PolarisFx, (edited ) w Ripping Audible Audiobooks
@PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I checked out OpenAudible posted in this topic and it seems interesting, and might be a better choice. But if you’re looking to rip your audible files yourself you’ll want inAudible: github.com/rmcrackan/inAudible

There are other options around, but none of them are as free or as good as inAudible, IMO.

Fermiverse,

Ripping myself is what I did with Libation as suggested here. You log into your audible account when starting the software for the first time, your libary is shown and you can start to download.

When adjusting the auto tagging then audiibookshelf automatically sorts the stuff in the correct way with series etc.

Perfect combination and totally free.

FractalsInfinite, w Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?

Anna’s archive acts as a drop in replacement for libgen and z-library, also doesn’t cost anything

MalReynolds,
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

doesn’t it rely on them ? more of an indexer…

FractalsInfinite,

No, more like a mirror in that it hosts all of zlib and libgen’s content as well as providing torrent and ipfs links for the files (which they seed)

MalReynolds,
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

And yet when libgen was broken a couple of days ago it sent me to the broken libgen for the (admittedly obscure) thing I was after. Perhaps caching I dunno. Still, glad it’s there…

FractalsInfinite, (edited )

From what I see, there are 4 5 options on annas-archive.org

  1. Use fast(but fee charging) direct download
  2. Use ipfs
  3. use torrents
  4. Go to source pages (libgen and/or zlibrary)
  5. Slow direct download [Edited]

It sounds like you clicked the link to the source as opposed to the mirrors

MalReynolds,
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

Nah, in this case there was only 4. I’ve seen the others before.

FractalsInfinite,

Huh, it seems it depends on the existing sources, I’m not particularly sure how that works

5ubieee,

Not everything is mirrored yet, so some searches will only lead to external sources

Jaysyn, w Can they even track pirated installs ?
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

Which company will become insolvent 1st, Twitter or Unity?

rockhandle,
@rockhandle@lemm.ee avatar

I would place my bets on unity. It has tougher competition imo

elxeno, w Can they even track pirated installs ?

So those who aren’t victims of piracy will be “fairly hurt”?

dingus, (edited ) w Can they even track pirated installs ?
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

It would mean every Unity game was not-so-secretly shipped with code that phones home to the Unity company upon install.

Either they’ve been egregiously spying on gamers for years (and by extension, game developers using Unity have just been fine with that), or they’re lying through their teeth.

EddyBot,

Unity includes telemetry for some time
I believe you can’t actually disable the telemetry (or Unity intro logo) in the “free” version

dingus,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

So then this falls under “devs didn’t care” because it was useful information for them and they didn’t see how it could be used negatively.

MossyFeathers,

Probably the opposite actually. The devs who utilize the feature probably enjoy having some numbers to look at and analyze. They’re trying to make a game that people enjoy after all; the more info they have on how you’re playing the game, the better. The devs who don’t use it probably aren’t even aware that it exists. Additionally, I’m not sure if it requires a subscription to view the telemetry (the page suggests you have to sign up for it in some capacity), but if it does then it makes sense that devs might believe that it’s something that’s disabled until you manually enable it.

Personally, I know if I was a dev I’d be checking that shit every day. I like watching the funny numbers go up and down.

SeaJ, w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Geez. Hetzner is super affordable.

Anyway, as others have mentioned, Jellyfin is not a centralized service so that is not something they can do.

Vaggumon,
@Vaggumon@lemm.ee avatar

Even more so if you check out the auctions they have.

kingludd, w Is there a way to seed things I have downloaded but already deleted the torrent for?

Try this tool to match a torrent file to its data: github.com/JohnDoee/autotorrent

luthis,

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for

Fermiverse, w Ripping Audible Audiobooks

Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.

Really great piece of software

H3L1X,
@H3L1X@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes! Audiobookshelf is great!

Grandsinge, (edited )

Just wanted to give another upvote to audiobookshelf. It’s a great audible replacement and allows for local downloading and server syncing. Great project!

ByteWizard, 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,

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.

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

The data will be safe to play on a linux box.
Whether you’ll be safe depends on where you live and whether you have a VPN in a different country.

I had to fight off a law suit for over 2 years over a single movie I torrented someone on my network allegedly torrented from Piratebay (Germany).

Xirup, (edited )
@Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Fortunately I live in a country where they don’t care about piracy, but maybe I misspelled the question, I meant “sure” it can’t contain some kind of virus.

And I guess you won the lawsuit? On Reddit I remember that people would commonly say they got those law suits but people would always suggest “don’t do anything about it because they were just warnings”.

superkret,

Yeah, “don’t do anything” is horribly advice, at least in Germany.
I managed to avoid the lawsuit by showing the lawyers who wanted to fleece me that I had legal representation and collected enough evidence in my favor to make it difficult.
All they had was a file and an IP address.
It was a back-and-forth of letters between me, them and the court, which eventually refused to formally open a trial.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Any more advice for a fellow torrenter in Germany regarding linux isos (hey lawyer ;))

Using a seedbox from abroad to avoid local downloads.

superkret,

Torrenting Linux ISOs is legal and doesn’t violate any copyright so there’s nothing to worry about.

superkret,

The way they catch you is by downloading a complete “Linux ISO” you seeded. Their log from that download shows your IP and that’s the evidence.

So either don’t seed a complete “ISO”, or use a VPN from a provider that will laugh at info requests from German lawyers.

Safest way is to make sure you only torrent Linux ISOs that can be legally shared according to their copyright license, of course ;)

Chewy7324,

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a complete iso, but a part of the “Linux ISO” is enough. Since your still helping others complete their “ISO” illegally.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Well already using a seedbox located abroad.
I will just hope it won’t be linked back to me lol :p

spiderman,

I had to fight off a law suit for over 2 years over a single movie I torrented from Piratebay (Germany).

How serious was it and did you hire a lawyer for that?

superkret,

Yes, I hired a lawyer for consultation.
Since I was very poor at the time, I could get the cost for it reimbursed from the state, after laying bare my finances in front of a judge.

As for the seriousness, the legal firm moving against me had opened a case before a court in Munich (500km from where I lived) and I had to plead my case in writing to the court.
Next step after a lot of legalese back and forth would have been a summons before the court in person, which didn’t happen. The letters just stopped.

In the end, I paid 60€ for fees and postage. They had wanted me to pay 2000€ to settle and my lawyer told me if it goes before a judge, worst probable outcome would have been 600€ in court and lawyer fees.

Chewy7324,

Yes it’s inexcusable in my opinion that they want over 1000€ for a single movie. 600€ is still a lot of money but asking so much more than the “damage” is obviously worth is just…

I heard of some people who actually paid the fine they were asked for, since they didn’t know better (it wasn’t them but an exchange student from a country where torrenting media isn’t an issue, or so they said).

Sharpiemarker, w Why WARP is OK for torrenting

What’s WARP?

Kekin,
@Kekin@lemy.lol avatar

A VPN from Cloudflare if I’m not mistaken, with a free tier.

kumu.io/sobeyharker/vpn-relationships#vpn-company…

1.1.1.1

I had forgotten about this. Looks neat still

Bakery7328,

Yes it’s this. I should have put a link.

Sharpiemarker,

Oh cool! Thanks for explaining.

Appoxo, (edited ) w What is your go to music grabbing solution?
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If you just want to download music, nothing can beat Soulseek.

Dsklnsadog, w Are there any IPTV providers that accept gift cards (Amazon, Best Buy, etc.) as a form of payment?

CheatPizza, (edited )

Thanks, will do.

edit: That sub seems to be for providers to advertise rather than post questions.

can,

Sidebar mentions helping users. Can’t hurt to try.

CheatPizza,

I did. Made an account there to make the same post, but it seems like it won’t be approved.

can,

Made an acct where?

CheatPizza,

To the instance of the sub that was linked.

can,

There’s no need for that. You should be able to make a post from the account you’re using here.

CheatPizza,

Wasn’t able to. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

can, (edited )

Really? Maybe they defederated?

Were you able to subscribe?

CheatPizza,

Yeah, received an error message everytime I tried to post.

can,

If you’re able to subscribe maybe it’s a language issue?

riley0, w Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?
@riley0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

And it was IA’s increased activity during the pandemic that spurred the current trouble. Brewster Kahle is a saint.

Pearlescence, (edited )

That’s what I read as well. You would think they would’ve gotten some leeway since it was done during an event comparable to war and they were following the footsteps of other digital libraries. They had a pretty stellar reputation and system in place for nearly a decade already, so I can only assume that they were simply waiting for an opportunity to target them.

koper, w Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?

It seems like this order is rather limited and the IA can continue almost all of their work.

Pearlescence,

I hope this is where it stops. Current laws aren’t too favourable towards projects like these and the IA depends heavily on donations so I don’t think they’d be able to withstand multiple drawn out court battles. I’m just waiting to see what gets affected exactly and to what extent.
