One late night I opted to sign up to NewsDemon and abNZB to dabble into Usenet and done used my personal CC to authorize the payments, how screwed am I?

I obviously don’t intend to renew the services with this oversight, likely going to use prepaid visas from now on however, I have an itch that this will bite me in the ass.

There is a trend currently were fan translaters are paywalling the latest chapters, with poor translations. What are your thoughts on this? I don't mind asking for donations, but asking for money with mediocre translation is scammy.

I mainly want entertainment (Movies/TV) and Sky Sports to watch F1. DaddyLive was great but no longer works, just wondering if there are any alternatives as of right now?

As some of you may know, a new bittorrent tracker/site platform built with Rust/VueJS is in the works. Here is the announcement and a progress report.

When this started, my motivation was high and things went fast. I'm still very motivated to bring arcadia to a production-ready level, but I need at least 1 other "core" dev to work with me. Since this is a community project, I'm not expecting instant replies, daily commits, etc. But a buddy to share the pain and the fun with :) we are humans after all, social beings! Some people already made very nice contributions (and I thank you all again!), but it's not the same as having someone who knows the codebase well, can take informed decisions, etc.

So if you are (or know someone who might be) interested in building what could be the next big thing in the torrenting realm, please dm me here or on discord (@FrenchGithubUser) and let's chat! I will happily give more details and assistance for whatever is needed! Also feel free to post on your private tracker forums/irc to let other know about arcadia! I believe that coding with others is paramount for projects of this size!

Quick links:

• screenshots
• discord server
• github repositories

As a reminder, arcadia is a programming project, aiming at bringing a tool to the community. We are not going to host you typical private tracker (although some might). However, I recently rolled out a demo site for the ones interested in testing/developing arcadia. If you are interested, join the discord server.

Although my version of Bypass hasn't been updated for over a year, it has been working fine.

But my latest attempt to read the New York Times indicates that it has been detected and/or blocked.

When I try to update it via https://gitflic.ru/ I can't seem to manually update it either. Firefox says the file is corrupt when I drag it into the browser or update (add) file via settings.

I'm assuming it's because it's a zip file but when I unzip the folder there are no files in there that firefox recognises for me to add (only a changelog, licence and readme).

Can someone please clarify - for me and anyone else likely to encounter similar issues in the future - what I might be doing wrong.

thank you!

According to 1337x-status, they own the following domains:

The French Senate has passed a new anti-piracy bill that opens the door to automated IP-address blocking. This legislative push is bolstered by a parallel, "secret" agreement between sports rightsholders and major ISPs, which aims to automate anti-piracy efforts and streamline direct blocking requests. Rightsholders hope these new powers will help to tackle the "mafia-like" piracy economy.

I'm trying to find a cracked version of Tableau Desktop, but none of the DDL sites I looked at in the megathread had it. 1337x has some older versions, but I'm not sure if I trust them.

I had downloaded and installed the 2020.1.3 release on 1337x by FTUApps, but apparently they're unsafe since they released an infected crack a couple years ago. Is that specific release, dated two years before that announcement, safe? I only installed the application itself without implementing the crack file before seeing the announcement, but I did of course have to run it as admin, so I imagine I'm safe if potential malware is only in the crack file but infected if it's in the installer.

Either way, what's the most recent crack of Tableau that can be trusted?

Earlier this week, Japanese manga publisher Shueisha filed a DMCA subpoena application in the U.S., as it continues to pursue the operators of major pirate sites. At the very top of Shueisha's latest list is Mangajikan, a site that appears to have received 185 million visitors in May alone. In Japan, that made Mangajikan more popular than Instagram, Facebook, and ChatGPT. But right now, on what used to be its front page, is a very clear message: Website Closed.

"the girls are fighting, aren't they?"

Internet providers are increasingly tasked in the role of anti-piracy enforcers and instructed to block pirate websites and services. In Europe, court-ordered blockades are now commonplace, but ISPs are cautious when it comes to further expansion. In a recent submission to the EU Commission, EuroISPA, which represents over 3,300 ISPs, complains about "disproportionate" blocking measures, as recently seen in Italy, Spain and elsewhere.

When platforms like Facebook and YouTube receive takedown notices from a reputable sender, Japan's CODA for example, the vast majority of requests are usually honored. Yet, the responses from obvious pirate sites and more legally ambiguous platforms couldn't be more varied. Some refuse to act, period. Others have compliance rates higher than Facebook, YouTube, or TikTok.

Since spotify starting playing cat and mouse with revanced and xmanager users I tried Youtube Music. On PC I use spotx for spotify but I'm starting to enjoy ytm more and more, and I'm wondering if there's something similar to listen to it on PC.

If possible, something that's well known and considered safe.

Edit: I think there's the website with ublock, but does it work well?

Fresh data for 2024 reveals that while overall pirate site traffic dipped to 216 billion visits, the landscape is shifting dramatically. Publishing piracy is booming, largely driven by an insatiable global demand for manga. In stark contrast, both music and film piracy have tanked. Despite these changes, the United States remains the top traffic source for pirate sites.

mullvad and proton stand as vpn. However, mullvad does not allow torrenting because there is no port forwarding. Mullvad should not be on the list

As title says. I have a music.youtube liked playlist of over 3k songs and I would like to get them onto my phone. I have yet to find a way to do this just from the liked music playlist. Is it even possible?

There's no torrents available and no way to stream this show without being from the UK. Its a trans show called What It Feels Like for a Girl

I was planning to set transcoding on the M.2 by using a Pi M.2 Hat board. However, since the M.2 is already there, should I just use it to run the OS and downloads, too, or just use it as a transcoding consumable and media drive? This Pi 5 has 16Gb of RAM, so it might handle every bit of the transcoding regardless, but I have not tested it. I'm also concerned about latency between the main Pi board and the hat, connected with a flexible circuit board cable.

Also, anyone have issues with media storage on external drive when using Plex/media servers?

Equipment has been ordered but has not been delivered yet. Should come the next few days.

A lawsuit filed by educational publishers in 2024 accuses Google of profiting from textbook piracy. At the heart of the complaint are claims that Google's ‘systemic and pervasive advertising’ of infringing copies promotes pirated copies sold by third parties. In its recent motion to dismiss, Google argued that the publishers' vicarious liability claim fails to meet the legal standard. In an opinion and order handed down this week, the judge agreed - but not on everything.
