I guess I’d ask where the jellyfin shares are at?

I run my own and I’d love to share it with more people

Keylogging or screen recording basically.

Isnt that basically what a number of kodi and stremio addons do?

However, I don’t get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it’s faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

I make use of deezeloader, deemix and/or streamrip, which is what I use because unlock Spotify deezet, qobuz and tidal (supported by streamrjp) have true lossless flac audio available.

Lidar can be extended to work with them instead of torrents.

Does your device have a headphone jack?

You can get torrents full of the archives from sites that used to host tabs for GuitarPro and pirate that software, the one downside is , its like tens of thousands of tabs so its a bit much to organize.

Songsterr seems usable to me with adblocking on, Also I often just search YouTube and find videos with tabs displayed.

Yt-dlp, just go to the page with your song or playlist and past that into yt-dlp on PC.

You mostly just have to use your judgment. Sites that steal names probably are just trying to cash in on ads, its not really that they are outright malicious though (not always anyway), and if youre acessing them by using prowlarr as opposed to going to the site in a dedicated tab then you probably have nothing to worry about.

All these clone sites are just using the same feeds and magnet links for sources, they have no original content so if you ad too many your results get cluttered but torrents on them shouldn’t be any less safe than tpb or 1337x

Private trackers are always the way to go if you care about quality.

Nitter still works but you’ll get rate limited pretty fast. I don’t think anything other than paying twitter money gets around rate limits.

Jellyfin + the ARRs works great.

The term you want to use is “private tracker”

Those are my go to sites, fairly easy to get an invite to

The shield is still the best even if it is old. If you want a cheaper device the “onn” ones Walmart sells are pretty good for the price.

Calling out hypocrisy is not the same as defending China and TikTok.

I guess technically am not pirating all the games Epic gives me for free.

I’ll buy most things I like on steam once they hit under ten bucks. It’s mainly just for convenience.

Deemix works great for flac or 320kbps mp3, it’s really easy to get ARI codes for free

There is two editions of them one with digital noise reduction and one without. You probably got the “No DNR” version of 4k80.

I think archive.org has both. the file/torrent name should be the same just with “DNR” instead of “No DNR”

4k77, 4k80, and 4k83 are the names given to the fan attempt to digitize the original 35mm film reel verisons of the star wars trilogy.

DMCA applies to all ISPs in the US, Google will forward notices just like any other isp. In theory they could ban you per terms of service, in practice they probably won’t bother.

A VPN is $5 a month, and you’ll never have to worry about even getting the notices, but I’m sure you already knew that.

MeGusta and Im pretty sure all other x265 groups aren’t really considered official scene releases and usually the sources are the larger x264 scene releases. I’ve found that you can get the same if not better results as MeGusta encoding with a simple -cq 27 with the nvenc_h265 encoder which is reasonably fast.

A good portion of the world thats pirating media is playing it cheap junk with 10+ year old CPUs that can’t handle x265, most do not have terabytes of media they just watch and delete so overall size isnt a huge issue, most likely when a new codec does become more mainstream, it won’t actually mean smaller releases anyway, it will just mean better quality ones.

In the 00’s the standard everyone used was 800mb DivX because thats the size CD-Rs came in, over time, going into the 2010s we got x264 releases but the targets were around 4-8gb usually and by that point the size of optical media didn’t really matter since flash drives are cheap and reusable and overall internet speeds for people continues to increase as well so its more likely that when the day comes, the scene will probably coalesce around something like 8-16gb per release.
