chepox, w jellyfin with subtitles on Chromecast

Plex will cast to a Chromecast with subtitles. It will also fetch them if you don’t have an SRT file in the folder of your video with the same name. Lenguages is also selectable at the time of fetch. I do not pay for pro. Nonetheless, I have not tried jellyfin and cannot tell you if it is possible there or not. My guess is it should.

pineapplelover, w Android Game Popup Ads

Disable internet connection. Try netguard or something.

Bombastic, (edited ) w Android Game Popup Ads

Idk if lucky patcher still exists, but i used it for a while.

If its an online game there’s not much to do.

If its an offline game that shows ads when you’re connected to the internet, then you can install a private local vpn like Tracker Control to specifically disable internet access to that app.

Invizible Pro also works iirc, but that might be overkill for your purposes.

Private DNS like NextDNS others didn’t work correctly for me but YMMV

I’m guessing not, but in the offchance you’re using one of the newer Chromecast with Google TV there is a Jellyfin app you can install

Apeeksiht, w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

Pirated hades. Played for some hours, had a blast. Bought it on sale and now I’m still playing.

samus12345,

Wish I’d pirated it first. I bought it on Switch after the glowing reviews and played a while before deciding it wasn’t for me.

Apeeksiht,

It gets better the more you play actually. The hidden features unlock after few playthroughs.

samus12345,

The sticking point is the boss fights. I learned from loving Rogue Legacy and not liking Hades that I really hate having to do long, drawn out boss fights over and over again even after beating them.

ninjan, w Rockstar selling you cracked copies on Steam

I love the implication here, that they don’t have the proper source (or skills left in the company) such that they can remove the DRM which doesn’t play nice themselves so they rely on a cracked copy of the game instead. Been quite a bit of news lately about how game companies have failed to keep the original source code for their games. Diablo 2, the Transformers games etc and those from active companies, there’s bound to be 1000s of games where the source is lost due to publishers closing down studios.

lemann,

It’s a complete crapshow IMO.

I still have the source code for the simple stuff I developed over 12 years ago, but these organisations don’t think it’s important to hang on to source code and assets for something they plan to make money from?

Really telling about the attitudes towards software outside of the FOSS space and datahoarder communities, and more importantly how little the management/publishers actually care about the product.

Although to counter that, I’m aware of at least one situation where the opposite has happened. One of my simulation games for example is really buggy and isn’t able to receive more updates because the studio behind it voluntarily disbanded, leaving the publisher without access to the source code (I believe the publisher Aerosoft has tried to get a copy of the source to provide further game fixes, but the individuals behind the disbanded studio could not come to an agreement on this)

JackbyDev,

I’ve had teams not bother to keep proper history when moving from subversion to git and I’ve also had a DevOps team entirely wipe the history of a new project just because cloning took a long time (and refused to attempt shallow cloning).

So the idea that a company just lets their code “rot” to the point of not even having it anymore because it’s just some legacy thing from over a decade ago is totally unsurprising to me.

rolaulten,

Just to pile on. I’ve seen devs throw out the entire git history when moving between repos for ongoing projects.

Logical next step, hacker sues the developer for copyright infringement?

planish,

The crack might not actually be protected by copyright, unless there’s substantial new code added.

VieuxQueb,
@VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca avatar

I mean, they didn’t even bother to remove the signature!

EnderofGames,

I don't know about Diablo 2, but Blizzard is so shady and messed up nowadays that I wouldn't be surprised that they "lost the source code" to prevent modders being able to port games, etc.

As for transformers, it was never lost (PCGamer, if you don't like Xfire). Hasbro claimed they wanted to provide access to legacy games, but completely made up that the source was lost. Now that we know that the source is still available... well, Hasbro clearly hasn't tried to rerelease those games.

(note: I know this is the same company, Activision Blizzard in both cases. For anyone reading who doesn't know, they were not the same company for the release of Diablo II, and a good amount of time afterwards.)

Ganbat,

I’d say they probably still have the source. It looks like they did the same thing for Manhunt and Max Payne, but then pulled older, pre-SecuROM exes from their archives when they got busted.

rektifier,

Even if they have the source, they may not have all the build tools anymore.

Or they have the build tools but the wizard that set up the build system back in the day no longer works there.

Or they have the build system archived and documented but it doesn’t run because some license expired, and the tool vender doesn’t sell that version anymore.

In the near future, there will be another possibility - SaaS cloud tools that are impossible to preserve so they are forever lost.

ninjan,

Very true, and even if they could replace/remove libraries and dependencies that muck up the build process there are no guarantees that it’ll play the same. So many games rely on strange quirks to function the way they do that would be nigh impossible to replicate purposely.

Confetti_Camouflage, w Why are categories basically useless in qbittorrent?
@Confetti_Camouflage@pawb.social avatar

Tools > Preferences > Downloads > Saving Management

Change “Default Torrent Management Mode” to automatic

https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/d980de24-a190-46c9-a569-300ee4d3b890.png

counselwolf,

what does this do?

rambos,

It will move files to location you have set in category settings. If you are using sonarr it can automatically set tv-sonarr category and then qbittorrent will move it to your tv shows folder.

Confetti_Camouflage,
@Confetti_Camouflage@pawb.social avatar

Qbittorrent will save downloads to the assigned category’s folder instead of manually specifying the download location each time.

solberg, w Is there a good source of mac software?

Cmacked but you’re going to have to deal with lots of ads and direct downloading

EliasTheOG, (edited )

There is uBlock Origin and FilterStalker for these Ads ;)…for DDL I found Real-Debrid is an excellent investment.

janguv,

What about the actual files there – risk of malware/viruses?

solberg,

I’ve not gotten one. I think macOS is less prone to viruses than Windows, but there’s always a risk.

Rearsays,

It seems all the software versions I’m looking for have dead or paywalled links. The only thing worse than paying full price is paying for cracked software that might be riddled with backdoors and not have a warranty or anything.

cyberpunk007, w Automated torrenting and Plex Docker image, for Pi setup?

You might have a hard time on a pi if transcoding occurs. Use something like pymedusa and couch potato for automatic downloads of tv shows and movies, and something like transmission for a torrent client. They all have docker images. Check out linuxserver.io

fleet.linuxserver.io

ChrisLicht,

I have limited grasp of transcoding, but there are just a few of us hitting the Plex server, and everyone is using Roku TVs or Roku boxes, which I thought were generally okay with most current file encodings, but maybe I have that wrong.

Awwab,
@Awwab@kbin.social avatar

You should be fine as long as you aren't trying to play 4k, there is an additional feature where you can disable transcoding as an option in Plex.

Check out this guide if you want to go down the docker rabbit hole.

ChrisLicht,

I’m def going down it, thanks! Bought a couple of Docker books and am watching intro videos now.

rambos,

wiki.servarr.com

I think you want portainer, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr and qbittorrent

ChrisLicht,

Thank you! My challenge right now is grasping how to get them to talk to each other in Docker.

antlion,

It’s a private tracker. They want proof that you’re a good standing member of some other private tracker. So they’d want to see that you seed and have a good ratio.

They have an IRC chat. If you had skill cracking apps or something they might let you in that way.

Im28xwa, w Where do you guys download pirated android apps from ?

I recently stumbled upon platinmods dot com, don’t know whether it is safe though so a comment from someone who knows about this site more will be appreciated

Azurebalmunk,

It’s safe. I would stick to the approved/verified and tested mods sections of the site.

a1_15, w dayum...

this is stremio on android

Diabolo96,
  • Try Cloudstream.
  • For anime and manga saikou is just too good.
  • Revanced (what if lucky patcher did actually work ? )
Drinvictus,

What does cloud stream have over stremio

Diabolo96,

For starters, it scrap sites instead of torrents so you don’t have to worry about that old show having no seeds. But it’s not a matter of either having one or the other, you can have both !

Justly0250,
@Justly0250@lemdro.id avatar

Wasn’t Cloudstream shut down?

Diabolo96, (edited )

Yes, twice and No, piracy apps are like a hydra. Plus, It’s not one guy doing all the work it’s a community !

catsup, (edited ) w Lucky patcher guides?
@catsup@lemmy.one avatar

Honestly the best guide is within lucky patcher itself. Open luckypatcher and then tap on the question mark icon in the top-right corner. There you’ll see an explanation of all of the features within luckypatcher. There’s also a guide for creating your own custom patches.

Happy cracking!

SurpriZe,

Great. Thank you. And have you generally found it useless to try and crack without root access these days?

yum13241,

Yes.

newIdentity,

Nah. It still works sometimes. Try using the “restore purchache” option to enable the pro version of an app

catsup,
@catsup@lemmy.one avatar

It depends on the app, really. If the app verifies the purchase server side, there’s nothing you can do to bypass that. But if the app you wanna crack is just a game that doesn’t need internet, it works 9/10 times. With root, it works pretty much 10/10.
