JustEnoughDucks, w 2023 Paid VPN Relationship and Corporate VPN Ownership Map
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

A lot of the top VPNs on here as well as less known VPNs seem to have much less connections.

(protonVPN, Mullvad, and PrivateVPN for example).

Cool site! Though it isn’t too good on mobile because it forces the map into a window 1/4 od the screen size 😅

keepcarrot, w 200mb episodes are good enough!

I am a data hoarder and endorse this message.

leaf244, w Downloader for paid streaming services

I got StreamGaGa Netflix Downloader. Nice tool. The 3-time free trial is enough. Here is the official web if you need streamgaga.com/netflix-downloader.

deegeese, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

The irony of the straw poll site throwing up an anti-adblock banner 🤣

glad_cat,

I have a VPN and I can’t vote.

balderdash9,

That’s self selection bias if I’ve ever seen it

jvrava9, w What are good mullvadvpn alternatives with port forwarding

I use AirVPN as well

randint, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

Mine is not blocked yet. I am definitely worried about this though. I am in East Asia.

Wonder how much YouTube is going to squeeze out of this ad blocker blocking.

Thisfox,

I recommend trying something like AdNauseum or similar. I get the idea they haven’t reached us yet, only people reporting this are in the US so far.

LoafyLemon, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

Remember when some people said we're nuts thinking Google will try to ban ad blockers with manifest v3? Yeah.

HerrLewakaas,

Google will try everything in their power to stop us from blocking their ads. It’s their main source of revenue, you don’t have to be a genius to see why they don’t like ad blockers

jarfil,

Wouldn’t this show that they failed, if they have to recur to site-based adblocker blocking? Clearly v3 hasn’t stopped people from using Firefox, yt-dl, or whatever.

LoafyLemon,

The Gecko Engine (Firefox), holds a user share of 4%. When compared to Chromium's (Google Chrome and its clones) whooping 72% (roughly) user share, it's clear that Firefox has limited relevance to their business strategy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:StatCounter-browser-ww-monthly-202011-202011-bar.png

jarfil,

(according to latest statistics, Firefox would have an even lower share)

My point is: if v3 were effective at neutralizing ad blockers in 75% of the user base, or even 95% since Safari is supposed to get on board too, why are they developing additional countermeasures?

Or has Safari decided to do like Firefox, and still allow full ad blockers?

LoafyLemon,

I reckon that blocking ad blockers isn't some extra countermeasure here. It's actually right in line with what Manifest V3 and that new environment attestation system are all about. They're basically making sure that if you tinker with crucial bits of the JavaScript -- stuff they see as essential (like anti-adblock) -- you won't make it through the attestation and you'll get blocked.

They don't want to block all modifications because that would be a hindrance to many users, for example the visually impaired. However, anything affecting their bottom line will probably be blocked.

How that will affect Firefox? I don't know, maybe nothing will change for us, or perhaps Google will block Firefox altogether. We certainly know they're capable.

jarfil,

Yes, attestation is in line with V3 changes, just that it makes them irrelevant: YouTube’s website could some day ask for environment attestation of “no extension using the intercept hooks”, or “only the approved ones”, and still have the same effect. The fact that they’re implementing a server-side anti-adblock now, while postponing V2 deprecation over and over, makes me think the V3 changes are a flop.

Firefox… would likely require Mozilla to play ball and implement similar attestation in an official binary attestable by the OS. Edge too, just so MS doesn’t mess with Chrome’s binary attestation on Windows.

Safari already has attestation, without extra parameters, but it could be extended:

I think so, but don’t quote me on that.

ParanoidFactoid, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??
@ParanoidFactoid@beehaw.org avatar

Ah. I see yt-dlp will be my good friend again.

PeterPoopshit,

This. When YouTube finally succeeds in making it impossible for anyone to use their website without watching ads, they probably still won’t succeed in preventing people from downloading for offline viewing. When this happens I’m going to invest in making scripts that autodownload stuff ahead of time and I’ll only watch whatever videos are in my home network.

Im not watching their brainwash bullshit ass propaganda. I’ll find other stuff to do for entertainment before I give in to ads.

Steak,

Fuck ads. I put in a decent amount of effort to make sure I see exactly 0 seconds of ads per day. So far going strong.

On top of the other comments, your private tracker will have a tutorial/rulebook on exactly how new content should be labelled. It's worth checking that out before you start experimenting with encoding quality options.

WeAreAllOne, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

Check out windscribe, they have port forwarding. Proton is great too. If you’re on windows setting up port forwarding with their app is a breeze vs Linux which they are developing better at current.

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

I'm currently having a dumb issue if you'd happen to have some insight. I have windscribe. I'm using linux (debian). I installed the Windscribe package from the site and I have the same GUI I'm used to from Windows.

When I connect to my static IP, my ethernet IP doesn't change.

How do I ensure that I'm on my static IP in Linux so that I can actually use port-forwarding? Because at the moment I cannot turn on my VPN and have Plex, Overseer, any containers accessible outside my network. I can only see them on localhost. Eventually I'd like to get a domain redirect, but that's a separate issue that will be easier once I have a solid answer on getting my VPN always on and split tunneling in it set up properly.

I'm losing my shit here cause I can't find anything about this dumb problem online and it's such a simple thing that I'm used to just working lol.

Leaving that for posterity. I reread your comment. Their Linux app so looks to be parity equivalent with Windows, I believe both use your account online to set up port forwarding. However CLI Windscribe I believe is missing the option. But in any case, what you said my be related to the issue I'm having.

Anyway, fully +1 on Windscribe. I've been using them for years and they've always been quite to respond, transparent with what they've been served, and were active online on forums. Used a +50 code for quite some time and finally wanted unlimited and port-forwarding so I bought a sub and a static IP. Seems well priced as well, I'm paying about $25/year I think.

DivisionResult,

About tour técnical problem.

Just setup staticip un /etc/network/interfaces.

Search thatpath and static there is a lot of material about it.

(:

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

I did do that but then my global connection to Plex stopped working entirely and localhost stopped working as well. Granted, I hadn't set it up to the VPN's IP yet!

I'll keep this in mind for the next run, thank you so much!

DivisionResult,

Nice you to know its running. :)

@WigglingWalrus@feddit.uk avatar

How come they’ve stopped?

Grandsinge, w HDD Health and things of that nature

Look into snapRAID. It does parity based data protection (up to 6 I believe). It’s free, opensource. I use it to run a nightly sync and scrub of ~3% of my total disk space, so in a month it scrubs everything to protect against bit rot. It then shoots me a nightly email with any errors or issues it detects. There is a learning curve, but I’m happy to provide some basic scripts for you to get it running in Windows. You can also run it on top of pooling solution such as Drivepool.

I’ll look into this. I appreciate it. Probably down the road ill set up True NAS or set up some sort of thing with ZFS but have to kinda get more acquainted with all the programs and stuff associated with their use.

Pulp, w Whats your preferred codec?

@dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Here is some basic info en.wikipedia.org/…/Pirated_movie_release_types

As someone has said it pretty much goes [Title][Year][Resolution][Source][Codec(s)-Video/Audio][GroupName]

Title and Year: self explanatory

[Resolution]: 1080p, 2160p, HD, UHD, etc

[Source] Bluray, Webrip, Web-DL, Streaming-Provider, Cam, etc…

[Codec]: This can be a lot but kinda depends on what the uploader wants to mention/bring attention to


<span style="color:#323232;">         Video: x264 (AVC) or h264, x265(HEVC) or h265, AV1,  x266 (VVC), etc...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         May also include stuff like : 8bit (SDR), 10bit (HDR),  DV (Dolby), Hybrid
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         Audio: # of channels (5.1, 7.1)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                     Codecs:  Will tell you if the audio is lossless vs lossy
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                     Examples DTS:X, TrueHD Atmos, DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, LPCM, FLAC [lossless] vs. DTS-HD HR, E-AC3, DTS-ES, DTS, AC3 [lossy]]
</span>

Group Name: Name of group or person that made the file.

Finally there is the container file which nowadays is MKV (Matroska Video file) but you can run into MP4. There are older formats but you don’t see them very often so I wont really mention them.

This is a quick run down but there is plenty of info out there that goes more into detail and you can just google questions like: what is lossless vs lossy?

Hope this helps
