SeaJ, do piracy w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Geez. Hetzner is super affordable.

Anyway, as others have mentioned, Jellyfin is not a centralized service so that is not something they can do.

The Red Dead port is pretty awesome because it's Red Dead, runs well, and looks good still. No dynamic resolution abuse here! Having Red Dead poker on the go is awesome, and while the lack of gyro aiming is a bit sad, it's got that standard Rockstar hard snapping aim assist, so as long as you're okay with that, then it's no huge deal.

That’s good to know. I played it on PS3, and not in a mood to play it again, but great to have it for anyone who hasn’t played it before, or may want to play it again.

It's a good fit for a portable system, surprisingly, due to all the different activities. You can throw it on, run a couple bounties or just play some cards, and put it back away.

When they eventually put it on sale I'm sure it'll be more appealing to more people, the price is up there, but they really did put work into the port job and it shows.

johnthedoe,

I played 2 first without play 1. Now I’ve started I was immediately connected to Marston. But also adjusting to gameplay will take a while. 1 after 2 feels like a stripped back mobile version of 2. Still enjoying.

I kinda like it, but I'm also used to it since I played them in release order. I like not having to worry about replenishing cores, I like not having to cock guns after firing them, I like being able to hold infinite animal skins and such, and that you just sell everything and don't need to worry about crafting and stuff.

2 is awesome too, but it leans more sim and 1 is more "arcadey" is a short way to explain the difference.

sub_, do gaming w What's your favorite example of developer's foresight?

2 game franchises came into my mind

  • Zero Escape series, since I replayed it recently, and managed to skip some steps. It’s a flowchart game, so developer’s foresight is kinda needed.
  • Metal Gear and anything by Hideo Kojima, I just found out while researching for this reply, that in Death Stranding since you can create pee grenade to damage BT, you can even pee on them directly.

Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.

Really great piece of software

Yes! Audiobookshelf is great!

Grandsinge, (edited )

Just wanted to give another upvote to audiobookshelf. It’s a great audible replacement and allows for local downloading and server syncing. Great project!

superkret, (edited ) do piracy w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?

The data will be safe to play on a linux box.
Whether you’ll be safe depends on where you live and whether you have a VPN in a different country.

I had to fight off a law suit for over 2 years over a single movie I torrented someone on my network allegedly torrented from Piratebay (Germany).

Xirup, (edited )

Fortunately I live in a country where they don’t care about piracy, but maybe I misspelled the question, I meant “sure” it can’t contain some kind of virus.

And I guess you won the lawsuit? On Reddit I remember that people would commonly say they got those law suits but people would always suggest “don’t do anything about it because they were just warnings”.

superkret,

Yeah, “don’t do anything” is horribly advice, at least in Germany.
I managed to avoid the lawsuit by showing the lawyers who wanted to fleece me that I had legal representation and collected enough evidence in my favor to make it difficult.
All they had was a file and an IP address.
It was a back-and-forth of letters between me, them and the court, which eventually refused to formally open a trial.

Any more advice for a fellow torrenter in Germany regarding linux isos (hey lawyer ;))

Using a seedbox from abroad to avoid local downloads.

superkret,

Torrenting Linux ISOs is legal and doesn’t violate any copyright so there’s nothing to worry about.

superkret,

The way they catch you is by downloading a complete “Linux ISO” you seeded. Their log from that download shows your IP and that’s the evidence.

So either don’t seed a complete “ISO”, or use a VPN from a provider that will laugh at info requests from German lawyers.

Safest way is to make sure you only torrent Linux ISOs that can be legally shared according to their copyright license, of course ;)

Chewy7324,

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a complete iso, but a part of the “Linux ISO” is enough. Since your still helping others complete their “ISO” illegally.

Well already using a seedbox located abroad.
I will just hope it won’t be linked back to me lol :p

spiderman,

I had to fight off a law suit for over 2 years over a single movie I torrented from Piratebay (Germany).

How serious was it and did you hire a lawyer for that?

superkret,

Yes, I hired a lawyer for consultation.
Since I was very poor at the time, I could get the cost for it reimbursed from the state, after laying bare my finances in front of a judge.

As for the seriousness, the legal firm moving against me had opened a case before a court in Munich (500km from where I lived) and I had to plead my case in writing to the court.
Next step after a lot of legalese back and forth would have been a summons before the court in person, which didn’t happen. The letters just stopped.

In the end, I paid 60€ for fees and postage. They had wanted me to pay 2000€ to settle and my lawyer told me if it goes before a judge, worst probable outcome would have been 600€ in court and lawyer fees.

Chewy7324,

Yes it’s inexcusable in my opinion that they want over 1000€ for a single movie. 600€ is still a lot of money but asking so much more than the “damage” is obviously worth is just…

I heard of some people who actually paid the fine they were asked for, since they didn’t know better (it wasn’t them but an exchange student from a country where torrenting media isn’t an issue, or so they said).

Finished Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg!

Most of my notes about this game are on my comment from last week, I finished it shortly after posting that and got the “Legendary Pair” ending. Pretty fun game, even it was kinda short and simple. Also, the time limit was no issue at all for me - I ended up running out of things to do way before I ran out of time.


Started Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe

I was originally planning on starting a new VN, but had a rough week and wasn’t really up to doing a lot of reading.

So I picked up something simpler and relaxing. So far it’s great, it’s very similar in structure to the 3DS games which I loved. Finished the first two “Worlds”, then spend a lot of time playing those silly minigames at Magoland.

Same here, had a rough week. Thinking about playing something that doesn’t require much thinking, maybe couple of games of F-Zero 99.

And it was IA’s increased activity during the pandemic that spurred the current trouble. Brewster Kahle is a saint.

Pearlescence, (edited )

That’s what I read as well. You would think they would’ve gotten some leeway since it was done during an event comparable to war and they were following the footsteps of other digital libraries. They had a pretty stellar reputation and system in place for nearly a decade already, so I can only assume that they were simply waiting for an opportunity to target them.

koper, do piracy w Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?

It seems like this order is rather limited and the IA can continue almost all of their work.

Pearlescence,

I hope this is where it stops. Current laws aren’t too favourable towards projects like these and the IA depends heavily on donations so I don’t think they’d be able to withstand multiple drawn out court battles. I’m just waiting to see what gets affected exactly and to what extent.

I didn’t say it was dead, most of its domains were seized by the US, so they were in fact run off like dogs. I made a post a month or two back mentioning the new domain they have.

Lmao I’m so sorry! I realised afterwards what was happening, but have no idea how to fix it since I’m still fairly new to Lemmy. I hope it didn’t inconvenience you too much!

ColdWater, do piracy w How to get into private trackers
@ColdWater@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s the best part, you can’t

IDeserveToBeLoved,

You absolutely can. A good portion of popular trackers have periodicall open signup events. Torrentleech has fairly often open signups. It’s big so it isn’t that easy to build up your ratio when you’re a drop in an ocean, but when you do it can open doors for some more prestigious trackers, although TL should be enough in 99% of cases if you aren’t into some (less popular) niche content. Watch r/opensignups on reddit if it’s still alive and soon enough you’ll be on too many trackers.

notepass,

I think /r/opensignups closed after the blackout

toxictenement,
@toxictenement@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Theres r/trackersignups and the telegram channel r/opensignups migrated to of the same name.

notepass,

Thanks for the info!
I just checked trackersignups and found something spicy :)

It seems like r/opensignups telegram channel is just a bot posting the contents of /r/opensignups to it. So it is dead as well.
