They have really put me off recently often even with adblocker ads show up on the page.

Read my other comment. Clear ublock origin cache and re update lists.

That worked thanks.

Yglorba, rok temu w So, Unity is charging game developers per video game install now...

The most hilarious thing about this is that, assuming crackers prevent Unity games from phoning home, the best way to support game developers would be to buy their game and then only play the cracked version, never installing the version you purchased.

The best alternative is one that you can self-host and/or isn’t centralized.

My favorite option right now is torrents-csv.ml, since it’s “a collaborative repository of torrents, consisting of a searchable torrents.csv file.”

Basically, the author of the project scrapes the torrent DHT network and compiles a csv of all the torrent magnet links into a CSV file that’s searchable on this site. You can selfhost your own private instance of the site by following the instructions on the repository here: git.torrents-csv.ml/heretic/torrents-csv-server

I saw it a bit of time ago… how safe it is? The access is not centralized, but the data it gets in it is, right? Or it is a service in the same webserver the one that does the scraping?

Will look into it when I got time… always is docker, jeez…

Is that accurate? Where is DHT mentioned?

Neither their github nor their main site makes any mention of DHT, also don’t see any DHT scraper in the git page git.torrents-csv.ml/heretic but maybe I’m not looking in the right place?

They do have to pay for their website somehow. One could argue you are not honoring other pirates.

A quick 2 second google of literally this exact issue and website shows to force update ublock origin lists btw.

Click purge all caches, then click update now. That usually fixes issues like these in websites. Not sure why.

Dang dang dang! We have a winner here!

Honestly, I got no idea were to find info about this situation (didn’t google censor this stuff?). Thanks!

FeelzGoodMan420, rok temu

I don’t think Google censored it at all considering I found the answer in 5 seconds lolol.

You might try a modded apk, but those can be sketchy at times

Talking about modded apks, this one works for me:

mateomaui, rok temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

yes, if pirating were more of a pain in the ass because of ads, I would still do it.

ghoscht, rok temu (edited rok temu) w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?

You can create a Duolingo class which you can then join yourself. This gets you unlimited hearts and no further ads on the mobile version (at least from my experience). Creating a class has no prerequisites so just try it out. If you still want to be able to view the public leaderboard there’s a setting for that in the classroom settings, but it’s disabled by default.

Edit: I’m not sure if there are any other ads besides the premium and family ones, I’m running PiHole so your mileage may vary. I’m only talking about those 2 which PiHole cannot block.

Oh, this is an actual option? I thought the other commenter was joking.

sholomo, rok temu

yeah, I can confirm it works. I set it up around 2 years ago and I still don’t have ads and have unlimited hearts

Now the practicality of that is another matter.

bullbrand, rok temu w What is your go to music grabbing solution?

Nicotine+ to grab what I want, EasyTAG to edit metadata, move the files to my self hosted instance of Ampache which I can then access either with SublimeMusic on desktop or SubStreamer on my phone if I’m traveling.

callyral, rok temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

Not much of a pirate, but I do like blocking ads. In that situation, here are some browsers I believe would still have ad blocking capabilities.

Firefox-based browsers:

• Librewolf (privacy-focused; comes with uBlock Origin)
• Tor (don't know much about it, but it probably would have ad blocking still)

Chromium-based:

• Vivaldi (it appears they have built-in ad blocking; closed source though)
• Bromite (mobile; not sure if still continued)

5ubieee, rok temu w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

the only case i could see it stopping someone is if they just pirate for funsies and have the disposable income to buy anything they want lmao. if you need something and cant afford it then inconveniences and annoyances don’t matter

ByteWizard, rok temu w [GUIDE] qBittorrent w/ I2P Support in Docker

Never head of I2P, sounds pretty cool. I’ve just stuck to encryption for torrents and haven’t had any complaints from my ISP.

geti2p.net/en/

Strict3443, rok temu

Glad to see that working still! Torrenting over I2P is sort of a fail-safe option for people in somewhat oppressive places where VPNs may be illegal. Also, with the recent port-forwarding removal in Mullvad, this makes it harder moving forward to try and seed content without being able to make a direct connection with open ports.
