igg-games has been caught bundling malware and miners before, 1337x isn't moderated for shit, torrentfreak is a news site, jesus christ don't use pirate bay what the fuck is wrong with you, but otherwise solid points.

soulseek is lit, nyaa is legit, and for all else [email protected] and the megathread @ https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/10901

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s not even the right url for 1337x

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

the right URL btw is 1337x.to

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

it's one of the mirrors, but yeah.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1337x is compromised, nobody should use them at all anymore

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

not moderated, so people often post malware there iirc

I don't know exactly how defederation works, but the megathread is currently hosted on Rentry in case you cannot view the piracy community link in app/website while signed in.

rentry(dot)com(slash)negathread

Be warned, though, that it could change if any government or corporation or whatever decides to go after it just because there are links to piracy sites.

I never thought I’d see the day where someone used too when they meant to. It’s always the other way around.

It hurt my eyes reading this mess.

If you think any of these mistakes are an accident, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s an intentional shit post.

general tip; use fitgirl rather than igg

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IGG has a reputation for putting malware in their cracks, whereas fitgirl has been a reputable repacker for years and uses safe cracks, they also warn you if there are issues with that particular crack they repacked

Sweet, thanks for the heads up!

Friendship never begun with Plex! Jellyfin is my only friend!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was a super early adopter of Jellyfin because Plex was going to shit. It’s amazing to see how much it’s grown in just a few years.

Soulseek...

Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Next you're gonna tell me Limewire still going or is it GNUtella now? I forgot I'm old and brain not worky right.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Soulseek is still a banger

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I actually just switched from soulseek to Nicotine +. Itsna fork of soulseek but updated more frequently.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but soulseek is the network, soulseekqt is ehat you migrated from

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did not know that at all!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

limewire ran on the gnutella network

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep I remember that cuz I was getting into open source at the time and that's when I found out GNU had a Limewire client and that's how I used it in SuSE Linux (boxed distro, pre-Novell). I got my pirate copy of WineX from it lol

I bet gnutella is just malware now. You had to double check file sizes cuz there was a lot of 18kb files with the same name as exes and popular MP3 tracks.

Is it really unethical if modern publishing and copyright is unethical in the first place

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Good point! I fixed it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

bs.to has got all my favorite tv shows. Best streaming service ever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nyaa is quite solid

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't need hard drives though. You can just use Webtorrent or Stremio.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

true but imo harddrives are more convient: portable, universal, zero setup. annoying having to predownload tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ahhh, my old winxp code.
