Francis_Fujiwara, w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?

If it’s for multimedia content, it’s safe, I guess. I have been downloading movies and series from that page for 5 years, and I have never had any security problems.

Good to know! I know it’s stupid and not at all the case, but I had read about a virus that ran on an old version of Windows when you open a file because Windows needed to compile the file to open it and the exploit took advantage of a vulnerability in that compiler to rescale to admin permissions, and I think about that when downloaded this serie.

You can hide malware in EXIF metadata.
Just let common sense and be always aware of abnormal device behavior.

wildbus8979,

There has also been a number of malwares targeted at codec decoders, VLC was at one time a big target, not sure that is true now a days though

pre, w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?
@pre@fedia.io avatar

@XeryBlox The first thing I would pirate would be a hacked version of Firefox that had ad-blockers in it.

If I can't get that then I'd think about abandoning the web for Gemini.

Saganastic,

You don't even need a hacked version. Just use an older version. Besides, Firefox is open source, I'm sure someone would fork off an adblock allowed version.

Blxter, w Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock?

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

FeelzGoodMan420,

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

That worked thanks.

Yglorba, 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.

spiritedpause, w Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock?

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

Neuromante,

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…

brickfrog,

Basically, the author of the project scrapes the torrent DHT network

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?

k_rol, w Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock?

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

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited ) w Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock?

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.

Neuromante,

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,

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

SomeBoyo, w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?

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

22rw,

Talking about modded apks, this one works for me:

bot had too much to drink below

Just keep scrolling

mateomaui, 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, (edited ) 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.

can,

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

sholomo,

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

supervent, w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

Mldonkey/amule/emule do not have any ad anyway

can, w A way to disable laugh tracks?

No doubt AI will be able to remove it soon if not already.

Now the practicality of that is another matter.

bullbrand, 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@kbin.social avatar

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, 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
