I’ve found TNT to be a safe release group, but I haven’t had much experience with cmacked.com. If it is unaltered from TNT’s original release, I would presume it to be safe.
Software cracks often register as malware. I think it is a combination of an attempt at copyright protection, plus the fact that many cracks are essentially breaking, blocking, or spoofing the registration of the software to allow an illegitimate version to run. Just because it says it thinks it is malware doesn’t actually mean that it will do anything malicious to your system that you didn’t already intend for the pirated software.
If you’re super nervous about it, install it in a VM and see what happens.
file or disk encryption is only for protecting against attackers with physical access to the machine your VM is running on. Getting files from your server to local storage you should still use a secure connection and encrypted traffic to prevent ISP snooping, but going extreme on file encryption isn’t necessary unless you’re downloading actual heinous shit (CSAM) in which case you should go to jail.
Why would you need file encryption?
Not like having a drive full of movies is illegal…Except if OP has CSAM stuff inside. Than it should be very encrypted in case of loosing (or not depending if OP wants jail time).
Holy shit yeah lol. Obviously nothing like that! I was confused as well why anything other than the generic Linux full disk encryption would be needed.
This would be in a server closet, so not on drives that I would be transporting copyrighted media into other countries anyways.
Not like I don’t agree. Those vile people should.
But something like that or actually confidential stuff you don’t want others to see is a valid reason to encrypt it.
FDE is for physical attackers, it would have nothing to do with torrenting unless you’re really intending on pissing off every single criminal legal authority and not just worried about civil suits from copyright holders.
Nah. If you piss off the executive branch in your country, then they can more likely than not force you to hand over the decryption key. Plausible deniability doesn’t exist when an encrypted drive of likely illegal content chills there in your room.
Good idea with rutracker, I forgot about that site actually! It’s been ages since I’ve seen actual GTA IV and EFLC ISO installations for real, and download is reasonably fast too. Thanks again!
I have found that most torrents on rutracker are pretty well seeded in general, even the old and obscure ones. It is always the place I go when I can’t find something somewhere else.
That’s because Russians see the value in the collective good: everything for everyone. The majority of the globe just hits and runs on torrents because we got ours, fuck everyone else.
Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg
Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)
It allows for managing indexer/tracker from only one place for all *arrs. I usually set the apps to “Full Sync”, so I never change anything in each of the apps (e.g. radarr).
It also provides some statistics, like how many file grabs each indexer gave you compared to others. This might help to decide which of the paid ones are actually useful (useful for usenet indexer).
If your not resource constrained (e.g. rpi), I’d recommend prowlarr. It makes things more streamlined imo.
I’m not the OP, but I had wondered the same thing. After already seeing up the other *arr’s I couldn’t work out the point of Prowlarr.
Re your comment about resource constrained, I have just started using Sonarr and Radarr on a Pi4. They seem to work OK. Had installed but not set up Prowlarr yet. Hopefully that wouldn’t slow things down if I used it to sync the other apps.
My point was mostly about the added RAM usage if running prowlarr (or any other additional web server). It’s probably not an issue with Pi4s since they have more RAM. I’ve seen prowlarr use quite a bit CPU while syncing, but that was only for a short time.
Most of the old scene thought of cracking DRM in games as a challange within themselves, and did it for the competition. Skidrow’s thoughts align with this mindset. You can’t blame skidrow for that.
In the case of Linux I strongly recommend that you never use installers or repacks, which usually have a high probability of failure with Wine in my experience.
I can’t confirm right now because I haven’t downloaded Starfield yet, but try to only use portable versions of games, like the ones Steamrip offers, where you just download a .zip and you’re all set, just run the .exe in Wine and play as if it were Windows.
Although Starfield is currently not available on Steamrip, you can find a portable version of Starfield on Rutracker.
The only problem I have encountered using installers/repacks with Lutris is that they sometimes can’t create the installation folder. Creating it manually in the .wine folder is the only workaround I have found.
The speed can fluctuate as users pop on and off a server, but in general I have gotten excellent speeds (100mbps+). If ever I am getting poor throughput I swap to a different random server until I get what I need. I do not torrent with it though so I am not sure how it fares with that use.
I have not. Especially with the desktop client, which automatically will switch to another server if you get dropped. As far as speeds, I’ve also never noticed a problem but my bottleneck is my ISP so it’s hard to know.
I can’t speak to the paid ProtonVPN service, but their free tier doesn’t allow torrenting. They’ll disconnect you with a slap on the wrist error about it.
Thanks, I will check it out tomorrow. I uave used pyfiglet in the past tbf so I figured it woukd be available either via the official repos or the AUR.
it’s typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that’s not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.
¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)
I pirated a cracked version of Adobe Acrobat Pro recently. First thing I had to crack in years. It had a sketchy crack installer , with music and everything. Like it was back in the 90s. Of course it worked perfectly lol.
