eroc1990, w Torrebting security.
@eroc1990@lemmy.parastor.net avatar

What do you use as a torrenting client? Most popular ones give you the ability to choose a specific interface over which it will allow incoming/outgoing connections to other peers. Your ProtonVPN should have its own interface you can select from your client. That should make it much less likely for that to happen again if Proton crashes, since if Proton crashes, that network interface disconnects.

Stuka,

Using Qbittorrent, I didn’t know about that feature when the leak happened, but its been enabled ever since.

Pulp,

That feature is the most important one. No matter what data is only sent through VPN

Install app. Firewall it. Enjoy your free game, provided the Devs aren’t assholes. Provide 1 star rating if they are.

HumanPerson, w jellyfin with subtitles on Chromecast

I believe jellyfin has an option to ‘burn in’ subtitles so they are part of the video. I don’t know how this effects performance or anything but it should work for what you described. I believe you can turn it on through the admin web ui.

7h0m4s,

This is indeed the correct answer. It is under the transcoding options. Your server will essentially need to re-transcode the video on the fly to add in subtitles. Which requires a not insignificant amount of processing power.

I ran into this issue while running jellyfin on a raspberry pi.

So long as your server has hardware acceleration turned on. To allow jellyfin to use your GPU for transcoding. You should be fine.

I’m favoring h265 10-bit for my library recently. Whether SDR or not, it seems to provide a slightly better compression ratio and fewer banding artifacts than 8-bit. Any player that can handle 4K streaming content can decode h265 10-bit, so there’s a ton of forward compatibility for the foreseeable future

Rodrigo_de_Mendoza,

So, any device that handles 4K should be able to handle H.265. Good informattion to know. Thanks for the input!

ultratiem, w Is the TNT version of macpaw gemini safe?
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

No that website is not safe. TNT is fine but whatever people inject into their cracks beware. Make sure it’s a proper, unedited TNT release.

Also, stop using that trash software. macOS doesn’t need to be “cleaned.”

Wolverine6154,

FMHY still lists cmacked as an option for Mac software. Why do you say it’s unsafe?

Also how do you verify a TNT release is unedited?

first_ad4972,

If cmacked isn’t safe which website can I download Mac apps cracked by tnt? (Or other safe cracks)

Mac serial junkies. Only trustworthy place that’s open for reg.

They have a guide of sites to avoid. Cmacapps and Mac torrents are listed (among others).

In fact, Mac torrents was where I was infected with something. Only time I’ve ever gotten a thing on Mac.

Is Cmacapps the same as Cmacked? I’ve never had a problem when using Cmacked

@ChoKohii@reddthat.com avatar

agree with you on that second point. i stopped using CleanMyMac after some scathing reviews about its functionality.

honestly macOS is fine on its own to deal with stuff like this and cleaning, so third-party programs are kind of unnecessary. the only program i’m okay with nowadays is OnyX as it’s a nice toolbox for utilities

Matth78,

TorrentFreak is only a blog about news related to piracy. Either it’s evolution or fight against it.

As far as I know they don’t operate anything enabling you to pirate things !?! I don’t understand where you got that idea? Or it’s not something I knew and it isn’t apparent on their website.

I quote from the about section :

“TorrentFreak is a publication dedicated to bringing the latest news about copyright, privacy, and everything related to filesharing. We are not a news aggregator but focus on unique and fresh stories. TorrentFreak is where news and copyright issues collide.”

WeirdGoesPro, w Is the TNT version of macpaw gemini safe?
@WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’ve found TNT to be a safe release group, but I haven’t had much experience with cmacked.com. If it is unaltered from TNT’s original release, I would presume it to be safe.

Software cracks often register as malware. I think it is a combination of an attempt at copyright protection, plus the fact that many cracks are essentially breaking, blocking, or spoofing the registration of the software to allow an illegitimate version to run. Just because it says it thinks it is malware doesn’t actually mean that it will do anything malicious to your system that you didn’t already intend for the pirated software.

If you’re super nervous about it, install it in a VM and see what happens.

Xirup, w How to install Starfield
@Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

In the case of Linux I strongly recommend that you never use installers or repacks, which usually have a high probability of failure with Wine in my experience.

I can’t confirm right now because I haven’t downloaded Starfield yet, but try to only use portable versions of games, like the ones Steamrip offers, where you just download a .zip and you’re all set, just run the .exe in Wine and play as if it were Windows.

Although Starfield is currently not available on Steamrip, you can find a portable version of Starfield on Rutracker.

svamp,

The only problem I have encountered using installers/repacks with Lutris is that they sometimes can’t create the installation folder. Creating it manually in the .wine folder is the only workaround I have found.

smpl, w How to code an extractor streaming platform?
@smpl@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I build a lot of tools like that and the first thing I do is to go to the developer tool in my browser and observe the network traffic. When you find the resource you’re after you scroll back and see what requests resulted in that URL. Going from those requests you figure out in the original static HTML document and resource, which parameters are used for the construction of the URL, that might require reversing some javascript, but that’s rare. After that you’ll have a pretty good idea how you obtain the video resource from the original URL. Beware of cookie set by the requests, they might be needed to access the next requests. For building my tools I use Perl or sometimes just Bash or a GreaseMonkey userscript to fetch and parse the urls and construct the desired output.

@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

We need to start creating an AI for that as soon this might get too complex for a human to crack.

reddithalation,

i really dont think ai is the solution to this problem. if humans made it, humans can crack it

B3_CHAD,

No, any sufficiently advanced A.I can and will outclass humans. For example: there are chess A.I’s that have beaten GM’s as good as Magnus Carlsen on multiple occasions. The better an A.I gets at something the tougher it becomes to counter it. This is one of the biggest risks of A.I development that one day we might make something that makes us seem obsolete. On the positive side that day is really really far.

Sharpiemarker,

Lol

reddithalation,

ok.

i have my own opinions on ai, but all of that doesnt matter in relation to cracking denuvo because humans can and do crack it.

i bet everyone with the skills to reverse engineer it has a nice job in cybersecurity (like working at denuvo), instead of cracking video games for some donations.

@whodoctor11@lemmy.ml avatar

First: you’re comparing Chess, what’s a super simple algorithm, in what machines already “outclassed humans” like, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Blue_versus_Garry_Kasparov, with anything humans can do. That’s is simplist and wrong.

Second: until today, the so called Artificial “Intelligence” were only capable of, by consulting a human made big catalogue of many things humans did, reproduce some parts of it or resume a little, what is not that difficult if you have a good synonyms dictionary and tons of human people training you on what is a decent resume and what isn’t. In resume, A.“I.” doesn’t do anything that people didn’t did before, and, when it comes to write texts, it does something objectly worst, in a self-help level of writing. A."I. isn’t creative.

Third: still, there are objectly a bunch of works that are under attack by A.“I.”. The thing about this works is that: or they were obviously possible to be automated before, or they are pointless, or they’ve been doing automatically (a.k.a. alienabally) by the workers, or all the above.

Fourth: the big guys who are trying to sell everyone the idea that A.“I.” will “outclass all of us” want to believe that there’s no need for human work to generate income, what’s is materialistically and economically not true at all. They say they dream of a world without hard work, actually they mean a world without us, working class people. But they’re wrong, they are still depending on our existence as a class and always will be until the day there will be no classes anymore.

@Kissaki@feddit.de avatar

Where between being beaten in chess and making us obsolete do you think we are? Where do you think cracking games is between chess and human mind?

I think your estimation is off by a lot.

Auli,

I don’t know if AI is technically better it’s just different and doesn’t play like a human. Humans hate lossing pieces but AI doesn’t care as long as the outcome is a win.

gjghkk,

Newsflash: Humans also sacrifice pieces in chess. Chess engines are mathematical beasts that are designed for these things only. But what is more important: Chess engines also needs to be made by humans.

Send_me_nude_girls,
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

AI absolutely plays like a human as it’s trained by humans. The only difference is, AI will do the most optimal move, while humans might hesitate. That’s also the reason why it’s bad to put AI into fighter or bomber jets. The AI has a clear goal but a human might struggle to fire at an unknown target. Because the human has to life with the consequences.

Auli,

That’s false.

reddithalation,

how so? ignoring mathematically unbreakable things like encryption, given enough time, i think pretty much anything could be reverse engineered and cracked, its just a matter of how much time it would take

Delusions,

ignoring mathematically unbreakable things like encryption

That’s literally how it’s false.

reddithalation,

yeah but your cpu has to run the unencrypted game, and so i would think its currently impossible to have a local, 100% uncrackable game

Send_me_nude_girls,
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

DRM already only does check for validity every other frame or even minute. There’s no use in a game that just closes because it recognized a violation. You do know what causes Denuvo fps spikes? It’s whenever it checks. Of course the software got better by now so it’s less of an issue but it’s still there.

Send_me_nude_girls,
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

Look up RSA algorithms and project that to other mathematically complex DRM protections. You’re wrong because you don’t understand the tech.

reddithalation,

all im saying is that, if I own the CPU that runs the game, there are incredible advanced techniques for reverse engineering, and given enough time and effort i think it would always be possible.

encryption isnt exactly the same thing here, because encrypted data just sits there until its unencrypted, but it NEEDS to be unencrypted for your CPU to run it.

the CPU has to read code that it can execute, and if you can get that code, its probably impossible to have an uncrackable game. that doesnt apply to video game cracking, but I’m sure the NSA could crack denuvo if they wanted to, and could crack any game DRM.

at the very extreme, if i know the state of all of the transistors and etc inside my computer, nothing is uncrackable. thats all I’m trying to say. yes denuvo will likely get too complicated for anyone to try to crack it, but given enough time and resources, it would be cracked.

Kissaki,
@Kissaki@feddit.de avatar

Current AI is not smarter than humans. It needs supervised training, and then acts according to that. That’s inherently incompatible to novelty and correct exploration.

Send_me_nude_girls,
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

AI is good in doing complex things but bad at doing easy things. Supervision is required at first for learning of course, there’s no AI that works out of the box.

Kissaki,
@Kissaki@feddit.de avatar

That assessment entirely depends on what you consider “complex” and “easy”.

What do you mean by it’s bad at doing easy things but good at doing complex things? I don’t see how something complex would work better than something easy.

Send_me_nude_girls,
@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

In short.

Look up what AI does good right now, like finding complex solutions to mathematical issues a human couldn’t. Calculate stuff very fast, replicate natural language etc.

Look up what AI struggles with at the moment, like drawing hands or recognizing objects or driving a car.

This statement is only valid in this current state, as AI is advancing faster than most peoples mind by now. Most people have yet to understand LLM or generative AI models.

That’s what I’m talking about. If you look at the process required to crack Denuvo, then you’ll notice that there’s a lot of guesswork done, something the AI is good at if learned properly. The amount of people who know how to and are willing to spend time cracking Denuvo is shrinking by the day. The amount of software DRM encrypted is rising every day. We need automation soon.

AI will soon be mandatory for software security as malicious actors will use AI to find zero day exploits and you want an AI to protect you from those real time threats. Anti Virus software already work somewhat into that direction by now but there’s still much room.

justastranger,

It’s not even real AI lol there’s no thought, just text transformation

chicken,

This problem seems like the sort of thing machine learning could be good at though. You have some input binary code that doesn’t run, you want an output that does, you have available training data of inputs and correct matching outputs.
