Klystron, w Movie-web: A self-hostable web app for watching movies and shows by displaying video files from third-party providers

Lol wtf how is this legal? I just typed in office space and it started playing

Keeboy,

It’s in that weird gray area as it is playing from illegal sites it just removes the usual ads and stuff

Klystron,

Lol idk how removing ads and just rehosting the video is a gray area but whatever works for me… I figured when I first clicked on it, it was like a watch party kind of thing. Like I post a video file then whoever I want can watch it with me… Not just pulling video files from other sites lol. Still, seems cool and is super slick

Octopus1348,

They do not rehost. It’s still coming directly from the illegaé sites.

abbadon420,

Newpipe is in that gray area too and they’re still going strong despite the best legal efforts from youtube.

Mojave,

Homie, you are on a PIRACY community.

ItsaB3AR, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

Been using proton for torrenting and other use, it’s been great. Connect to Switzerland from USA with good speed and security. I use them for email so I got a good package deal.

pre, w How is pirating software a thing?
@pre@feddit.uk avatar

Worth noting that paying for a license for software doesn’t stop it being spying malware either. In fact the pirate versions often take out the spying and the reporting-to-homebase that proprietary software does.

The photoshop that phones home to check a license is arguably more malicious than the pirate version that has been cracked so it doesn’t do that.

alexg_k,

Good and valid point. I use opensource software wherever I can.

Though paid software is not going to encrypt your data for ransom or use a keylogger to steal bitcoin (yet).

NullGator,

There was an antivirus that was caught running a bitcoin miner in the background tbf. If memory serves it was Norton?

You know it’s bad when the almost constantly unhinged ‘Empress’ is the one speaking sense.

Response from the admins

From where I’m sitting it looks like classic overconfidence. I would say keep your eyes open in the future but don’t pick up the pitchforks just yet.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Thanks. This community needed your logical input. I’ve been following this over the past few days and it seems like a blatent Reddit-type pitchfork situation. Based on the mods response and the absolute lack of proof surrounding the mods profiting from the crypto miner (honestly who the actual fuck even came up with this?), I think we need to all take a beat.

Also I don’t follow cracked games but this Emperess person seems like a fucking psychopath and the fact that literally anyone here believes a word she says is absolutely astonishing.

I am asking this community to PLEASE STOP REPOSTING THIS. Don’t let this community follow the ways of Reddit, please. We are better than that.

dream_weasel, w Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem

Is there a good FOSS e-reader platform? I was considering moving from nook TO kindle, but now you’re giving me pause.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

PineNote is one of the only ones I can think of with an e-ink display.

fmstrat,

KOReader. Even runs on jailbroken Kindles

DonnieDarkmode, w 5th Edition D&D books?

This is from the community on Reddit. You should be able to grab the torrent file for whichever 5e book you want from there. I would also recommend 5e . tools like the other commenters, even as just a separate reference; as a DM I’ve found it way easier to pull things up quickly, even if I legally own the book that has whatever spell/mob I’m looking for haha.

generalEdo, w 5th Edition D&D books?

Not sure if what you are looking for is in here.

BurnerPhone867,

Checked there first, that was always my alt to the trove

averyfalken, w My 2tb jellyfin server with a disney collection go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I miss the days I only needed 2 tb

xtremeownage,

For me, that would have been over 15 years ago. Even my NAS from 2014 was pushing 16T or so.

thepianistfroggollum,

Yeah, I’m at 28T and I’m eying some 18T drives for an expansion unit.

xtremeownage,

Just wait until you get where I am… I am pushing north of 140T of overall storage right now, lol. And, it keeps growing.

Evil_Shrubbery,

I wish them nicely quiet Red Plus drives would go to to 20 or 22TB.

DemSpud,

They do don’t they?

grinde,

Current biggest is 14tb

DemSpud,

Ahh my bad, I was thinking of the Red Pros

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve had to start trimming things, but I can’t get rid of hard-to-finds. It’s mostly new shows, I’ll only keep recent seasons.

I can’t lose shows like Captain Star or Duckman, but I probably don’t need every season of Westworld.

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

I hope you’re seeding those hard to finds!

Omega_Jimes,

I was but after two reimages I’m not even sure which torrents they were.

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

This is why they are hard to find! Where’s the dedication? 🙂

HeneryHawk, w Publishing New Torrents

You’re going from a source of an encoded x264 and reencoding (the already encoded file) as x265?? What are the results like?

Most people encode from a high quality source like a remux, rather than an encode

heartlessevil,

Yeah, a lot of private travelers will not accept doubly-lossy encoded files as a rule. So you can’t just go from 264 to 265. You need the original lossless file.

To OP, yeah, you want a seed box. Both to pin the file up and host it for a while, and to preserve your anonymity (the original seeder is under particular scrutiny.)

rah,

a lot of private travelers

What’s a “private traveler” out of interest?

HeneryHawk,

It’s a typo, supposed to say “private tracker”

heartlessevil,

Auto correct typo of private tracker. Sorry.

rah,

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying.

pastermil,

Looks good to me… I’d be happy to take some feedback tho

HeneryHawk,

It will depend a lot on hardware and/or software but I’d bet users would see some artefacting, ghosting, and general noise when they play your x265 file

As another comment pointed out, an encode of an encode is banned on a lot of trackers… Or at least an encode of an already pretty lossy encode (x264) won’t be allowed

Does the filesize change much?

pastermil,

I was able to shrink down the whole thing from about 120GB to 90GB

ApatheticAlligator, w How can I find my schools Adobe Premiere/Photoshop Elements 2020 key?

why risk stealing from your school when cracking exists?

Sharpiemarker,

Exactly. OP, whatever you’re thinking of doing is an incredibly bad idea and very illegal.

hoping, w 5th Edition D&D books?

Rizoid, w Music labels sue Internet Archive over digitized record collection
@Rizoid@programming.dev avatar

All these lawsuits do is show me new cool stuff that Internet Archive has.

@fear@kbin.social avatar

First the Streisand effect led to her home. Now it leads to her entire discography. Poor Barbara Streisand.

conditional_soup, w The Internet Archive might reach a deal with the publishers to remove THEIR books from the lending library

Yeah, you know, that [checks notes] one copy of a book that the lending library was able to lend* was really eating into their profit margin. Honest to God, they probably spent more money on lawyers over this shit than they’ll ever recoup, and it just makes them look stupid, greedy, and stupidly greedy.

*I think it’s one copy per actually book that’s owned. Just like you can’t lend you friends more copies of a given book than you own.

lukas,
@lukas@lemmy.haigner.me avatar

The publishers have called the Archive’s program a front for mass copyright infringement.

Digital libraries are a front for mass copyright infringement, according to the publishers :)

But for real, what’s the difference between a digital library that artificially limits the amount of books they lend out to the amount of books they scan and a traditional library? I can go to my local library right now, take a book home, photocopy the book at home, and return the book to the library. Not as high quality as a digital copy, but still.
