averyfalken, w My 2tb jellyfin server with a disney collection go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I miss the days I only needed 2 tb

xtremeownage,

For me, that would have been over 15 years ago. Even my NAS from 2014 was pushing 16T or so.

thepianistfroggollum,

Yeah, I’m at 28T and I’m eying some 18T drives for an expansion unit.

xtremeownage,

Just wait until you get where I am… I am pushing north of 140T of overall storage right now, lol. And, it keeps growing.

Evil_Shrubbery,

I wish them nicely quiet Red Plus drives would go to to 20 or 22TB.

DemSpud,

They do don’t they?

grinde,

Current biggest is 14tb

DemSpud,

Ahh my bad, I was thinking of the Red Pros

Omega_Jimes,

I’ve had to start trimming things, but I can’t get rid of hard-to-finds. It’s mostly new shows, I’ll only keep recent seasons.

I can’t lose shows like Captain Star or Duckman, but I probably don’t need every season of Westworld.

I hope you’re seeding those hard to finds!

Omega_Jimes,

I was but after two reimages I’m not even sure which torrents they were.

This is why they are hard to find! Where’s the dedication? 🙂

HeneryHawk, w Publishing New Torrents

You’re going from a source of an encoded x264 and reencoding (the already encoded file) as x265?? What are the results like?

Most people encode from a high quality source like a remux, rather than an encode

heartlessevil,

Yeah, a lot of private travelers will not accept doubly-lossy encoded files as a rule. So you can’t just go from 264 to 265. You need the original lossless file.

To OP, yeah, you want a seed box. Both to pin the file up and host it for a while, and to preserve your anonymity (the original seeder is under particular scrutiny.)

rah,

a lot of private travelers

What’s a “private traveler” out of interest?

HeneryHawk,

It’s a typo, supposed to say “private tracker”

heartlessevil,

Auto correct typo of private tracker. Sorry.

rah,

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying.

pastermil,

Looks good to me… I’d be happy to take some feedback tho

HeneryHawk,

It will depend a lot on hardware and/or software but I’d bet users would see some artefacting, ghosting, and general noise when they play your x265 file

As another comment pointed out, an encode of an encode is banned on a lot of trackers… Or at least an encode of an already pretty lossy encode (x264) won’t be allowed

Does the filesize change much?

pastermil,

I was able to shrink down the whole thing from about 120GB to 90GB

ApatheticAlligator, w How can I find my schools Adobe Premiere/Photoshop Elements 2020 key?

why risk stealing from your school when cracking exists?

Sharpiemarker,

Exactly. OP, whatever you’re thinking of doing is an incredibly bad idea and very illegal.

Rizoid, w Music labels sue Internet Archive over digitized record collection
@Rizoid@programming.dev avatar

All these lawsuits do is show me new cool stuff that Internet Archive has.

First the Streisand effect led to her home. Now it leads to her entire discography. Poor Barbara Streisand.

conditional_soup, w The Internet Archive might reach a deal with the publishers to remove THEIR books from the lending library

Yeah, you know, that [checks notes] one copy of a book that the lending library was able to lend* was really eating into their profit margin. Honest to God, they probably spent more money on lawyers over this shit than they’ll ever recoup, and it just makes them look stupid, greedy, and stupidly greedy.

*I think it’s one copy per actually book that’s owned. Just like you can’t lend you friends more copies of a given book than you own.

lukas,
@lukas@lemmy.haigner.me avatar

The publishers have called the Archive’s program a front for mass copyright infringement.

Digital libraries are a front for mass copyright infringement, according to the publishers :)

But for real, what’s the difference between a digital library that artificially limits the amount of books they lend out to the amount of books they scan and a traditional library? I can go to my local library right now, take a book home, photocopy the book at home, and return the book to the library. Not as high quality as a digital copy, but still.

stephfinitely, w What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?
@stephfinitely@artemis.camp avatar

This actually sounds like a great topic for a documentary

HeckingShepherd,

I’d watch a two hour YouTube video on that

pipes,
@pipes@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’d even get the Xvid DVDrip of it, but never the cam rip they are vile 😂

princessnorah, w What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in this thread mention Telecines at all. It’s a machine that captures the video and audio from the film print directly to digital. A lot of good Cam rips were filmed from the projection booth, and could conceivably be done by a projectionist surreptitiously. Telecines though, required a large piece of equipment and time with a print outside of hours. Likely you’d need to be a manager or owner to get away with it, or have their blessing.

I remember the excitement of finding a Telecine for a movie in theatres rather than a Cam. It felt like striking gold. I bet the people releasing those in scene groups would be treated like gods back then.

princessnorah,
@princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Also, Telesyncs, which would be labelled TS, is when you have that high quality cam recording and sync it to a direct recording of the audio. The audio often came from the FM microbroadcast that are designed for hearing-aid users.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:35mm_film_audio_macro.jpg Dolby Digital is an image of a digital signal (basically a QR code) that is between the cog-wheel holes on one side. Good Telecine machines are able to record the full surround track from this. That used to be the absolute best you could get while something was still in theatres. Often better than award copies, they had no stupid watermarks.

WarmSoda, w What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?

Well you see, when a pirate and a camcorder love each other very much, they go to a movie theater…

KrimsonBun, w (LINUX USER)What VPNs would you lovely people recommend?
@KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml avatar

Mullvad!

Im1Random,

What about the removal of port forwarding?

Seytoux, w Ohh yeah, EMPRESS drama is BACK!

So… no disrespect but, are all scenes/crackers really creepy and angry people then?

sounddrill,

Crackers, maybe but most repacking and more scenes are super chill

Seytoux,

Don’t get me wrong, even thought I don’t pirate as much as I once did in my younger days I’m super appreciative of the work they do, free mostly if I understand it correctly. But some of the things they say on this nfos (mostly homophobic slurs and name calling) are super out of place, but at the end to each their own lol

sounddrill,

They say denuvo is insanely hard to consistently keep cracking

I don’t think a sane person would enjoy it

Captain_Red, w (LINUX USER)What VPNs would you lovely people recommend?

Mullvad. The others have horrible apps on Linux.

lud,

Mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore. I use airvpn and you can just use the native WireGuard (or OpenVPN if you’r crazy) apps on different platforms if you want.

ISOmorph, w (LINUX USER)What VPNs would you lovely people recommend?

The same 3 VPNs get recommended each time this question is asked:

  • Mullvad
  • Proton
  • IVPN
Carter,

So two that don’t offer port forwarding and one that only does on Windows? Wow what a great recommendation…

kostel_thecreed,

Only Proton should be recommended for torrenting since it has port-forwarding. I don’t know why people love suggesting these even without port-forwarding.

I don’t really understand how can a pirate defend DRM

people_are_cute,
@people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

DRM cracking is treated as a sport by the Scene. They don’t actually care about pirate philosophies and such, only the challenge.

They like to pretend so.

Xirup, w Ohh yeah, EMPRESS drama is BACK!
@Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Drama aside, Skidrow really does “cracks”? I thought they were only repackers.

Voksi, you fokkin prick, DRM exists for a reason in this world, it protects legitimate interests of actual hard working people, that are entitled to get a decent income from their hard effort!!!

I’m not on any “side” but wut? We are talking about a repacker to a cracker, I think they can be considered equally “guilty” in the sense of “making hard-working people lose money” by distributing the games themselves. And what the hell, I’m pretty sure that’s not the reason DRM exists, and if it is, it’s to secure the income of companies, not their workers.

monstoor,

They cracked Denuvo on Fe recently. Granted that is a Unity3D game so the modular approach makes it slightly easier to crack.
