I just got a second-hand Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II for school and need the student software to send files to the CAS. However, I did not have the activation code for the programme since the CAS was second hand. I have looked through the MegaThread but have no luck :(

[Screenshot of website](https://imgur.com/a/UERWnxi) It is a sad day and year for Piracy. Soap2Day was the best of the best. So was RARBG. Why are all these piracy sites dropping like flies? There was no warning/explanation for why they went down. Higher running/maintenance cost doesn't explain it, because why not just temporarily shut down until the bills come down? Plus, the timing is bang in the middle of the reddit protest too, which is setting my conspiracy alarms off.

This tv show is showing as empty in my Vero (running OSMC / Kodi) https://thetvdb.com/series/race-across-the-world#seasons I have to go to Videos - >Files to see it. It's showing as empty under TV Shows. I'm using my standard *arr setup so the naming is standard. It's working fine for all other shows. The only thing I can think of is that the seasons have a unique name, like it contains Latin America?

Does Jellyfin piracy plugins repositories exists? if so, can you please point me to them ? :) Love you

ever since the downfall of soccerstreams/nbastreams on reddit, its been a pain in the ass to find reliable streamers with good quality + low delay. Anyone have any recommendations?

Just got DMCA takedown notices from Github for my rarbg dump forks. The originals were also taken down. - https://github.com/sleaze/rarbg-db-dumps - https://github.com/2004content/rarbg

So I've not seen it mentioned before, but if you want to start getting into private trackers, you can check out the private tracker general thread (/ptg/) on the /g/ board of 4chan 4chan is what it is, but there is a lot of good info in just the OP (please read the OP entirely before posting, I beg of you), and that's how I got into private trackers PS: you wont get any invite, dont ask for them

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/14knc6t/got_r4d_for_pirating_someone_elses_john_oliver_so/ Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit. I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don't want to move.

It's an Australian TV series that is not streaming anywhere. I can't find it though on any torrent sites. I wonder if anyone here has it, or a link to a magnet or similar? Thank you

I'm curious who your favorite torrent uploaders are (sorted by quality) e.g. QxR, UTR, etc.

I know of the sitewide rips on TorrentGalaxy, but they don't have the newer stuff. Any site which tracks everything that gets uploaded to it?

I've been using Clipgrab (macOS) to download music (mp3s) from YouTube. I've seen some mentions that the quality (real bitrate as opposed to what the file states) is bad to begin with on YouTube and that downloaders might make it worse. How bad is the quality of what I'm downloading? Any better downloaders or does the quality suck to begin with?

Hi, In short: will I run the risk of receiving an angry Hetzner e-mail telling me to stop downloading torrents when I configer my local deluge client to connect through a local[ gluetun VPN](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) client to a selfhosted wireguard vpn on a hetzner server? I have limited knowledge of VPNs but as far as I understand it the connection provided through gluetun from client to server (vpn) is safe, encrypted, private (somewhat) But connections from the (vpn) server to the public tracker is not, right? Or does the vpn tunnel extend to the destination? Context: I am running a deluge torrent client to download and seed torrents coming from radarr and sonarr its all running containerized through docker on my local machine. The Deluge client is using a VPN connection (via Windscribe) through a gluetun vpn client. `https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun. I am not very happy with the speeds of Windscribe and I have small Hetzner server running with a wireguard vpn container I got working, that I hope should provide a faster download/upload speed. Hetzner is pretty strict when it comes to downloading torrents from public trackers. A couple of years ago I basically had my plex server and a deluge client running on one of their servers. At first I used only private trackers but some content was not available so I added some torrents from public trackers. A couple of days after I got an angry e-mail from viacom through hetzner telling to quit it. Does anyone self host their VPN and on what? And do you use it for downloading?

Arrrrr...

So there's a fantastic site called chronolists.com... It's a bit incomplete from the dataset perspective, seems to be missing the "latest" releases (the 2022 Fantastics Beasts for example), and is limited to very particular "universes". Is there an *arr that does this? Automatically grab the items you have and populate playlists like "Stargate - Chronological", "Stargate - Airdate", etc... And as items are added to your library that were missing in the "universe" it fills in the playlists. Playlistarr?

I just want to share this resource in case people didn't know it. It describes itself as the world’s largest open-source open-data library. And Includes Sci-Hub, Library Genesis, Z-Library, and more.

https://old.reddit.com/r/piracy What's up with that? Moving back to reddit already? Nice to have access to old posts though.

After that, 4k support will vanish, enjoy the price increase! Also, Dolby Atmos audio will also go away after that 6 months, too. Streaming services truly are a race to the bottom now, aren't they? I've already cancelled. Back to the high seas for me.

With the torrent sites slow/stalled, any suggestions on seeing this UFC PPV tonight? I’m in the US

was looking for something as an all in one docker container for usenet say like [saltbox](https://docs.saltbox.dev/saltbox/basics/basics/) or other projects are for seedboxes/torrenting

Hey guys, made an account here. I had originally setup an account on the FMHY instance but its been down for the past half a day or so. Anybody know what's going on? Were they hacked or something? Or are they just doing some sort of server maintenance? Either way, I'm happy to be here with fellow pirates and looking forward to continuing sailing the seven seas with you lot. ARRGH

I wanted to set up a monsta FTP server on my dashboard and have it automatically log me in to the server, but I learned that you needed a Buisness license, which costs MONEY. I couldnt let this stand. Luckily they ppl at this company had written their entire codebase in uncompiled, unobfuscated PHP and were trying to claim it as "not open source". I wanted some practice cracking software for future piracy stuff so, two days and 34 php.net tabs later and I made this script. Also as an extra slap in the face, I wrote it in the monsta FTP editor. ```php <?php //Set mftp path and website url here because idk how to read CLI args in PHP $mftp_path = "/srv/mftp/"; $website_url = ""; //New license data $license_data = '{"email":"[email protected]","purchaseDate":1688671221,"expiryDate":4844344881,"version":"2.10.4","isTrial":false,"licenseVersion":3,"productEdition":1}'; $encrypted_license_data = ''; //Keypair $private_key = openssl_pkey_new(); $public_key_pem = openssl_pkey_get_details($private_key)['key']; $public_key_path = $mftp_path . "application/api/resources/monsta_public.pem"; file_put_contents($public_key_path, $public_key_pem); //Encrypt license data openssl_private_encrypt($license_data, $encrypted_license_data, $private_key); $output = base64_encode($encrypted_license_data); //Disarm license checker $affiliate_checker_path = $mftp_path . "application/api/licensing/AffiliateChecker.php"; $affiliate_replacement_url = $website_url . "/application/api/licensing/true.php"; $affiliate_replacement_path = $mftp_path . "application/api/licensing/true.php"; $affiliate_contents = file_get_contents($affiliate_checker_path); $affiliate_contents_new = str_replace("https://www.monstaftp.com/_callbacks/affiliate-tracker.php", $affiliate_replacement_url, $affiliate_contents); file_put_contents($affiliate_checker_path, $affiliate_contents_new); file_put_contents($affiliate_replacement_path, "<?php echo true; ?>"); //Turn ugly license into handsome license $monsta_license_start = "===== MONSTA LICENSE START (INCLUDING THIS LINE) ====="; $monsta_license_end = "===== MONSTA LICENSE END (INCLUDING THIS LINE) ====="; $monsta_license = ""; $monsta_count = 0; $monsta_substr = substr($output, 0, strlen($monsta_license_start)); while (strlen($monsta_substr) === strlen($monsta_license_start)) { $monsta_substr = substr($output, $monsta_count, strlen($monsta_license_start)); $monsta_count = $monsta_count + strlen($monsta_license_start); $monsta_license = $monsta_license . "\r\n" . $monsta_substr; } $monsta_license = $monsta_license_start . $monsta_license . "\r\n" . substr($output, $monsta_count) . $monsta_license_end . "\r\n"; //Done echo "Here is your license \r\n"; echo $monsta_license; echo "Paste it into upgrade menu \r\n"; ?> ``` I didnt really test it that well so comment if it needs edits

I have a paid Usenet account with good retention and I download through sabnzbd. I've only ever used nzbindex.com as an indexer. For a long time it was easy to find TV/movies but in recent years it's become almost impossible. Has Usenet become a bad option because of takedowns or am I missing a modern way of using it? I see there are lots of binaries posted with cryptic or random string names. Are these supposed to be regular TV/movies etc. with obfuscated names so they can't be found and taken down? Do better/private indexers give access to these files or otherwise solve not being to find anything? Is it still supposed to be possible to find reliable new release shows and movies? Are Sonarr/Radarr are what I need, do they solve the problem of not being able to find files, or do they just provide more convenience for the same files I can already find?

I have started using Usenet for videos, and for that it is great. But I really having difficulty finding eBooks/Audiobooks. MAM (torrent) is really the only thing my Readarr is making use of, and I'd like a wider selection. Do you have suggestions for finding eBooks/Audiobooks on Usenet? Thanks

At first this article reads like your typical anti-piracy screed. It rants about how 10x more people watched GoT illegally (confusing them with lost sales) and ends with how downloading movies can get your credit card stolen. The middle of the article however, destroys the author's case. >Time Warner (owning company of HBO) CEO Alan Bewkes stated in 2013 how becoming the most illegally streamed show in history was “better than an Emmy” and that torrenting ultimately led to more paid subscriptions. >“We’ve been dealing with this for 20, 30 years—people sharing subs, running wires down the backs of apartment buildings. Our experience is that it leads to more paying subs. I think you’re right that Game of Thrones is the most pirated show in the world and that’s better than an Emmy.” The CEO of Time Warner, who knows more about the finances of his own show than ForeverGeek writer Tom Llewellyn, championed piracy and said that it brought them more subscribers rather than nearly destroying the show as the article claims. Needless to say, Tom forwent a rebuttal in favor of writing how you can get malware from downloading it... Anti-Piracy Propaganda: 0 Truth: 1

The only things missing from the Github repo are the game assets (kinda like half-life), but those can be obtained by buying the game on steam.

As a long time Sailer of the seas, I have decided to automate my collection and just started looking into source lists, trakt. My question, who are some of the top providers for their lists on trakt? I would like to subscribe and follow some of them who are creating the best lists to add to my collection.

Hey fellow pirates, new to the fediverse but I thought I would share a torrent of the complete RARBG database in txt format that I downloaded from https://github.com/2004content/rarbg on 6/4 about a week before the github page got taken down: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:69ffcaa45d6fdc112832dd6c158fdca7e1eee912&dn=Github_RARBG_db.7z To download, copy and paste that link into your client where it says add torrent link. This is the most complete database I've seen, with 3,459,526 magnet links, and it is easy use because it is formatted as a single 395 mb text file. Just open with notepad++ or notepad2 and search. (just make sure to use periods instead of spaces when searching titles) I'm always seeing a lot of incomplete versions of this database floating around, along with that old sqlite one from r/piratedgames that this one is based on, so I thought I'd make an account just to share this awesome work by 2004content. Enjoy, and happy seeding! Edit: See my comment below for the link with trackers added if you have trouble downloading trackerless torrents (the database itself contains trackerless links, so you will have to add trackers manually for those if needed.)

These are a life-saver in my house with my 2-year-old. I haven't been able to find a single post on any piracy channels or public/private trackers. The top one in our house is I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen. Please help, mateys!

I recently fell in love with old school sifi movies again with my favourites being Alien and the Predator, naturally bringing me to Alien Vs Predator. And from movies cae the games which led me to discover that what could be objectively the best avp game of them all avp 2. Is all but impossible to obtain. Anywhere. GOG has avp1 and steam has avp(2010) but nowhere on the internet is it possible to legally purchase the game without going into the clutches of the second hand market and combatting the corrosion of disc media. Strangely this game is too young to emulate yet too old to be available as a classic. However there was hope for me as a small community kept this game alive through patches and free publically available iso files and installers, aswell as multiplayer servers. This game is beloved enough to have 16k votes on the gog community wishlist. But yet we still have to rely on patch installers and unpacking iso files. What other games and software that lay abandoned could the high seas of the internet save? tldr; piracy saves abandonded games and software, whats your favourite? discuss.

I [have seen that](https://www.jamf.com/blog/cryptojacking-macos-malware-discovered-by-jamf-threat-labs/) Ventura has much tighter inspections of modifications to executables. From that article : >The more stringent codesigning checks in Ventura verify that all notarized apps are correctly signed and have not been modified by unauthorized processes, even after the first launch. This is an improvement from previous versions of macOS, where Gatekeeper would only validate applications during their initial launch and would regard the file as trusted once it was successfully launched. Should I stick with the previous MacOS version for as long as possible? I really don't want to have to give money to fucking Adobe. ::: spoiler spoiler Also - shut up, the apple lappie was literally half price because of a superficial tiny dent on one corner. I mostly use Linux. :::

anyone tried the cracked iclone8 from gfx-hub? It seems Reallusion made it impossible to use a pirated edition or even working offline.

I had this idea, and it's probably dumb, but hear me out and let me know what you think. I really like movies. Streaming services are currently the best legal option to watch movies afaik, but often they don't have that specific and maybe also old movie I want to watch - even with 3 different streaming services. Then I could rent it, but paying like 8 bucks every time I want to watch a movie is too much. If I could buy and download a free (free as in no drm or other bullshit shenanigans) digital copy of a movie for a reasonable price I would be all over that shit. But as we all know the greedy capitalists can't keep milking the same old cashcows if the users have a permanent copy that they can potentially also distribute so that won't happen any time soon. So my idea was what is we as a public group (movie enthusiasts) joined and made a company funded by something like gofundme or similar. The sole purpose of the company would be to buy rights to movies and hosting digital copies free to download for anyone. Wouldn't that be something. Legal digital movies by the public for the public.
