webuge, w Need help to make a super simple setup for my mom !

I would add real-debrid too it speeds the load time. Regarding the subtitles I think you configure it when installing torrentio. For Android TV I have a Firestick tv 4k and Firestick 4k max, both runs streamio+real-debrid+Torrentio very well. For the French content you can configure it to be priority when installing torrentio

If you’re using Radarr/Sonarr, I can’t recommend this guide enough if you want german + english dual language media. github.com/…/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language

Usenet is great once I got SceneNZB recommended. They include content from House of Usenet, a forum for german usenet (getting media from forums can’t be easily automated, which is the big drawback of HoU).

I also found DrunkenSlug recommended, but everything I wanted in german was also on SceneNZB anyway.

squaresinger,

Huh, doesn’t sound too bad. Adblocker takes care of the ads. Slow host, oh well. And the last point I don’t understand.

Tippon,

IGG /nosteam uploads presumably means that they are the sources of the games. I don’t know a huge amount about game piracy, but it sounds like IGG / nosteam are not trustworthy.

IGG is very toxic website that has a history of adding various types of malware (both web and games), including cryptominers.
It's higher on that list, even though for some reason it only highlights the (barely coherent) silliness that it has DRM.

I'm not know the nosteam website, it's odd that they mention it on the list but it's not listed.

Pantrygheist,

Never looked in IGGs direction ever since their spat with gog-games. It showed me they would bury other crackers if they had the chance.

Ganbat,

FMHY’s mod team has moved from Reddit, or at least isn’t as active as they used to be.

They run a site where these lists are gonna be better maintained.

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

I remember it being blacklisted in Reddit’s r/piracy megathread, supposedly they used IGG’s cracks or something. I, however, never had any problems with them.

Tread with caution. Use steamrip.com or other safe sources if you can, and if you have to use this site, at least be wary, read comments and scan the fuck out of everything.

squaresinger,

Thanks for the warning. What’s IGG?

Platform27,

IGG is a cracking group with a mixed reputation. Early on they distributed malware, which continues to give them a negative reputation. Though, I haven’t heard of anything bad about them, in some time… some repackers also use their cracks, with no issues. I think they were the first that cracked the latest Armoured Core, for example.

HerculeanTardigrade,

Since when was IGG a cracking group? They're just uploaders. TENOKE is the one who cracked Armored Core. Repackers use SCENE/P2P cracks like RUNE, TENOKE, EMPRESS, SKIDROW, etc.

IGG is not a cracker. I personally don't trust them. I don't understand why they include unimportant files in their uploads.

  • Free Premium Accounts at OfficialMrB.com.txt (0.8 KB)
  • IGG-GAMES.COM.url (0.2 KB)
  • PCGAMESTORRENTS.COM.url (0.2 KB)
  • README.txt (0.3 KB)
  • _INSTALL TUTORIAL.txt (1.7 KB)

What is the point of including these files? They're irrelevant.

https://old.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/ulsttu/proof_that_i_g_g_games_is_unsafe/i7xbf32/

With or without malware, I ain't risking downloading my games from their uploads.

IGG is bad because some of their repacks had their drm inside dll files, there were Ads built into the game at runtime, were found Cryptominers and startup malware included in their games and many other things.

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!

dingus, w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I generally run on the notion that if it sounds too good to be true and is slick and fancy… it’s probably a scam of some kind.

This site definitely gives that vibe to me.

squaresinger, (edited )

It totally does, that’s why I was asking.

I just wonder what the scam is.

db2,

Probably crypto miners or remote access.

tun,

too good to be true

I miss the kissass torrent days. Couldn’t find anything like original one to this day.

From their FAQ:

Pre-installed means that the game is already installed for you, so you don’t have to. This means all you need to do is download the .zip file, extract it, and run the game. That’s it! Easy, right?

squaresinger,

So they just call it pre-installed because they zip it? Oh well…

Nerd02,

Nah they call it pre-installed because you don’t have to run an installation wizard yourself, which requires administrator permissions. So you could play those games on computers where you don’t have admin access, like a school or work laptop

CraigeryTheKid,

It’s similar to “portable” versions of software. You just run the .exe and of you go.

DarkwinDuck, w What's the best way to get German content?

mygully dot com. You need to log in but it has a lot of stuff. Not via torrent usually tough.

PeachMan, w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?
@PeachMan@lemmy.one avatar

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. It’s possible that this site you found is perfectly safe, but it’s also very possible that it’s a honeypot or they’re serving up their cracks with a side of malware. I would recommend known torrent websites and reputable crack builders. Running a custom, unsigned .exe is already a risky activity, don’t make it more dangerous.

Devjavu, w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?

Some possible issues are:

It could be a honeypot. While this likely won’t be the case, if you connect to a website and download directly from there, depending on your browser and os, general privavy and anonymity, they might be able to fingerprint you. Check against some other databases from sites that you visited today that have your real name and you’re bust. Unlikely, but possible.

If the website gets shut down because of suspicion of malicious activity and they intentified visitors, again, through a fingerprint or similar, it’s beasically the same as a honeypot.

So basically, the complexity of modern web browsing is the general issue. How do you circumvent this? Ideally you don’t. Just use a torrent with a p2p VPN in a secure and anonymous manner and you don’t even have to worry about your Javascript canvas.

Kissaki,
@Kissaki@feddit.de avatar

You lay out a highly sophisticated attack when it’s simple to adjust the downloaded software to call home. Why would anyone invest that much into something like that (you left out where “some other databases” would be and how reliable they would be) when there are much simpler and more reliable approaches?

Devjavu,

I gave examples you twat

TheCaconym, w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?

For decades there have been a wide variety of shady filehosts that will happily host content with no regard for IP and offer downloading for the same (good for them). They manage to make money by offering “premium” subscriptions that allow to download without having to wait / bandwidth limitation (these days you even have services that try to mutualize such premium accounts between users for a smaller fee, using their proxy to serve their own users). For just as long there have been websites that index those direct filehost links, and make money through either ads or members donations. It’s an alternative to torrenting. Gog-games is an example of such an indexing website (there are many, many others). 1fichier is an example of the filehosters I mentioned above (same remark).

To answer your question, the reason they don’t go down is they routinely operate in jurisdictions that are hard to act on by LE in the imperial core; they also often pay lip service to DMCA requests by actually removing content after reports, though they’ll almost universally make the process complicated, long, and pretty useless (not removing identical files reachable from other links, for example).

Can only help with the last point - Nvidia Shield is a beast. I have two of the 2019 Pro and they’re just great, nothing comes even close. I’ve also had the 2017 version and it was great as well. Can’t speak for the base model, haven’t had a chance to try.

noctisatrae,

So it’s snappy and allows for sideloading ? To what extent can you remove the bloat of Google, privacy-wise?

Sharpiemarker,

It’s android, a you can set your own launcher rather than using Nvidia’s.

WeAreAllOne,

LineageOs is your friend. They have a rom for Nvidia Shield which I use for the last year 😉

Have you tried watching F1TV without a VPN after registering?

Works for me, even though F1TV Pro isn’t normally available where I’m from.

“block YouTube ads using a flaw in the Google Protocol Buffer”… until google fixes it, that is.

Still, super cool finding!
