"Fellow pirates" that's the most suspicious ass thing you could possibly say here

[–] RandallFlagg@lemm.ee 61 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Copying an older comment of mine,

Download qBittorrent. Download Jackett. Configure Jackett to work inside qBittorrent. You now have a way to search hundreds of trackers all at once within seconds and find literally anything you want.

For Manga/Comics/Webtoons/Etc.:
Tachidesk on desktop
Tachiyomi on mobile.
These are both fantastic and allow you to grab manga, comics, etc. from pretty much every site you can think of to have it all in one place.

For Movies/TV/Anime:
Kodi + Debrid + Arctic Horizon 2/TMDbHelper + Fen + Otaku (resources: 1, 2; screenshots: album)
I love this. I can watch literally anything I want as if it was a netflix-like service, and don't have to use a VPN. Can even throw this on a shield/chromecast/firestick.

edit: tachidesk doesn't have a fit-to-page feature, but you can just use stylus with this:
img{
height:100vh !important; /* fit height of screen */
min-width:0 !important; /* also needed for fit height */
}
edit 2: Also, not really piracy per se, but Syncplay is great for watching downloaded content with friends.

Have you tried stremio + real debrid, I’ve been using that and wanted to see if there’s any benefits to switching to kodi.

This feels like something that should be used with a VPN. Be careful.

[–] vicfic@iusearchlinux.fyi 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, since it is just a an organised frontend for a multiple HLS streaming sources, I wouldn't worry about my IP leaking (it's not P2P).

Your ISP can only see the domains which you are connecting to, not the content that is transferred (cuz https).

If you are still paranoid, just route it through tor! It's just a website after all. (ik it's slow but it works!)

[–] jbloggs777@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except it's often not your ISP going after you, and https does not protect against everything. A few years ago there was a scandal in Germany when a moneygrubbing law firm took out ads on a porn site to get user IPs and the referer header, then sent demands to users for illegally downloading copyrighted material.

A court initially rubber-stamped the requests for IP info from the law firm.

A better judge/court clarified the law (streaming is fine in Germany) in that case and there were hopefully consequences for the law firm and the lawyers involved, but some suckers paid hush money first.

My main suggestion is to make your pirate searches using Yandex. Most book names "pdf" will give a result. You can also filter to only show sites of a specific language.

[–] zaknenou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

I mainly use yandex to search for image sources, it works better than sauce.nao for anime!

[–] Aram1s@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

PDF isn't an ebook format which is why EPUB is usually preferred.

[–] cybervoid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago
[–] bob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 year ago (9 children)

private trackers in general

[–] wolfnexus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The thing with private trackers is that theren't that many more people who can use it

If you have ever heard of IRC it uses that network to directly send files to you. Basically you need an IRC client then you message a bot for the file(s) you want it to send to you. There are xdcc search engines like sunxdcc and you can usually find books, audio, anime, etc.

[–] NicerLemmyUser@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im sorry for asking this but what is IRC?

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its an old school chat protocol. You can try it for yourself kiwiirc is a website that lets you chat with IRC. You need to pick a network, Rizon is a good network to start with. There are a bunch of different commands you can use but the only ones i found useful are /msg to send a message and /join to join a channel.

For the downloading part you need a client that supports XDCC, and then you can use these commands with your bot of choice

You know I just thought about sharing my entire piracy bookmark folder (while excluding some subfolders and/or sites) on Brave Android, is there any way to do so?

[–] Neeen@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Most browsers have a setting that lets you export your favorites as an HTML file.

For any metal/rock music, I use getmetal.club

For comics I use getcomics.org

EDIT: took away the www, and actually spelt "get" right which should fix the links. Sorry everyone!

This list comes in useful for people who are not tech savvy to stream shit. Just make sure they have some form of adblock for sure. https://fmhy.pages.dev/videopiracyguide/#dedicated-hosts

For playing videos: An AppleTV4K with the Infuse app. Just point it to your network share and it builds a library and plays back pretty much anything. It’s also incredibly user friendly for roommates or family to use.
