doggle, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

It’ll be a shame if I have to ditch YouTube. There’s only 2 or 3 channels I would even consider paying for and they don’t have Patreon or anything. I’m less than interested in giving Google a cut.

jaschen, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

YouTube algorithm has been garbage for months now. There’s literally no good content.

mortrek,

The site has plenty of good content, just no way to find it.

kionite231,

Some youtuber link other channels with similar topic/content. I found few new channels that way.

jarfil,

Sounds like the death knell for YT… what’s the point of a centralized platform, if we’re back to links to discover content. They could link to PeerTube.

bionicjoey, w Best place to get forced subtitles?

I wish this style of subs was just baked into the media. I had the same issue with the Dany parts of GoT and also with parts of BCS (Spanish and German are fantasy languages, don’t @ me)

ZeroEcks,

I have bazaar setup to pull full subtitles (and strip cc from them) but I have never gotten a release without forced subs I’m pretty sure. Maybe check where your pulling releases from, I find Usenet releases are good for including subs in the file.

Xianshi, w Whats your preferred codec?

I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.

Kidnose,

This. I actually went the opposite route to OP, replaced everything 265 to 264 to avoid playback issues. My content is played on many different devices so 265 simply won’t cut it.

danielquinn,
@danielquinn@lemmy.ca avatar

What kind of devices won’t play x265? I’ve got some rather old hardware and it seems to work just fine on everything.

IceSeaHunter,

I sometimes stream from my 2014 ultrabook to my TV… never had a problem with x264, but some x265 encodings cut out/freeze/lag during scenes where a lot is happening (motionwise)

ArcaneSlime,

Same, laptop from '15, TV from '09. If you’re on linux what did you use to reencode, ffmpeg? Never even occurred to me I could do that lol.

IceSeaHunter,

I’ve been using Handbrake for a while now - albeit on Windows. It is available for Linux but I can’t guarantee it’s the exact same experience.

Stephen304,

For me the math worked out that it was cheaper to get a nuc with quick sync than to pay for the extra storage h264 uses, it’s less than half the bitrate (usually ~2Mbit for 1080 compared to 8+), I have 23TB of content and my Intel nuc power efficiently transcodes to h264 on demand if the device needs it.

Closed-source AI models.

Books3 corpus would like you to know that all the data in it is from copyrighted books. It has reportedly been widely used in closed-source AI LLMs. “Rules for thee, not for me” shit. They’ll break copyright and then copyright what they made from it.

huggingface.co/datasets/the_pile_books3

Books3 is literally everything from the Bibliotik private tracker for books.

So yeah, fuckin roll out the cannons, mateys, let’s sink these hypocritical fuckers.

Even_Adder,

You’re allowed to train on copyrighted works, it isn’t illegal for anybody. This article by Kit Walsh does a good job of breaking it down. She’s a senior staff attorney at the EFF.

dingus,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I didn’t say it was illegal, I said it was hypocritical.

Even_Adder,

Oh, my bad.

aldalire,

This has the same vibe as Github (owned by microsoft) training its AI Copilot on repositories under the GPL license, which specifically forbids any work based on it not be made proprietary. Literally a blatant disregard for the license, but it’s ok because it’s a mega-corporation doing it

YoMismo, w I got some malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited as a warning

You never visit this kind of sites without a minimum of an ad blocker installed. My advice :

  1. uBlock Origin with the recommended filters installed > github.com/yokoffing/filterlists
  2. A Userscript Managers (I use Tampermonkey) with an anti ad-block killers scripts.
piracyismurder,

Instead of tempermonkey i use violentmonkey it’s open source and does the same thing.

YoMismo,

violentmonkey

It’s still in beta, maybe will give it a try when a stable release is out.

BrandoCalrissian9229,

I presently have both uBlockorigin and Brave’s native adblockers at work, so not sure how it slipped through there. Definitely gonna look at the userscript manager though

DestroyMegacorps,

dont do that if you are gonna play to use ublock origin stick to ublock origin as braves built in adblock can interfere with ublock origin which can make sites slower to load

Sharpiemarker, w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?

Idk if any of you are old enough to remember NonSteamDown, an alternative Steam launcher that gave you access to all Valve’s games (when the only games you could get through Steam were Valve’s own titles). Completely unrelated to your question about Steamunlocked, it just triggered a core memory from my youth.

squaresinger,

Yeah, plenty old enough^^

Sharpiemarker,

Haha cheers!

FrostyCaveman, w Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf

Woah, gold mine of info and ideas 👀 thanks for posting this

This sound like a job for Calibre. I don’t know exactly how to do it though.

Looks like there’s a plugin you can use

DaCrazyJamez,

Awesome, I’ll give this a shot!

Moonrise2473, w Is anyone concer about denuvo on switch?

On the bright side it will eventually make emulators more accurate

tiwenty,

I’m curious, how so?

moody,

Emulators typically cut a lot of corners to make emulation faster rather than make it more accurate. A truly accurate emulator would be impossible for the software to differentiate from the actual hardware.

Vilian,

but it gonna run slow as shit

tiwenty,

Ok i see, thank you!

AndrewZen,

anthrofox.org/starfox/superfx.html

nice read on the SuperFX chip.

tiwenty,

It was really interesting, thank you!

yote_zip,
@yote_zip@pawb.social avatar

Note that 100% accuracy on emulators is not always a goal. Super accurate emulators might take more computation/emulation and run slower.

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

TheGreatFox, w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

See that sidebar on the right? Click the “Megathread” link there.

anteaters, (edited ) w So, Unity is charging game developers per video game install now...
@anteaters@feddit.de avatar

Yeah that’s what tends to happen when you go into complete dependence to a single product of a private company. They will greedily fuck you over at some point and you look like a total dumbass.

mp3, w One of us, one of us, one of us, ... !!!

I initially thought it was Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) from What We Do In The Shadows.

Slartibartfass,

Sometimes it feels that way, too!

reddthat, w How to get into private trackers
@reddthat@reddthat.com avatar

opentrackers.org

Get a 2tb HDD and download all the freeleech torrents and then seed forever. Most private trackers have a bonus system which you get for long-term seeding. Eventually you use bonus points for upload.

Work your way up on the rankings until you are high enough to get into the invite forums. Repeat the process until you get into all the top tier trackers (who never have open signups)

MTV/MAM/DDC are all good places to start
