VexTux, w Lucky patcher guides?

Is lucky patcher safe? I don’t feel safe allowing root permission on closed source software

LufyCZ,

Nice thing is, you don’t have to. It’ll still patch the apk for you, it just won’t install it (having root allows it to overwrite the current app, allowing you to keep your data)

Apollo2323, w How do the Debrid services get away from copyright?

This is what I found from a Reddit comment: Debrid services literally are just like if you downloaded from the share website directly, as if you had signed up for an account with them. And/or the debrid service downloads the torrent on their server, and you stream from it.

This is already protecting you from any potential legal issue.

Some people may get warnings/potential legal trouble for torrenting directly, but this is only because when using torrent you also become a hoster of the content yourself. This doesn’t happen with these.

janguv,

Think you’ve missed the point a bit of OP’s comment. They’re asking not how the end-user is protected from copyright claims, but how the debrid service itself is.

Apollo2323,

Yes you are right lol well I hope it was helpful from somebody else.

I guess it would, aside speed, this is another big reason for some users to get it, as a third world country person I couldn’t care less about torrenting, nor data caps now that I remember 🤣

Apollo2323,

Lucky you :)

@be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social avatar

Ah Sony Music is involved.

Remember the time Sony Music installed a rootkit on peoples' computers via commercially purchased CDs because hacking paying customers' computers seemed like a good way to combat piracy?

@sab@kbin.social avatar

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this.

Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released an uninstaller for one of the programs that merely made the program's files invisible while also installing additional software that could not be easily removed.

And then they just paid some settlements, recalled some CDs, and continued to operate as if nothing has happened. Bloody hell.

I remembered there was a Part II to the story that made it even worse, but did not remember those details. Should have read my own link! Thanks for highlighting that because it truly is the icing on the cake.

SIGSEGV,

Yup, I got rootkitted by those fuckers just installing their bullshit software for my mini-disc player.

pcjones, w [HELP] Setting up a Jellyfin server with different (remote) storage servers

I also use a Hetzner Storagebox for my Jellyfin instance, I mount it via SMB. Works great.

Pulp, w How do the Debrid services get away from copyright?

I assume they still handle DMCA notices. So nothing wrong legally

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

What do you mean by “handle”?

Apollo2323,

So since Real Debris just like YouTube its a legal service , if you upload a movie to YouTube and a company send them a notice to take down that movie , YouTube will take it takedown and company happy :) the same is with Real Debrid.

But man, the scale should be way lesser then, I mean, that have never impacted me to watch stuff, either if it is old or new content.

Spotify is unusable without premium Xmanager

JCreazy,

Is what someone would say if they didn’t know any better.

MaggiWuerze,

Using Spotify without premium, as Spotify offers it, is unusable. There might be other options than paying, but the vanilla Spotify experience is horrendous

JCreazy,

That’s fair

JokeDeity,

Just installed via xManager after your comment and now I can’t log in…

Madbrad200,

Join their discord, it’s helpful. I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t let you login, shame because it really is the best ATM.

gc_, w Stream any torrent in sync with your friends

Could anyone tell me about how torrent streaming works? Is it just the file being downloaded to a server and streamed to a bunch of viewers, or something else?

Spacellary, (edited )

I use WebTorrent / WebTorrent-CLI and it basically streams/partially downloads the torrent and plays in your player of choice.

Not sure about this other option here.

technomage1, (edited ) w Android Game Popup Ads

I’ve been using nextdns.io with great success. It let’s you customise your settings and gives you a personal URL to paste into your private DNS

7Sea_Sailor, (edited ) w [HELP] Setting up a Jellyfin server with different (remote) storage servers

Why go all this way to build this stack on German hardware under the constant risk of being found out by copyright holders and being fined hundreds if not thousands of euros - when you could just get a seedbox that’s automatically configured for exactly this purpose and can run all the apps you need? Look at ultra.cc for example, they just work, don’t cost a lot of money and don’t annoy you with DMCA notices. And if you dislike their price or anything else, there’s limitless options out there.

retiolus,
@retiolus@lemmy.cat avatar

Hi, why ultra.cc? And why don’t they cause DMCA issues?

7Sea_Sailor,

Ultra is what I personally have been using for a while now without a single problem. But as I already said, there are plenty of other hosters with the same featureset, though I cannot make specific recommendations - but the seedboxes community on reddit may.

Regarding the DMCA, usually these hosters base their operations out of countries with lax or nonexistant copyright laws, allowing them to simply disregard incoming takedown notices. In Ultra’s case, they claim to forward copyright notices to the respective server owner, but I have yet to receive a single notice. Though I’m also exclusively on private trackers, maybe thats a reason too.

ShortN0te,

How should they even know? How should they prove that you are in posession of that data? Yes Hetzer most likely has to respond to reports but again how should the rights holder find out? Just because they find a jellyfin server in the wild? Even if the site is not SSL protected they are not Man in the Middle the traffic.

freeman, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

Interestingly the game is downloading for me. I have had it in my library for some time now.

Is it saying its been pulled for new sales only?

https://lemmy.pub/pictrs/image/274830cb-8072-442e-891b-5e86b7880b99.png

apprehensively_human,

Pulling a game from the steam store does not stop people from downloading it if already in their library.

freeman,

Ah. That makes sense.

Sibbo, w Ubisoft has quietly pulled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from Steam

Yeah but why? Does it cost money to keep the game available?

BearJCC,

Opportunity cost, possibly. They might be remastering it and wish to sell it at a higher cost, or think they can get more money through a different retailer.

GunnarRunnar,

That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn't be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can't compete with a ten year old release.

WarmSoda, (edited )

A lot of publishers remove the original game when they release a ‘remaster’. Burnout Paradise, Metro Last Light, etc

whodoctor11,

Perhaps to make people pay for the new one.

520,

That makes no sense. Black Flag is a completely different genre to modern AC.

whodoctor11, (edited )

Didn’t you read the post? They are probably doing a remaster or remake and don’t want people to buy the old version…

520, (edited )

That would only make sense if you a) had a competing product on the market or b) at the very least actually announced one. The remaster/remake is a mere rumour, we don't even know if there's substance behind it.

hyorvenn,
@hyorvenn@jlai.lu avatar

Hosting your game on steam is indeed not free, and the price can vary greatly. It may not be the reason of the removal though

this is one of the reasons i’m afraid to visit japan. not just immigration.

and btw, fair use isn’t a thing over there IIRC. not that would had mattered as gameplay recordings are very derivative.

happyhippo, (edited ) w Now you have to pay to see lyrics on spotify

Could someone kindly ELI5 how to lidarr-ize my liked tracks from Spotify, please?

My collection there is quite static and I think I’m a good candidate to go MP3/AAC/whatever 🏴‍☠️ plus Spotify free just to keep up to date with newly released singles/albums from time to time.

Thanks!

P.S. also what comes after would be great, i.e. how I can batch transfer all those files from my home server running lidarr to my Android phone/PC and keep them in sync after the initial transfer. Plus also a nice feature rich Android app, either free (no ads) or even better open source with an accessible price.

butter,

Skip Lidarr for your initial move. Use Deemix. You can find links to premium ARLs on the wiki or with a google search (or DM me).

Deemix has an option to sign in with your Spotify account and download playlists. There’s a weird song count limit, and you may have to manually hit some tracks. But this is the way.

You can also do Flac with this setup. You don’t necessarily need it, but if you’re making the move, I recommend it. Since Flac is lossless, there’s never going to be an upgrade.

butter,

Also, if you’re up for the self-hosted life, what comes next is a music server. If you have good access to WiFi or unlimited data, this eliminates storage as a bottle neck. I recommend Navidrome. But something like Jellyfin or Plex can do Movies and TV, if you want a 1 size fits all.

If you’re not, look into Syncthing. You chose a folder on your computer and one on your phone and this app keeps them in sync. After that, my favorite player was GoneMad. It’s offline, with real support for music tags. This allowed song ratings and real smart playlists

happyhippo,

Thanks!

Yeah I forgot to mention that I’m already living the self hosted life, I got a small home server with the arr suite, jellyfin and a few other containers.

Didn’t know about syncthing, I’ll definitely check it out. Same for GoneMad 👍🏻

Thanks again!
