Introduction to sharing A fellow surfer here. Is there any guides to free stuff, I know there was before. I know about soulseek and nicotine+, I use torrents (last update of qbittorent was pain, had to roll back and lose some stuff) I know that in reddit there is a front facing communities of some of them. I know about REDacted, TorrentLeach, some local some very big russian ones. But I have a question is it still posible to help annas archive or z library not only by donations? I love sharing I also know DC++ remember gnutella and edonkey. So I ask a general tips and tricks to bring some more joy into sharing. I asked new kids on a block, and some never figured out what to do after you download a torrent.

Linox ISOs are goated for this! I know Usenet was used to transfer text messages and stuff in the early days but not so much nowadays. Also, I know this topic is more nuanced than this, but I just wanted to make some humour out of it, that’s all.

What are we doing for magazines? Saluton, new here! I have everything automated except magazines. I am not familiar with scraping, was hoping there would be something automated. I have Pressarr set up at the moment but can’t recommend. LazyLibrarian also had a lot of problems.

What do you guys think of P2P torrent search engines, such as tribler? I think we are playing a very long hide and seek game with torrent being so reliant on trackers and web indexers/communities, they close some, others pop up, and the users are dispersed, and younger generations never learn how to pirate. In the long run we are losing. I think we really need a fully peer-to-peer search mechanism, integrated to torrent client, and despite the difficulties, I think it is possible to have something that is permissionless, yet safe, based on a distributed, Sybil resistant, reputation system. I think tribler search feature is a good start, but it’s tor-like privacy features makes it too slow, preventing its widespread adoption (and given the search is basically trusting the peers, it would be overwhelmed with garbage if it became mainstream).

qBitTorrent kills my VPN, Transmission does not. How to troubleshoot? cross-posted from: leminal.space/post/41927223 I’m noob at Linux (it just works), so I have no idea how to start troubleshooting this weird issue, any help appreciated! The setup: stock EndeavourOS, ProtonVPN, qBitTorrent bound to the VPN interface (and Transmission); the issue: if qBit is running, no matter the load or the server (I have access to P2P-enabled servers), it kills my VPN connection in a matter of minutes, Transmission does not. It is reproducible, launching qBit means getting disconnected, without fail; the timeline: no issues since I installed EndeavourOS (a year and a half or so), it started happening five to seven days ago, though since a few months ago I would get the same disconnection while qBitting, but only once a day and only while I was away and the system was locked, after I came back to it and reconnect, stable until shutdown. In the months between I haven’t made any changes to my system, just got a new GPU a year ago; what I tried: I initially though it was a VPN app problem, so I tried reinstalling it, both native and flatpak, after deleting all of its data of course. Transmission works but I prefer qBit so I’d love to go back to using it. Where do I start troubleshooting? I currently can’t be at my PC, so I can’t troubleshoot “live”, but I figured posting this early means more people seeing it and getting more input. Thanks in advance! ip link (VPN, no qBit): pastebin.com/RtwDqiEN ip link (VPN, qBit): same identical output (verified with Kate, EndeavourOS text file reader) journalctl qbit: pastebin.com/e2XCgGKy journalctl PVPN: pastebin.com/DiPBvP5W dmesg: empty for both “torrent” and “proton” sudo dmesg -l err: virt/tdx: TDX not supported by the host platform

Personal VPN possibly in an inconvenient location? So I set up a personal vpn on a droplet on digitalocean for piracy. However, I seem to have set it up on a server in singapore, which seems to have strict copyright laws. Should I migrate the droplet onto the London or Frankfurt servers instead? (I live in the EU).

Trackers for educational content? Are there any private trackers that have or specialize in educational content, like lessons on how to learn guitar?

Trusted Ableton Releases? Tried out R2R releases on rutracker, potentially they’re false positives but I ended up with a few viruses. Also noticed changes in system behaviour. Who is reputable? Couldn’t find a section on it on FMHY either. Doesn’t need to be the newly released 13, 12 is more than sufficient. Thanks chooms

Downloadeverythingfromeverywhere not working anymore? I was quite happy with the site downloadeverythingfromeverywhere (it’s on fmhy if you are curious), but for a few days now it doesn’t seem to get any links anymore. Every time I click on download I get this error NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource. Both for older and new titles. Anyone know if the site is just non-functional from now on or is this temporary?

do you think reddit will eventually block piracy subs? and if it does will people come here or no?

How long should I expect a NAS to last? First off, I’d normally ask this question on a datahoarding forum, but this one is way more active than those and I’m sure there’s considerable overlap. So I have a Synology DS218+ that I got in 2020. So it’s a 6 year old model by now but only 4 into its service. There’s absolutely no reason to believe it’ll start failing anytime soon, and it’s completely reliable. I’m just succession planning. I’m looking forward to my next NAS, wondering if I should get the new version of the same model again (whenever that is) or expand to a 4 bay. The drives are 14 TB shucked easy stores, for what it’s worth, and not even half full. What are your thoughts?

Running fitgirl repacks (HV cracks) on windows guest and Linux host. Is it possible to have a Linux host and Windows 10 guest (with defender removed and offline) to run a fitgirl HV crack? The first time I tried setting it up (with defender on) after executing VBS.cmd Windows still complained about the non-signed driver. (Using virt-manager with qemu on Linux mint btw) EDIT: Tried @DNXJELiL@pixeldrain.com in qemu, no dice 😢 Whenever I try launching the game windows just reboots. Non HV repacks work as they should.

Webtoon paywalls are surprisingly rarely circumvented through piracy I recently picked back up reading comics and webtoons after years of having mostly forgotten about them, mostly because I missed reading some of my older favorites. And oh dear the paywalling is so much worse than it was back when I left webtoon. If I want to read an ongoing comic on Originals, I have to use the app. Fine, whatever, I can wait until it’s over. But if I want to read a finished comic, I have to read it on the app and I have to watch ads or pay to unlock every episode, and paying the webtoon currency is absolutely impossible. 20 to 25 coins per episode. The coin prices are absolutely outrageous, which I wouldn’t mind paying if they actually went to the authors, but particularly webtoon sucks at giving creators a fair cut. So I give up and download the app to watch ads so I can read the 200+ comic I wanted to read but I come to find the ads don’t even work! They load for a full damn minute and then they just send me back to the start page. So I go through all the usual troubleshooting and still nothing works. I’ve had it up to here with their freebie scam crap so I try looking for other site versions of the webtoons I wanted to read, but there are none since most are not in english and they’re not popular enough. This has been a four day fight that has left me insanely frustrated at something that used to be a nice relaxing hobby. The only good thing that I think has come of my little adventure is that now I’m extremely curious if anyone else around here has noticed the lack of high seas alternatives to those money hungry shit habits. I couldn’t really find means to remove the paywall, either, so I also wanted to see if maybe some more experienced pirate has a direction to point me into; and if anyone may have anything they wanna discuss about webtoon’s practices and the ethics of pirating media that is primarily made by independent artists.
