploit
  2. Click go
  3. Insert a specially formatted usb stick
  4. Remove stick after it tells me At that point goldhen is installed and can run homebrew stuff.

Make sure you set up the internet connection to use a DNS which blocks the sony update servers.

liliumstar ,

I’ve had a great experience with ovpn after Mullvad shut down port forwarding. You get 7 ports per account and the server I use is very fast. You can also purchase a public IPv4 with all ports open if you like.

Before ovpn I tried AirVPN. It’s a great service, but their servers are too busy/slow if you need a lot of bandwidth.

liliumstar ,

What about thousands?

liliumstar ,

I always thought it was the way it is so that you can still browse it through a text-based browser. If that’s true, is there still room for improving it’s ease of use?

liliumstar ,

Hmm yeah I can see that point, there is room for optimization.

Jackett's manual search is so, so good (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don’t look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it’s just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett’s manual search.

liliumstar ,

Yeah this is honestly how I find/download most stuff. Almost all trackers on I’m on have jackett support, and then I can choose the exact release I want.

liliumstar ,

Another +1 for gitea. It works quite well and is easy to setup.

Fully local nameservice

I’m finally starting to install local web apps that my wife/kids would be interested in, and I know it has to be super easy or they’re never going to go near it. Most everything is running on my Synology on different ports, with absolutely nothing exposed to the outside world, and I’d like to run local DNS and proxy so...

liliumstar ,

It’s fairly easy to add local domain names with pihole, so presuming all devices on your network are using it, you shouldn’t have a problem.

liliumstar ,
  1. Yes, I’d say they’re absolutely worth it. The main draw is you can get pretty much anything (unless you have very strange tastes) quickly, and be sure of the quality. Maintaining a ratio isn’t hard on most trackers with a credits/bonus system, so it’s usually not a worry if your upload is kinda slow. And you don’t really need to interview for movie/tv trackers. Probably joining a couple entry-level ones would be fit your needs.
  2. Most private trackers are very safe when it comes to malware, publics can be hit or miss. There is always a risk with binary content, which is why some people only grab scene releases for games and check the hashes. In either case, if you’re just grabbing videos you should be fine.
liliumstar ,

It’s done usually because of compatability. You can take a base layer HDR/HDR10 video, then extract the DV rpu, sync it, and inject it into the HDR stream. To answer your question, it is using both the HDR base layer with DV dynamic metada.

For webs, it’s usually P5, and the conversion is apparently good enough that it doesn’t make a difference for most people. For P7, you are going to lose the enhancement layer when encoding, but that’s the price you pay for saving space.

There are instances, especially with discs, when the film is indeed graded differently, but the good encoders/remuxers pay attention to this.

liliumstar ,

I would grab the hybrid yeah.

liliumstar ,

P7 has an additional layer, the enhancement layer. It’s currently not possible (far as I know) to preserve this when encoding, so it is discarded. You end up with the encoded base layer which has the DV rpu injected.

liliumstar ,

Yes I believe so

liliumstar ,

If you have one of those really annoying PDFs where the structure is all crazy or some letters are pictures, etc., it is possible to OCR them with a mask on page numbers.

There are also tools which can just extract the text elements and smush them together, but as others have said, this doesn’t always works as intended.

liliumstar ,

I was running a matrix -> irc bridge for a while and it would automatically upload and make small files available.

liliumstar ,

That’s my guess as well, but worth looking into to

liliumstar ,

Something like: One Piece S01 1080p CR WEB-DL AAc 2.0 H264-KAN3D2M

liliumstar ,

Check out veracrypt. It’s free and easy to use.

where are people getting fans-style content

With the collapse of hqcollect I’m not really sure where to get the kind of content one would find on manyvids, patreon, or onlyfans. This stuff seems to not really show up in indexers on Usenet (dog, geek, etc) or my preferred private tracker (ipt). I’ve even gone as far as digging into spotweb for this stuff. Am I just in...

liliumstar ,

I’ve seen a few ddl sites that host that kind of content, they’re all pretty sketch. There are some forums out there where people upload and there is a community (can’t remember any off-hand). Best bet is trackers, unfortunately for you.

liliumstar ,

pornolab is always open for signups, and russian. Happyfappy opens up frequently. Either than that, pornbay and empornium are the best, but harder to get into.

liliumstar ,
liliumstar ,

This is my personal strategy, works pretty well:

  • Grab a repack from fitgirl /dodi / kaoscrew via torrent when possible. Use the official sites.
  • Check gog-games, if it’s available without drm
  • Check rin (Steam Underground) if it’s not too large
  • Grab from GGn or whatever other private tracker might have it.
  • Get straight scene release, if available, as last resort.

This covers probably 99% of PC games, emulators are a different story.

As for getting started, grab 7z (an archiving utility) and know how to mount an ISO. Stay safe, don’t download from sketchy sites. Since you are dealing with executables, some things will look (and act) like viruses, use your best judgement.
