I wish pirating subs was easier! That would be my second most if true

Yeah it’s hard to find them for Asian stuff particularly

Classified Docs to post on my Warthunder Account so I can win a debate.

Educational content. I'll get udemy or pluralsite content if I'm studying a topic. It has helped me earn certs and stay informed on different tech.

Its been as easy as searching stuff like YAML or AWS on tracker sites. There is a surprising amount of content. I even got some cool cooking content from Master Class

Audiobooks! I buy the books but I'm too lazy to read them.

That’s 3d printing files right? Where can you pirate them and what wouldn’t be on thingiverse?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a ton of commercial/locked-behind-patreon stuff, usually around things like RPG scenery or figures and such.

Like, an immense library of shit that's not free.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh yeah, like 40k stuff? Where do you find this stuff? I have access to unlimited free PLA

Check out kemono.su / kemono.party. They're a patreon(among other subscription service) archive site that makes use of crowdsourced keys. It'll initially look like 110% porn, but you can often find other patreons there if you search those specifically, such as those for 3d printing stls. It can sometimes be hit or miss whether they properly archive downloads, but they're usually a worthwhile option.

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

I don't have a specific place; just some of the private general-purpose trackers I'm on will occasionally have someone come by and dump a pile of STLs from various places on them.

(The private part, unfortunately, means I can't actually share more, sorry - fight club rules and whatnot.)

Depending on your political views you could download open-source files for guns in case they get taken down

That's not really piracy, is it? I'd say it's more like censorship circumvention.

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

True, but it still has lots of parallels

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Why have I never thought of that...

Boardgames.

I am still to actually print them. But I have the files.

RPG books. These I actually have them printed.

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

Interesting. How much do you spend to print a typical core rulebook of say, the coastal magician type?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

B&w around 2-3 cents/page, depends on the amount of ink coverage.

Then binding is free where I do it, and shipping cost. Maybe 5-10€ depending number of pages. I did like a bunch of books at once to reduce shipping.

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

That’s really cool actually

Boardgames I found a discord room.ñ, it's about the "boardgame engine videogame" but they post assets of real boardgames.

RPGs, there's a Telegram group with a name like this mineral.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

backups of books I have bought with ebooks..

Foliate on linux is a great ebook reader

(or KOreader on both androix linux - this setup allows you sync your page progress)

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

Might be controversial, but I pirate OnlyFans content (porn). I ain't payin a monthly subscription for that shit. Telegram is pretty great for that.

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

I don't think I'd like to admit to anything. But during my research, I found large compilations of leaked passwords, sheet music for not so popular music instruments, vintage software and abandonware...

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

For a while whenever I took breaks from typical games and music, I'd go after software. Old software like Photoshop CS2 for example, just for nostalgia's sake.
