FaceDeer, w Anti-Piracy Group Takes Prominent AI Training Dataset ”Books3′ Offline
@FaceDeer@kbin.social avatar

It may be illegal to distribute it, but it's not illegal to read it. Or train an AI on it, which is the same process.

maynarkh,

Would commercializing the trained AI count as a commercial public performance though? The legal problems with AI don’t come with the training, but when you start selling it.

I’m actually pretty pro-AI (and in particular, pro-FOSS AI), so I’m pretty unhappy about this myself ;p

If nothing else, this kind of shit will mean that only the existing “Intellectual Property” holders will have access to using AI. It would entrench things even more >.<

Are you trying to setup your pi as a Linux distribution torrent seed box? I’m a little confused by your “apps” verbiage

Buelldozer, w Looking for that one MS Word version
@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

What do you mean by “All in one save menu?” / “not windows save menu but built in save menu”? Do you mean pre-ribbon interface, because that was introduced in Office 2007 and would mean that you’re looking for MS Word 2003 or earlier.

Here, have a look at this visual history of MS Word, it may help jar your memory about which one you’re after.

I mean when you save documents then a save window come up, the built-in save menu save everything in it like save docs to other formats (pdf dot…), save to a specific location, edit author… all in one window but the one have right now I have right doesn’t have that, here is a pictures how I remembered it https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/5ae936fe-dcf6-45bf-aff2-02eb8a8dad93.png

You should be able to replicate that even in Word 365 (Desktop) by opening Word, going to Options, (or File then options if you have a document open) click the Save category on the left then check (or unchecking) the box for “Don’t show the Backstage when opening or saving files with keyboard shortcuts”.

In the latest version of Word 365 if I check that box I get the floating Save dialog. If I uncheck it I get the embedded version.

Thing is I’m pretty sure that option, or something very similar, has existed in the same place with every Word version since 2013 and perhaps even 2010. You can learn more about “Backstage” here.

I think the Circuit Board Background / Theme was introduced along with theming in either 2010 or 2013 and can still be done even in the latest versions of Word 365. You can find out how to do that here.

downvotee,

The backstage is the worst piece of shit, I hate it.

AphoticDev, w Any good tools for converting a YT playlist to mp3?
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why would you want to convert to mp3? This ain’t 2003, there’s way better formats to use than that.

kingludd,

Can you give some examples to read up on?

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Depends on whether you want lossless or lossy. For lossy, OOG Vorbis is the way to go if you want to support open source. If you don’t care about that, WMA is a proprietary format alternative. Both WMA and Vorbis have better quality than MP3, with equivalent file sizes. I use Vorbis myself, because it’s free.

If you want lossless, idk, because I don’t fuck with that.

SBS1313, (edited )

Just a small question let us say i wanted to convert all of my mp3 files into oog or wma. Will i loose some quality or it is fine (my files are around 128kbps)??? Because better quality for same size seems like a switch i would do. (I will convert with AIMP)

ByteWizard,

If they’re already MP3 then don’t bother. Can’t make it sound better after it’s already been compressed. You’d need to get source material then convert to whatever format.

There’s nothing wrong with MP3 though. Hell most people are listening to streaming like Pandora and Spotify and don’t complain.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Vorbis has better compression than MP3, so you won’t lose any quality, and the files should be a little smaller.

TerryTPlatypus,

There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

OOG Vorbis has been around for years, what device are you imagining that can’t play it? A Zune?

Likely they are putting it on mobile phone, and both major OSes can handle those files.

TerryTPlatypus,

you’re probably right about that, i never thought of it that way!

ArcaneSlime,

My phone will play .ogg with VLC, but the little bar that tracks song progress is broken, same with .opus. .flac works but phone manufacturers have decided I don’t need storage space and I instead need their cloud, which I refuse to use, so .mp3 it is.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If you’re having issues with OOG, then try AAC. It was designed to be the successor to MP3, and when MP3 is phased out in the coming years, it will be in favor of AAC. I use Vorbis because it’s open source, but there are other options than that.

ArcaneSlime,

I’ll give it a shot.

MaeTheDoctor,

Because the first audio format I think of is mp3, that’s literally it.

I recommend rutracker. It’s great for BD rips of movies and TV shows. The majority of files have the original English audio + Russian dubs. Quite a lot of hard to find stuff and almost always has seeds.

Just realized you asked for plugin tracker, idk what that is

pelikan,

He asked about trackers which have search plugin for qbittorrent and your answer fits well as rutracker has even two different plugins ready.

theoldman,

How does one get a NAS without spending an arm and leg these days? I started pirating because I was broke, I don’t have triple digits to spend on hardware.

An old PC with a bunch of hard drives (they shouldn’t be NAS drives necessarily) + TrueNas. The main cost will be the hard drives which is about 20$/TB

Majestic,

$20/TB is a bad deal.

You can get WD Red Pro’s on sale twice a year for $16/TB.

Further you can order unused data center and enterprise drives for anything from $11-$16/TB and those things are built to take way more use and abuse than home users can throw at them.

I would not pay above $17/TB for traditional magnetic spinning disk storage.

ancoraunamoka,

how is 4 dollars of difference a big deal?

Majestic,

OP said money was tight.

And why pay more for less? Over the purchase of 3 hard drives I save enough to get a fourth “free” off the difference in savings.

$4x14tb=$56 for example.

But please. Continue to pay whatever you want. More cheap drives for me.

CSharp,

When you have 100tb

BautAufWasEuchAufbaut,
@BautAufWasEuchAufbaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That’s like incredibly less than what I have been able to find. Where exactly would they be on sale for that cheap?
Don’t want to buy used since you never know when they will go south on you

Majestic,

diskprices.com

Beware MDD at the top is alleged to sell drives they’ve refurbished which are essentially used but with wiped smart. Other cheap deals… check sellers. If it’s not sold and shipped by Amazon it could be slightly used drives (usually third party sellers do a mix so some people get brand new, others not so much). Also beware third party sellers and Amazon itself often sell OEM drives without warranty. I always check the serials online before opening the anti-static bag to make sure it’s in warranty.

Also: shucks.top

You need to wait and watch for the good deals but they come around multiple times a year.

Also, understand there are certain storage ranges to get these prices. Generally 8-18TB drives are best deals per TB. You pay a premium for 20-22 top size drives as well as for smaller drives like 2-4TB. 14TB seems to be the current sweet spot most of the time.

Lastly. Understand SMR drives are alright for backups but not ideal for streaming high bitrate content from or using to seed files. CMR is better.

BautAufWasEuchAufbaut,
@BautAufWasEuchAufbaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Those are some amazing resources, thank you!
Is there an easy way to check if a drive is CMR? The ones I looked at didn’t mention either.

Majestic,

Looking up technical specs for the drive it’s often mentioned on data sheets (often as conventional magnetic recording drive or else shingled if SMR). Other than that third parties have compiled lists and many but not all Amazon pages in tech specs mention it if you look closely. Try searching drive-model and cmr and then smr and see what comes up. Beware some drive families different sizes of drive may be cmr vs smr. WD red pro and ultra star DC line are all CMR, WD blues many are SMR. WD black as far as I know are all CMR. WD red (non-pro) can be SMR I believe.

I’ll be honest, the real difference is getting a 7200 vs 5400 RPM drive, particularly one with a larger cache, I’d always go for 7200 except for purely offline backup stuff.

In terms of external drives and shucking, it’s largely a crapshoot. You can try searching what drives others found in a model, however they’re subject to change.

Bottom line: If money is tight and it’s just you, you can absolutely do SMR and 5400 RPM external drives and have a smooth experience as long as we’re talking re-encodes not raw Blu-ray remuxes (I have seen an external 5400RPM SMR drive choke and fail trying to smoothly play a file at 24MB/s bitrate but it worked fine with 10MB/s re-encodes, even those with burst rates of 17MB/s). If you can afford a bit more try to go 7200 and CMR.

constantokra,

You can even start with an old laptop and external drives. Plenty of people shuck them anyway, so you’re not exactly overpaying. They’ll just be a bit slow. But if you’re mostly planning on streaming video that doesn’t matter too much.

If you do have a little to spend, you can do a ‘naskiller’ build. Just search for it and pick one. Basically some people put together lists of cheap, reliable used hardware you can get to build a pretty great nas, with different flavors. ‘Quiet’ ‘fast’ ‘compact’. I built one and went all out. I think it was about 600 bucks without the drives. Build up from there.

@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I use a mini-PC and as many of these drive stations as needed: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WR9N3KWI started with HDD’s but SSD’s work much better with those stations. Bonus: Those guys can clone drives without a computer or anything.

    once you login to your account without it they know your ip

    That’s a real bummer that always applies - that’s why you need to have a kill switch, configure your firewall and check for leaks on a regular basis. I am always connected to some VPNs

    Well if you want to pay real debrid with crypto, you just select BTC as payment option, then you get redirected to coinbase.

    https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/0812e06f-8dcd-410e-91e2-b5ffd8fbdce7.jpeg

    Here you can select BTC, ETH or LTC, it will then generate a payment string you can transfer funds to from every wallet, no KYC required in any way.

    What utter bullshit is this? Why is there no private way to pay?

    https://bisq.network/

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency_tumbler

    https://www.monero.how/how-does-monero-privacy-work

    https://kycnot.me/?type=exchange

    You can even buy BTC at an centralized exchange, split it into 25 wallets, throw them into a tumbler, convert to monero, throw it in another tumbler what ever and recombine everything on a Wallet you generated yourself with a node you are hosting by yourself. Do that on a Tails live OS.

    There are countless ways to get crypto anonymously. Please if you want to learn something here, I am willing to explain everything, but if you make a claim like that

    It’s still bitcoin so there is still no private way to pay

    Please at least try to back it up with something that atleast comes close to an argument or something. I am going out of my way here to show you reality, just because of good will. Are you aware how long it took me just to upload those damn screenshots.

    Again, there are countless ways to get BTC or what ever crypto anonymous, but still look at your original claims

    You can only pay with kyc so it’s not anonymous and even if you use a vpn with real debrid once you login to your account without it they know your ip so there is no way to use it anonymously.

    You do need kyc. Could you explain how to pay for real debrid without kyc? Vpns are not private or anonymous anyways. You don’t think law inforcements can figure out who you are just because you use a vpn?

    You do not need KYC to pay with BTC, ETH or LTC on real debrid.

    Now you are telling me, you need KYC to get your hands on some crypto. Wake up. You can also buy drugs in the street, guns what ever.

    You can’t pay without KYC, but thats a huge difference to your original claim.
