BelieveRevolt, w Now you have to pay to see lyrics on spotify

The funniest thing to ask money for. Just have genius.com open or stream the song on YouTube, the lyrics are probably in the description or at the very least the comments.

Pulp,

Just google them

ThePenitentOne,

Anything to encourage even a single person to spend more money. It’s just sad, really.

Katzastrophe, w [HELP] Setting up a Jellyfin server with different (remote) storage servers
@Katzastrophe@feddit.de avatar

Can’t help you, but I have to ask, why Hetzner?

They are a german server hosting company, you know, the country with some of the strictest copyright laws? For example, a kid at an old school of mine was once fined 800€ for accidentally sharing a song on a school hosted messaging board.

If you do anything with pirated torrenting on their servers, they will know, and will come after your ass. And even sharing pirated content can get you in incredibly hot water, they might not have found out yet, but when they do, good luck.

Hetzner because that’s what I had and have always had a good experience with them, anything else to recommend at the same prices? And that is a reason why I don’t download the content directly on their servers but on my local machine.

Katzastrophe,
@Katzastrophe@feddit.de avatar

The only one in a similar price range that comes to mind is ovhcloud.com, they are a france based company, still not ideal though, as they might require ID.

If money is the biggest factor (which I guess it is), best thing for you to do, might be to move your storage box off of the german servers and onto the finnish servers.

VonReposti,

I don’t think I’ve ever given my ID for my Kimsufi or SoYouStart servers. Both of them are OVH subsidiaries.

Katzastrophe,
@Katzastrophe@feddit.de avatar

I’ve heard they do it sometimes for high risk customers. Though they might have stopped some years ago

retiolus,
@retiolus@lemmy.cat avatar

It is already on the finnish rervers! ☺️

taaz,

Even in the finish location, if any of the “law” fuckers scourging the open trackers, sends an abuse/dmca to Hetzner, you will have some explaining to do as they will raise it as a ticket and require an explanation as to what happened and what is your course of action to remedy it.

Source: my own experience about two months ago (used chatgpt to send them a neutral bussiness respone, worked like a charm)

Use vpn that allows port forwarding, or never touch public trackers at all, or both.

Rescuer6394,

they can detect piracy regardless. generally they set up honeypots and if you download a torrent from them, they will know and fine you.

@retiolus@lemmy.cat avatar

How can they if I download everything on my personal computer using a VPN?

bier,

I’ve been using a Hetzner server for a couple of years now and haven’t gotten any abuse reports or DMCA takedown request but I’m using a docker + vpn setup so maybe it’s that

hottari, w Whats your preferred codec?

Can’t get enough of x265. The size to quality ratio is very good and all my hardware supports it.

I know right! I was confused when I first encountered x265 files because I thought it was too small lol.

squaresinger, w What are the ways to play minecraft offline (single player)?

UltimMC is good. It’s a fork of MultiMC that allows playing without account.

You can jailbreak it and play homebrew games, aka pirated games and play game mods.

Thanks!

Is there any particularly good guide I should use, or just what I find on ddg?

svamp,

I have found Modded Warfares videos quite helpful for jailbreaking.

    reverendsteveii, w Anti-Piracy Lessons Enter the School Curriculum: Are You a Thief?

    Are you a thief?

    I think that when they define “thief” as someone who will watch a TV show on Dailymotion when there’s no other way to get it, they’re going to be surprised how many people (especially schoolkids) are willing to say “Yes, I’m a thief.”

    TheHalc,

    Perhaps there’s a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

    I’d hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

    Trihilis,

    The record and movie industry must be paying out of their asses to have this shit taught in schools.

    Let’s teach our kids the importance of making billionaires richer and not actual important stuff like checking facts or making a well informed decision when voting.

    Absolute dystopian bullshit.

    pelikan, w Youtube - like apps like piped.video, but as Android app?

    You need ReVanced app, that’s new incarnation of Vanced app that ceased to work

    Bandicoot_Academic,

    Pretty sure that Revanced still has google tracking since its a patched version of the official app.

    Also if anyone here intends to use it: Please be careful. The real revenced site (www.revanced.app) has awfull SEO and usualy appears way below fake websites (that sometimes spread malware). The only real websites are revanced.app and the github.

    Also you have to patch the app yourself for copyright reasons so don’t trust and websites that offer a direct apk of revanced (the real website offers a manager app that you can use to patch the official app)

    WindowsEnjoyer,

    Revanced instructions (official Youtube app, but with adblocking, sponsorblock and other nice improvements).

    1. Uninstall Youtube (or disable if not possible)
    2. github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases
    3. Install
    4. Open, go to “Patcher”, find “Youtube” and download the specified recommended version from www.apkmirror.com
    5. Patch it, install it.
    6. Install MicroG if you want to use your Google account with it: github.com/TeamVanced/VancedMicroG/releases
    7. Launch your installed youtube app. You will need to login from within the app if you are using MicroG.

    Also you have to patch the app yourself

    I thought I read someone was providing “clean” patched APKs now?

    WindowsEnjoyer,

    Google might go after pathed apks, but you can’t go after patches (which isn’t apk).

    Sharpiemarker,

    aport, w Can they even track pirated installs ?

    Unity jumped the shark.

    Engine was trash anyway. Unreal for lyfe.

    bionicjoey,

    Proprietary software A is bad. Long live proprietary software B!

    (Or maybe check out Godot)

    sanpedropeddler,

    Unreal is open source, although it isn’t free. I would certainly prefer it to unity though.

    Euphoma,

    Its not open source, its source available because you can’t distribute modifications to unreal.

    MossyFeathers,

    Nah, unity is/was a good engine. The reason why it has a bad reputation is for the same reason that Game maker used to have a bad reputation. Almost everyone who’s learning how to make games uses Unity because it’s easy to use, is extremely well documented, and has a massive store full of add-on scripts, programs, model sets, etc. As such, all the poorly optimized games and 0-effort asset flips end up being made in unity (though I’ve seen some unreal games that make even the most poorly optimized Unity game look good). The result? Even though there are a number of high-quality, highly-regarded games that use unity, it has a reputation for being a shitty engine.

    Don’t believe me? Keep an eye on Godot or Unreal. If unity sticks to their new license, then it’s highly likely that one of those engines will become the new “newbie engine” and gain a reputation for being shitty.

    Mikina, (edited )

    I disagree. I’ve been/am working on several pretty large projects in Unity (some of them sold hundreds of thousands copies), and especially once you start porting to consoles, the experience goes to shit. Their support is vague, documentation is plainly wrong in some places - I’ve once spent few days figuring out how to use a documented and explained feature, only to find out later that there’s a closed few years old bug on their issue tracker that it’s actually not supported, and the documentation only does not explains it very well. (The feature was multiple hits per single Raycast in jobs, here are the docs. According to the bug resolution, only one hit per ray is supported, and the docs only don’t explain it very well. The docs are still the same.)

    You also inevitably run into issues that you simply don’t have in other engines - it’s closed source. You have no idea how is something implemented, or whether something isn’t working because you are doing it wrong, or if it’s Unity bug/fault. In Unreal, if something doesn’t work, you can always just check the engine code, and either fix it yourself, or better understand why it’s not working. If you need to slightly modify some engine behavior, you’re out of luck with Unity - you have to resort to ugly hacks that sometimes work, but usually at a cost. In Unreal, you just modify the engine code and be done with it.

    Trusting Unity with any feature is also a gamble. Have you started developing a multiplayer game on Unet? Tough, we don’t want to support that anymore. But, we will create a better multiplayer system, just wait for it! Then they removed Unet, and the new networking relacement is widely regarded as pretty much unusable - or at lest it was last time I checked. Thankfully, there are a few amazing open source networking addons.

    In general, while Unity is an ok-ish game engine for smaller hobby projects (but for that, Godot is better), it’s really an awful and frustrating experience once your project size grows and you need to build bigger games, or if you start porting your games to consoles.

    And it’s also really apparent from the way they communicate and threat you company that they don’t give a fuck and only want your money.
