Are there available mods for playing DOOM 2016 and/or DOOM Eternal over the network without licenses? I have no problem creating a VPN to connect everyone. However, as far as I can tell there is no native support for local multiplayer, or even splitscreen.

Now that Denuvo is no longer included, I would be fine with buying one license for either game if it makes things easier by a significant margin. As far as I can tell though, each user would need a license, which is infeasible.

As a secondary concern, how do the two games' multiplayer features compare? I understand DOOM 2016 was better reviewed at the time, but is it worth the older other mechanics? I find DOOM Eternal's singleplayer campaign to be quite good.

And they wonder why people pirate games.

Hi, I need some music from amazon but doubledubletop is down since yesterday. Any alternatives?

Thanks for any help :)

I've tried to install the following games:

• The Last of us Part I
• One More Night

but for both, the game installation stuck at around 0.0%, so I think this is not a problem with games per se but maybe with my pc/wine configuration. The fun fact is that, a week ago, I was able to install Clair Obscure Expedition 33 without issue. Can anyone help me?

EDIT: I resolve this issue launching the setup through Lutris (here's a tutorial)

This is my pc configuration:

• ChachyOS with zen-kernel
• CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X
• GPU: RX 7800 XT
• 16 GB of RAM at 2133 MHz
• 1 TB nvme SSD

I tried the following fixes:

• verify BIN files before installation
• use the Russian language for the installer
• deleted any special character in the folder name of the executable and put such folder in a subfolder of the C drive
• install the game in a subfolder of the C drive
• limit installer to 2 GB of RAM usage
• every wine tricks in the FitGirl troubleshooting page
• use brand-new wine prefix

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized the domain names of several gaming-related pirate sites, including NSW2U.com, which has been Nintendo's nemesis for years. The operation was carried out in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, including the Dutch fiscal police. It is not immediately clear whether the action is linked to any arrests or indictments.

This link does not contain FontBase itself, so it should be fine to share. It's just a program that disables the subscription check.

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tkito16/de4be3b416d4428227851419f2dae009/raw/fontbase-crack.py

1. Install FontBase
2. Install Python
3. Save the above Python script as a file (keep the .py extension)
4. As with all downloaded scripts, check the script to ensure it is not doing anything malicious
5. Execute it (python3 fontbase-crack)
6. Restart FontBase

The specs of my laptop are i5 12450HX, 12GB RAM, RTX 2050 $GB VRAM, Gen4 SSD, Win11. And how long should it take it general to install it because I already cancelled it once when it took around 1.5 hours. It was using the whole 100% of my CPU which kinda scared me

So is it normal for it to utilize 100% of CPU for extracting RDR2?

If you don't want to be pestered with the notice box to donate to the tankie dev of Lemmy, you can plop this into uBlock: Origin to block the box from appearing.

Same company acquired two very similar apps.

One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year

So they "carefully considered this decision" by delisting the cheaper one for the more expensive one. Boom, 500% cost increase

Don't want to pay? Well, your files are hostage. Stop paying and lose your data.

Ps: remember the lie "subscription for software assures constant updates"?

The announcement serves as the final nail in the coffin for one of the iPad’s oldest and most popular sculpting apps, which hasn’t received any major updates since 2023.

So, i have a conundrum. I want to play minecraft, but I am absolutely seething at having to log in to my Microsoft account. I've owned Minecraft for over 10 years, but I've grown to despise Microsoft. I want an offline DRM-free Minecraft experience, and I've found versions of Prism launcher that support cracked game data, but I have no idea where to download cracked Minecraft. It's like it doesn't even exist. I'm tech savvy enough to download whatever game I want from the internet... except Minecraft??? Where is Minecraft?!

I'm also willing to simply download legitimate versions through my account one last time and then use a tool to crack them, but I can't find a way of doing that either. I beseech you, Lemmy users, how can I play Minecraft with my girlfriend without Michaelsoft being involved.

I have installed these softwares manually but still it didn't work out

DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer .NET Framework 4.0 Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x64)

So how should i fix it?

I'm trying to add discovery of new music to my self-hosted music setup. I scrobble to ListenBrainz and each Monday it creates 2 custom playlists: "Weekly Jams" and "Weekly Exploration". I want to get these imported into Lidarr so new music is available in my library.

This seems like it would be so simple, especially since ListenBrainz has a permalink to the playlist, and an RSS link to it. When I try to use the Lists feature of Lidarr, it only offers MusicBrainz lists, which isn't the same thing.

This seems like a simple gap that has to have been filled in some way, but I keep hitting walls. I just want a batch of new songs to be added each week so I can find new music I'd like. If anyone knows of a way to do this, I'd love to hear it. Thank you!

For me it's YIFY versions of older movies

The non believers must convert!

Thought I would share my simple docker/podman setup for torrenting over I2P. It's just 2 files, a compose file and a config file, along with an in-depth explanation, available at my repo https://codeberg.org/xabadak/podman-i2p-qbittorrent. And it comes with a built-in "kill-switch" to prevent traffic leaking out to the clearnet. But for the uninitiated, some may be wondering:

What is I2P and why should I care?

For a p2p system like bittorrent, for two peers to connect to each other, at least one side needs to have their ports open. If one side uses a VPN, their provider needs to support "port forwarding" in order for them to have their ports open (assuming everything else is configured properly). If you have ever tried to download a torrent with seeders available, yet failed to connect to any of them, your ports are probably not open. And with regulators cracking down on VPNs and forcing providers like Mullvad to shut down port forwarding, torrenting over the clearnet is becoming more and more difficult.

The I2P network doesn't have these issues. The I2P is an alternative internet network where all users are anonymous by default. So you don't need a VPN to hide your activity from your ISP. You don't need port-forwarding either, all peers can reach each other. And if you do happen to run a VPN on your PC, that's fine too - I2P will work just the same. So if you're turning your VPN on and off all the time, you can keep I2P running throughout, and continue downloading/uploading.

I2P eliminates all the complications and worries about seeding, making it easy for beginners to contribute to the network. I2P also makes downloading easier, since all peers are always reachable. And it's more decentralized too, since users don't need to rely on VPN providers. And of course, it's free and open source!

A fair warning though, I2P is restricted in some countries. And in terms of torrenting specifically, torrents have to explicitly support I2P. You can't just take any clearnet torrent and expect it to work on I2P. And the speeds are generally lower since there are less seeders, and the built-in anonymity has a cost as well. However I've been surprised at the amount of content on the I2P network, and I've been able to reach 1 MB/s download speeds. It's more than good enough for me, and it will only get better the more people join, so I hope this repo is enough for people to get started.

My VPN plan is up for renewal, and I'd like to move from my current provider (Privado) to one that supports port forwarding while maintaining access to a SOCKS5 service.

AirVPN would have been my choice, but doesn't have SOCKS5.

Private Internet Access checks off the boxes but I'm not familiar with the company behind it.

Thanks for the help and recommendations.

I'm looking for ways to download update the full APKs for emulation apps on Android (like M64Plus FZ Pro etc.). Where do I find them?

After more than a decade of timely updates, Google Search's takedown transparency report has stalled since mid-April. The absence of new data makes it harder for journalists and researchers to analyze these DMCA takedown efforts, which have increased significantly over the past year and a half. Notably, Google continues to send these notices to the Lumen database, providing some ongoing visibility.

After successfully fending off three subpoenas from filmmakers seeking user data related to piracy discussions, Reddit is back in federal court. The company is now requesting over $55,000 in legal compensation, suggesting that these repeated requests amount to an "anti-piracy publicity campaign" that chills lawful speech by Reddit’s users.

Hello comrades, I recently started to selfhost my own VPN. I thought of using a regular VPN provider but I don't trust the cheap ones and the good ones are too costly for my needs. So I started to rent a cheap one core VPS (DMCA ignored of course) for 2,5€/month. Before that I tried some seedboxes from some cheap providers, but the amount of control you have there was absolutely terrible. If they have SSH access, you have no sudo permission.

One of those providers I tried just deploys docker containers and then using some fancy marketing they make a good amount of cash from something that one can do oneself with a little bit of technical knowledge. And then when something doesn't work; good luck my friend.

So that's why I choose a VPS where you have maximum control. Setting it all up including security measures and a custom OS is very fun. My distro of choice is Devuan. I'm running a Debian based distro myself and having no systemd not only boosts the startup time, but saves some system resources, which is especially important on a server with 1 GB RAM.

Installing Devuan was quite an adventure. Navigating their website to find the right download is like cruising a wild jungle. After choosing a mirror to downloaded from, one has to check the name of the latest release. After that I selected "installer-iso". In there I grabed the netinstall. From there the real adventure began. Among the "standard stuff" I had to specify the DNS and netmask, nothing wild. I didn't installed a desktop environment of course, just the ssh-server components.

I then followed Wolgangs guide to setup SSH. Managing a computer without a desktop environment is something I never had done before and while on a desktop PC this can be a horrifying experience, it's really fun to operate a remote system via command line. For enhanced security I activated and configured ufw. Many distros comes preinstalled with gufw, so setting up ufw wasn't a big deal.

Without systemd many Wireguard install script doesn't work, so I installed Wireguard via docker-compose with the help of Christian Lempas wonderful guide. Amazing guy. I had to enter the DNS servers manually so that the actual DNS addresses of the server are used.

I tried to route IPv6 traffic through the VPN by entering the IPv6 address in brackets into the docker-compose.yaml, adding ::/0 in the AllowedIPs, but it all didn't worked. So I had to deactivate IPv6 on my system and in the network manager. This stopped all IPv6 leaks.

As killswitch I found this easy method. I tested it and it works. No IP-leaks anymore.

To prevent DNS leaks I found these commands: sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j DROP, sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 53 -j DROP. I tried the ufw equivalent sudo ufw deny out 53/udp, sudo ufw deny out 53/tcp, but it blocks internet access. I make the iptables persistent with iptables-save since iptables-persistent conflicts with gufw and ufw.

With this setup I started my torrent client and saw that I'm barely seeding. That's not cool. I tried to set up port forwarding with a lot of iptables and routing tables like this one but when checking the port it's always closed.

So what now? My goal is to torrent over the I2P. I see a lot of potential in the I2P. It is basically what people envisioned the internet to be in the 90s. Since the internet is a military technology, freedom was never implicated, so even with a lot of obfuscation and circumvention, there is always some trouble when using clearnet. My intention with the VPN is to port over clearnet torrents to I2P. Thus the reliance on VPNs can be decreased.
