Yeah could be something like that, or a stickied post where I can mark each new edit as complete.

I last brought the wiki fully into sync with the rentry version at the end of October and there’s been few edits since then since re-launching the community edition.

How do feel about the idea of creating a c/Piracy Wiki Updates community, where users can post any updates they come across, and the c/piracy mods (or any local instance users who want to volunteer) can make the edits on the wiki.

It might be a good middle ground between having the wiki completely community-driven and having it curated by one or two people like the rentry one is currently. And it would provide a channel for non local instance users to suggest edits.

Just a suggestion at this stage - if anyone else has any better ideas I’d be glad to hear them :)

I guess, do whatever fits your budget and/or conscience? I don’t think we push a particular philosophy. Folks pirate for different reasons.

There’s a fantastic blog post about the development of the new TSforge method here: https://massgrave.dev/blog/tsforge

Definitely worth a read if you want a behind the scenes look at how exploits are developed.

If y’all want to make a tier list that’d be fine with me. Just so long as it doesn’t start looking like an advertisement :)

Oh I must have missed it

We don’t allow direct links to pirated content. Read the sidebar rules. You don’t seem to understand the community.

This post does break rule 3. Just some advice, if you make a more generic request like “how to bypass paywalls on substack?” that would be totally fine (and there multiple methods). But I’d appreciate it if you removed this post.

It’s not illegal to talk about piracy.

Looks like it’s back up now.

Welcome aboard matey, and also to everyone else who finally jumped ship :)

Would they go to all that effort to nab a few downloaders? They don’t even get prosecuted if caught, usually.

Are they both supposed to be the exact same repack? I looked at your previous post and a virustotal result like that can be quite normal for certain types of patchers. But it could be a virus (you never know) so if you have the option of a cleaner looking repack then I’d say go for that one!

I’m not a debrid guy myself. But glad it’s still working ok for you.

Are you saying they didn’t follow through (yet) with what they stated they would back in November?

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. E.g., when Netflix was actually a good value proposition (i.e., high quality and quantity of content for the price), it was incredibly popular and nobody complained about their pricing. Now that barely anything looks like good value (thanks unfettered capitalism!), piracy is a more and more attractive option. That’s why the big corpos are trying as hard as they can to shut down piracy, so their customers have nowhere else to turn while they keep bumping up the prices for a shittier and shittier selection of content.

In a wide-ranging interview, Gabe Newell dishes about Steam, piracy and Half-Life 3.

The CEO and cofounder of Valve is never short on opinions. As the creator of some of the most beloved games titles (Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life) and owner of the most pervasive online gaming portal for the PC platform, Gabe Newell has earned the right to express them. In an interview for the University of Cambridge’s school newspaper, Newell said that the way to end piracy is to provide a service that’s more complete than cracked software, and that restrictive DRM only encourages more piracy.

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,” he said. “If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

The proof is in the proverbial pudding. “Prior to entering the Russian market, we were told that Russia was a waste of time because everyone would pirate our products. Russia is now about to become [Steam’s] largest market in Europe,” Newell said.

If you are using Plex, you can also configure jellyseerr to monitor the Plex watchlist and it will then auto-grab any missing media via sonarr and radarr. That way they potentially don’t have to learn any new software. Not sure if overseerr can also do that as I haven’t used it, but may also be an option.

I’m now using this docker image. It has a really simple setup. https://github.com/origamiofficial/docker-pihole-unbound

Yeah, but they are facing the same crap in Italy and now France too. Because they lost in Germany, now copyright holders are taking legal action in different jurisdictions in the hope of getting a more favourable ruling (to them). My concern is that over time it’ll be harder and harder to find a DNS provider that’ll correctly resolve piracy-related sites.

I switched to Quad9 since I like how they fought and finally won on appeal the Sony lawsuit (see https://torrentfreak.com/dns-resolver-quad9-wins-pirate-site-blocking-appeal-against-sony-231208/)
