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

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you do, fellow pirates?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wonderful weather we’re having, fellow pirates

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.

Does Prowlarr work in a similar way?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yes, it but doesn't integrate into qBittorrent like Jackett does. Jackett is more for manual searching, prowlarr integrates better with other *arr services.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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

I still use Vuze. I never see ANYONE mention it. But I've used it for near 15 years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there like any advantage of vuze over something more mainstream like qbitorrent?
