It seems that Google is still obsessed with the idea of turning our portable computers into a cheap iOS imitation made for social media addicts useful only for data collection and ads and little more... What do you think wil be the future of Android about installing not only cracked apps or useful mods like ReVanced, but even open source apps that are better than the subcription-only ad riddled messes we have...

Yeah Google, because security is when you restrict the user from installing apps on their own expensive device, at this point, iOS seem more and more palatable with each stupid corporativist decision from those "safety, privacy and security" folk, nothing to do with taking away freedom from the user...

I'll start: Poland - piracy is actually legal as long as it's for personal use and heck you can even share it among your friends/family by law.

Seems perhaps a little backwards to me but maybe there's a good reason

Has anyone else here had an issue with their free spotify premium mods? They are all broken for me, and it suddenly happened like 15 minutes or so before writing this.

So I know Im getting mocked for this as I am an absolute newbie and probably gets asked a lot here but worth the try I guess...

After doing some research on this page megathread I found a pge listed by this sub called audiotools "dot" in as a (I believe) a trusted source. My intention was to try and download software from their page on an Imac. My plan was to download the file as Direct Download and run the keygen with some wine distribution. The imac is running on macos catalina (pretty old), but the installation of software had no problem. I didn't try runing the keygen cause I wanted to be sure the file was clean (as many discussion have listed the site to have had viruses on the past). So I did what was listed on the megathread to try and check the file on virus total and the image show the results of 47/75 antivirus found malicious software on the keygen.exe. Having said this here are my questions.

Is this an obvious malware and should be discarded?

Is it possible that all are false positives cause the nature of the file being a keygen makes the antiviruses raise automatic red flags?

And an extra question, would running this exe make the keygen work (asuming its clean), and if it's not clean would it be able to run the trojan on macos?

Thanks in advance for accepting such a dumb question

Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well!

Just wanted to share something I’ve been working on recently - , a new sports streaming site where you can watch live games for free. Right now, we are ad-free for the first month, so it is a great time to check it out.

The site is still pretty new, so if you notice any games or sports missing, feel free to request them in our tg or discord (links can be found in the website menu). Also, I’d love to hear any suggestions you have or if you run into any issues, just let me know!

Appreciate the support, and hope you enjoy!

from what I know denuvo isn't impossible to crack but they chose meticulousness & inconvenience as their form of prevention and succeeded with halting piracy of the games for now. My question is though what happened to those who were doing it? I've seen rumors of arrest, people getting hired by denuvo, others doxxed, and a bunch of drama but no real answers. Did the demand for cracking AAA games die out because of denuvo or do they just not consider it worth the effort?

After reading the FAQ on massgrave.dev (That is the correct site, right?), my understanding of HWID activation is that it just uses a Hardware ID to generate a ticket to the Microsoft servers. Even the docs say that this is easily patchable.

So. Like. Why not do it?

Hey everyone, some context to add to this title, I'm a software engineer working on a paid software I'll release soon.

It is a self hosted gallery similar to Picasa but improved in a lot of ways and focused on privacy for the user.

I'm starting to implement a license verification and was wondering how to make it to not be a headache to the end user. And after a while I started going through the rabbithole of "if a random dude do that it will compromise the license verification" and I just don't want to make it a whole prison for the user just for the sake of blocking John Doe Pirate.

So here is my question, what would make you not pirate a software and actually pay for it?

Note: seeing the negativity toward monthly subscription (as I expected), I think I'll offer a one time payment with a possibility of monthly payment for it instead. The goal of the monthly subscription was mainly to offer continuous support to the project and allow the user to pay a small amount monthly instead of a huge payment once and I overlooked the "you'll own nothing and be happy" part of it.

I saw a post on /r/plex asking how people who use Plex app their only streaming service are doing it. I got halfway through writing up a response detailing my server setup before realizing I was on the Plex subreddit, not the Piracy subreddit, and that I was being a little too detailed for polite company.

It's a good response though though, and I wanted to share it, so I'm posting it here.

I cancelled everything and only use Plex now.

After I got a laptop, I used the parts from my gaming PC to upgrade my server, so it has a Ryzen 7, 16 GB of ram, and a Nvidia GeForce 1050. The video card does a good job transcoding video, especially for people watching from outside the house, as there are multiple external users. The CPU is useful for doing sonic analysis on my music to have better radio stations in Plexamp, as well as other tasks like generating video preview thumbnails.

I put two 12 TB hard drives in for a total of 24 TB. The two drives are in a single ZFS pool mounted at /mnt/data so I can access all of the data from one mount point. I'm planning on adding two more 12 TB hard drives soon because I ran out of storage while building my music library.

I know keeping everything in a single pool with no parity is bad - I plan on getting more drives one day and using a raid config with proper parity, but for now I just have a backup script that syncs my personal files and media that is hard to find to Backblaze B2, probably about 12 TB in total.

I have a docker container that runs transmission and routes all traffic through ExpressVPN. I also run NZBGet, a Usenet client, set to use Newshosting as a provider over an encrypted connection.

I'm running Radarr (for movies), Sonarr (for TV shows), and Lidarr (for music). All three of those have NZBGeek and Nyaa.si as an indexer. For Lidarr, I also have Headphones as an indexer. I run Jackett so I can add 1337x and a couple of semi-private trackers as an indexer. They are all set up to use Transmission to download torrents over VPN and NZBGet to download files from Usenet.

I use nzb360 pro on my phone (Android) to manage the collection and downloads. I can add TV shows or movies to Radarr or Sonarr in the app, and then Radarrr or Sonarr will search my indexers for the files, send them to transmission or NZBGet for download and import them when they are done.

I can add artists to Lidarr the same way, but most of my music comes from import lists. I have an import list that syncs with my Spotify playlists and followed artists, and import lists to grab the top 200 artists of several last.fm tags. The result is a couple hundred thousand songs, mostly from artists I've never heard. They all have sonic analysis done by Plex, though, so I have an amazing ability to discover new music from the radio and "similar tracks" feature.

I know there are a lot of improvements that can be made on this system. Jackett and NZBGet have better alternatives, using tidal-dl, ect, and I plan to explore all of those soon. I also want to run something like calibre-web and get things like books, audiobooks, comics, and manga. But it's been really fun just to get it this far, it's the only thing I use for video now, and it's pretty close to replacing Spotify, too.
