Share your cool Libre or Piracy tips that you impress your friends with
Websites or software or anything really that would interest "normies"
For me it's uBlock Origin, Newpipe and showing them how to pirate in general.
Sponsorblock is the rare example of "crowdsourcing" actually being good and useful instead of a techbro scam.
Anna's archive has all the books.
I just link the fitgirl repacks site page for whatever game somebody is complaining about the price of.
NAPS2 is an open source, cross platform PDF manipulation tool. You can do for free a lot of what Adobe charges subscription fees for.
Nice! Another tool to fav, ty!
if you can get an invite, which isn't too difficult, torrentleech is a great private tracker
qbittorrent's built in search feature is phenomenal. it makes it really easy to find stuff. i don't know why its disabled by default...
any good methods of getting an inv? i know there's special forums and stuff but there's so many of them. im on IPT and wanna get on TL cause it seems less sleazy
By far the easiest way to find working illegal streams of any movie, show, or anime is to simple go to Yandex, type in the name, and then append "stream online free"
Most other search engines take these down for copyright but Russian laws don't give a fuck
LibreWolf is the closest I got. Firefox but without ads or inbuilt tracking! Plus better default privacy settings.
Most Mobile Firefox users don't even realise Mozilla was happily selling their data. They since changed it, not sure what the case is now.
I have Termux on my phone, and I use a bash script as the ~/bin/termux-url-opener then uses yt-dlp to download the video on whatever site I shared to the app via the systems "share" interface. So, if I see a YouTube video I want to re-upload, I share it to Termux, and it automatically downloads the video to my phone. yt-dlp doesn't just download YouTube videos, either. It works on numerous sites. So I can download a Reddit video, Twitter video, TikTok video, etc. and quickly re-upload it to https://tankie.tube/ for example.
Could you share your script/config??

I found this on github which is what I use. Hasn't been updated in a while but it still works for me.
There are plenty of free Manga reading apps on F-Droid and other FOSS repositories. They pull from all the scan sites and are a better interface than reading in your browser.
The easiest way to torrent is setting up the search plugins in Qbittorrent, then there's jackett and a bunch of other options you can expand into. This keeps you off the dodgy torrenting sites and is a workaround if they're blocked in your country
I pay ~$12 for a seedbox with Plex/jellyfin and share it with my friends and family. Feels good to save them from having to rent a movie or pay for a month of streaming just to watch one show.
What host do you use?
I use hostingby.design - plans start at 8 euros but I have the 4 TB plan
It hasn't always been perfect but its very cheap, and the tech support in their discord is always helpful
https://github.com/JamesRy96/audiobookbay-automated
https://github.com/calibrain/calibre-web-automated-book-downloader
These are crude downloaders with WebUI's for downloading audiobooks and ebooks respectively, using annas-archive and audiobookbay. I recently connected them up to Calibre-web-automated and Audiobookshelf, so my less tech literate partner can easily download and read pirated books without any work on my part.
Nothing special, but it's basically like an *arr stack for books.
you dont actually need a VPN, ive been torrenting and pirating stuff for like 15 years and nothing has ever happened
Please stop telling people this. Depending on where you are, pirating without a vpn can have actual consequences.
Most of the ways in which you get caught pirating come from torrenting on very public trackers, using your naked internet connection. There are people who just sit on these torrents and log the IPs of those seeding and downloading, do a lookup on them and send canned letters to the ISP with the IP address in them. I received a letter back in the day for exactly this reason. If you're on a private tracker, yeah, it could be fine. Downloading things directly from a site is fine if the site has SSL set up, since all someone could see from that traffic is you going to xyz.com and not xyz.com/movies/shreck2.mp4
You have had the luck to not need a VPN. Plenty of people don't. Plenty of people need a VPN. It's generally a better idea to use a good VPN (Mullvad, or paid Proton if you absolutely need port forwarding) when torrenting.
Same but it depends where you are in the world
Another one is KOReader. It's a great eBook app that can be a bit intimidating with its UI, but is good once you know your way around it.
You can also jailbreak kindles to install it as an app too so you can read epub ebooks
prowlarr for the ones that already pirate. i like showing them that you can search all your favorite trackers at once
Hydra Launcher for PC games is the easiest way to pirate, and Neko for manga on Android.
It’s maybe only marginally piracy, but yt_dlp can be used to automatically scrape channels and playlists.
Useful when you watch a lot of stuff that gets taken down.
