Hello,

I'm a huge fan of DND and of dinosaures.

So the dnd supplement Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs was really the best thing that could be in my suggestions.

For a time they were an Anyflip version, but it has been deleted.

I know i should support the author, but 27$ for a pdf is not in my budget... sometimes i feel that buying food is not in my budget either...

If someone can explain me here or elsewhere how i could get it, it would be very nice.

Minecraft is easy to pirate...but why? Well to answer you: there is 0 effort to pirate it, download the client.jar from mojang official APIs (which is totally FREE) and run the jar without using any valid session ID, done! What...that's too easy, were is the catch? Well you can't have a skin, you can't play minecraft servers that don't allow un-authenticated users and anyone can use the same user without any password
Is that really piracy? I mean i am using a free thing, not messing with microslop shit and servers - yes i did read mojang eula and no- it's not against it.
So i wonder: can we not call it piracy? Dunno...i leave the words to y'all!

Edit: i don't think it's piracy because when you buy minecraft they give you an account to login in their auth servers, but you don't even need to use the auth servers to access the game, just to use realms, access servers that don't allow non authenticated users etc etc

Ahoy everybody. Lately I was thinking about buying Blu-Rays to actually own the media that I enjoy watching. I need some recommendations for player/ripper hardware so I can both backup make a backup and also share what I'll get with you guys.

Let me know of something good and preferably cheap that I can get in the EU. Thanks, guys :)

In a third world country that doesn't care much about individuals torrenting. All 4 ISP we have block Torrent sites but that is easily solved be changing DNS. However, the problem is that we have qouta in here. One gigabyte (home dsl) costs 1.5 pounds, 1 gigabyte on mobile data costs 50 pounds = 1$. You can see the different bundles that two famous ISPs provide which is basically the same in links below: https://eshop.vodafone.com.eg/en/internetServices/dsl/dsl-bundles

They downloaded 300 Terra-byte of Spotify song data, metadata and files and share it as a torrent 😲.

hi, all.

made this program to scrape LinuxRUles! releases from the Torrminator forum,it then adds it to your Alldebrid account and you can also download it locally from the app itself.

you have to provide your Torrminator forum SID and your alldebrid API key

Here it is: https://annas-archive.org/blog/backing-up-spotify.html

Order of events...

1. Looked up IP
2. Connected to Tailscale, set exit node through Mullvad
3. Looked up IP again, was different
4. Started seeding in the background while working on other stuff
5. At one point I saw Tailscale icon flicker
6. Later I got an angry email from my ISP with a timestamp that lined up

Been seeding for years, and this was my first leak. Was for a recent popular film (Linux ISO) that I've been seeding for a year. I contacted Tailscale support to express my concern. This is what they said...

Though we have an open feature request for this (link), I don’t believe there are current plans to add a killswitch to the client for Mullvad.

If this is something that is important to you, the quickest solution to this would be to purchase a Mullvad subscription directly from them, since their client has a number of features more geared towards tightening users online privacy – including a killswitch.

So I suggest not using Tailscale with Mullvad for such purposes. I don't think this is a priority for them. For other uses it's been fine.

I imagine this could have been avoided with a restrictive torrent client configuration, as is typically recommended online. I've tried and failed to get that working in the past. I'll try again once I change out my VPN. If you've been putting that off, learn from my mistake and look into it!

Using this userscript I made : git.kaki87.net/KaKi87/userscripts/protonmailWithoutAnnoyances

ProtonMail allows scheduling and snoozing messages for free at preset times, e.g. tomorrow, next Monday, this weekend, etc., and always at 8, but makes people pay to choose a customized date and time.

I had a hunch that this restriction might only be implemented client-side, so I tried modifying the value in DevTools for the first time, and I couldn't believe it : that worked !

So, in order to automate this, I created a userscript that replaces the button press handler for the "custom" option, then lets you input whatever value you need, e.g. (next) Wednesday, (in) 30 minutes, (today at) 8 PM, Thursday at 7 (AM), etc.

Then, it lets the app believe that we're gonna schedule using the tomorrow preset, until it intercepts the request and swaps the time value with the user's choice.

Enjoy !

Hello people,

We (my SO and I) bought a Raspberry Pi 5 in the hopes of setting up like a HTPC on our living room TV, with the possibility of streaming torrents through it in 4K possibly. The problem is that I am an ~~incapable failure~~ absolute noob when it comes to everything internet streaming related, and so this got way too complicated way too fast and now I'm burned out and wanting to throw the fucking brick off the balcony, but that would be more than 150€ of our money lying on the cold, wet grass downstairs with nothing gained but a renewed sense of absolute failure on my part.

So can you help?

I installed LibreELEC and Kodi on it (and Mullvad VPN somehow, though the current setup uses OpenVPN which is getting removed in January 2026 so I'll have to migrate it to Wireguard eventually...) and then got Jacktook up and running. Eventually I realized I had to install and configure some other things too, so I decided to go with TorrServer. I also bought a 30-day subscription to Real-Debrid because apparently that is needed? I have no idea anymore, Kodi itself throws errors related to searches and shit, but I don't know how to access them on the machine, plus the UI/UX is way too clunky for my taste. I'd probably need to setup SSH to be able to access it easily from my desktop Arch Linux (btw), but last time I tried configuring even that was way too cumbersome and went way over my head. And the problem might even be the VPN that I set up, but I really don't know anymore and hate everything about not knowing.

Ever since RARBG shut down, finding scene releases for shows and movies has been arduous if not outright impossible. I usually frequent 1337x, limetorrents and sometimes tpb.party, but unless you're looking for something that was released in the past 6 months, chances are you're out of luck as far as scene releases are concerned due to torrents either not existing or having no seeders (which may as well be the same thing).

Curious to hear what the people in this community use to find scene releases. Torrents, usenet, vooodoo magick, I'll take anything at this point.

These stats capture 1 year of torrenting on a TrueNas scale machine I built as soon as fiber showed up on my street. It was my first ever proper rack mount server. I use this machine primarily for torrenting and jellyfin transcoding via an RTX 2080. The plan is to soon set it up for navidrome. Machine sits around 230 watts. Feel free to offer TrueNas scale tips.

Hi all I have a few TVs around the house and have previously used firestick and stremio setup. I do like stremio tbh but I am trying to decode/deamazon etc so I need an alternative option for the TVs. Not all are smart TVs and I like it that way so accept a small box attached is the cost.

I tend to basically use stremio and cinema HD at a push., and a VPN app. A few uk tv catchup apps. I don’t need recording or storage. I will likely move to some self hosting/serve in the next year.

I am trying to be conscious of my purchases and who I am buying, and also take steps to protect my privacy. I have a few to buy so budget needs to not be on the higher end.

Thanks in advance
