Bypass Paywall Clean -call home

Having looked at various browsers and what calls they make, I noticed on Firefox and other android browsers that when Bypass Paywall Clean is installed from main source: https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean

It makes calls to gitflic.ru quite often wether using a bypass website or not.

Anyone know on what the calls are about and if they are legitimate and or what telemetry is being shared?

Hey all, I'm looking for the CMI plugin for the most recent version of minecraft possible. I do plan to buy it, but want to test it first to make sure it will work for my needs.

Does anyone have any good sources for premium MC Server plugins? I feel like it's a bit of a niche genre.

A fully VPN'ed family member got hit with an automated copyright strike and when looking into how it happened I found out that using the default qBittorrent config with a killswitch-enabled ProtonVPN meant that the home IP address was being leaked. I verified it through a few tools, including ipleak(dot)net's fake magnet link feature which showed both the VPN and home IPs when connected. I'm at best a tinkerer so I'm not sure if this is a Proton-exclusive problem at all, or if the killswitch useage is even relevant, but that's what they were using and figured this all might be worth mentioning since it was certainly a shock to us and not something we've seen brought up before.

The solution was to change which network interface qBittorrent was set to use via "Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Network interface". Which one to pick will depend on the protocol you're using in Proton's client, but unless you're confident in what you're doing I'd recommend testing each with the ipleak(dot)net (or similar) torrent tool until you're only seeing the VPN IP show up.

Hope this is useful! (and not common knowledge that we were just wildly ignorant of)

Hi, I need to download a few albums from apple music. All sites that I have seen only grab one song, and limit you after 3 songs or something, so grabbing full a album at once would be nice.

I dont have any subscription

Thanks for any help :)

Adult entertainment conglomerate Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, has filed a lawsuit against the as-yet-unidentified operators operators of PornXP. The company accuses the website of widespread copyright infringement. After obtaining an early discovery order to unveil the operators through various domain registrars, the case moves forward with site blocking as part of the requested remedies.

Hey there, I'm trying to launch RDR2 on PC and keep getting this error message:
"Red Dead Redemption 2 exited unexpectedly! Please visit https://support.rockstargames.com/ for more information."

So does someone knows how to fix it. I have read many forums and have watched many yt videos but nothing helped.

Here’s a screenshot :

The megathread has lots of great options for aggregators, but doesn't have any individual scanlation groups (Asura scans, Drake scans, Dragon tea, etc). Those are great for broad coverage, but when possible I like to read directly from the group that put in the work to translate.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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?

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

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.

Hi Electronic-Phone1732,

Reddit is a vast network of communities that are created, run, and populated by people like you. In order to keep communities welcoming, safe, and great places to be, everyone who uses the platform operates by a shared set of rules—a set of rules you may not have realized you broke.

Content removed for Copyright Policy violation

A third party reported a potential copyright infringement and submitted a takedown notice that affected the following:

Content shared from Electronic-Phone1732 on 05/02/2025 UTC

After reviewing, we found that the content violated Reddit’s Copyright Policy. Reddit respects the intellectual property of others and requires that people who use the platform do the same. Using Reddit to infringe on a person or entity’s intellectual property or any other proprietary rights is in violation of our User Agreement.

As a result, we’re issuing this warning, removing the violating content as well as crossposts of that content, and asking you not to break this rule again.

Reddit and its communities are only what we make of them together, and we want you to continue enjoying Reddit while helping your fellow redditors and communities stay safe. We suggest reading and getting acquainted with the Reddit Rules. A better understanding of these rules will help you avoid further actions from our admin team.

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.
