I need to get into usenet. What exactly makes it so much better? I mean, apparently it's not seeding... but then how is it they can't just take it down?

For one its the speed, my downloads are only limited by the bandwidth that my VPN connection can manage which is usually 1Gb/s. When it comes to takedowns, everything on usenet is served as split archives which your client assembles at the end. There is also par2 which allows for some of the archive parts to be missing and as long as enough of the download exists you can still complete the download. Finally, you can use different usenet providers located on different backbones so if provider A has a few parts DMCAd provider B may still be able to serve them to you. The way most people that do this is to have a subscription to one or two of the big backbones and pay for one off block accounts (x$ for yTB) on others. Below is what I've pulled down since April. The first 3 are subscriptions (although easynews is free with eweka) and the last 2 are blocks that I bought years ago.

Its also worth mentioning that having usenet provider access is only one part, you also need indexers. Files on usenet have random names so the indexers are needed to be able to search normally for whatever you want to download. The image below shows how the files are named.

If you decide to go the usenet route, hang fire until next month when the Black Friday deals start, its by far the best time of year to get into it.

Probably the same reason we don't sign up for NASA to fly a space ship, hire a team and find sponsors to drive at NASCAR, join the NFL to play football or enlist in the Army to shoot sand niggers.

I get that you're doing the "it changed so it sucks now" shtick and you'll complain no matter what tool is offered, but here's the simplest TOTP code generator on earth. Open source, public domain, follows the standard. The portable version is 139KB compressed. Available for Windows and Linux. No password manager, no databases, nothing but "gib setup code get time-based code."

Do you really think this is necessary? Ive been in the game for over a decade and a domestic VPN is all I've ever needed to prevent my ISP from sending C&Ds.
Click to expand...
I don't, no. I stopped doing this two years ago (partly because Feral Hosting's performance was starting to decline, partly to save a bit of cash, and partly because it turned out Usenet/NZB was cheaper/faster/better anyway) and haven't had any problems. I used to be a little more paranoid about it (my ex-wife scored us a "knock it off" email from our ISP once back in the late 2010's because she was a retard, but she married me in the first place so that was well-established at that point :story:) but it's really not been a problem for years now.

The only minor issue with a domestic VPN is they're more prone to just nuke your account if they suspect/or get hassled for alleged copyright infringement and wash their hands of you (because they're subject to DMCA shenanigans), but that's still pretty rare. And they're not very likely to narc you out either; the "privacy-focused" ones only retain the minimum logs required by law (and that varies, is still up for debate, and in the absence of direct evidence to the contrary it's hard for the cartel to "punish" a VPN provider for "deliberately hiding" a customer they're after). Then again, they're a dime a dozen, and easily replaced if they give you trouble.

You don't do those things because they require abilities you lack.

You don't do that either because you think it's morally wrong to shoot people, or because you earn more money doing something safe at home.

Getting a train license on the other hand is like half a year's worth of school? And it's a vocation, so odds are the government will pay for your apartment and food while you're studying.

Handsome kiwis id be most thankful if anybody can point me in the direction of an online copy of Richard Baldwin and Charles Wyplosz's The Economics of European Integration, 7th ed., 2022 that isn't 80 bucks.
Specifically the 7th edition as it has more chapters than the 6th one, I know that's a shitty ask but :(

If anybody knows any economics savvy kiwis which may know then I'd be thankful to be redirected to them as well

I'm pretty sure requesting specific, exact things (and, more so, posting direct links to same) is one of the few verboten things ITT.
 
Can anyone recommend a place where I can find 80s-90s direct to video action, martial arts, horror, and sc-fi movies? I've been using Rarelust and RuTracker for the past couple of years and they're both fantastic, but I still have a long list of obscure stuff that I either can't find anywhere or it's a VHS rip with a Russian voiceover. Movie sections on FreeMediaHeckYeah and Champagne Piracy are very generalized.

Try to get an invite to Cinemageddon. They have enormous amounts of old/obscure/foreign flicks like that.

CinemaZ and AvistaZ are also pretty decent for those genres. I'm not sure when they open registration but I got in via open registration earlier this year.
 
Adding a +1 to nvidia shield for an android streaming box. Ive had mine for 4 or 5 years now and its remained a very capable box. I also have it hooked up to a 4k tv with surround speakers so audio pass thru is important to me.

In other broader news I bought a PS5 last weekend for the new ps5 exploit. It is insanely easy to use and very stable my only complaint is it does not support fake PKG, but there are ps5 devs that are trusted that claim its coming soon. Other formats do work, but only fpkg can use the hardware decompression chips the ps5 has so other formats are larger and can have stutter issues or give a game pop in issues.

Now what has surprised me the most with PS5 piracy is how the free file locker (DDL what have you) can saturate a gigabit connection on a 60GB file and dont even care if you have an account. On top of that theres this piracy store front I tried out called Orbit which basically let's you do your game piracy on the PS5 with a pretty nice front end. I have it setup where I download games to my computer and send them to my ps5 which happens automatically using Orbit.

Plus theres some really cool stuff in the pipeline - theres a early version of a wrapper for PC games to run on the ps5. One of my favorite things I've seen is a decomp front end for the ps5. So, makes it dead simple to run most decomped games on your ps5.

Ive had a lot of fun with this and this year Ive got back into gaming. Tbh, I haven't played hardly any game releases in the past 10 years or so until early this year. Its really awesome having a whole bunch of games to come back to. STILL, it blows my mind that theres 100GB+ releases and they are hosted on insanely fast servers.

Which model slim? CECH 20xx, 21xx, 25xx or 3xxx? If the sticker with the model number is still intact it'll be written there. 20xx and 21xx and some 25xx can load custom firmware, the other 25xx and 3xxx need HEN which you have to load each time the console boots. Same goes for the super slim, they're all HEN.

eta: For getting started with CFW or HEN on the PS3 I've always defaulted to psx-place - https://www.psx-place.com/threads/hacking-jailbreaking-the-ps3.10718/

I made a post about it.

Post in thread 'Piracy General'

Fuck it, more OP rewriting.

Game Console Piracy/Homebrew​

This will mainly cover consoles I have experience with, which isn't that many, but there are a few. I can answer questions about these devices at least.


Prerequisites​

USB DRIVE IS BASICALLY A NECESSITY. The bigger, the better, of course. The minimum is 4GB, if you have a >2GB drive, please throw it out immediately for being shit.

VIMM's Lair - The go-to for game ROMs. Slow-as-shit download speeds but reliable.


Formatting your USB Drive​

A must-know for modding, which seems more-and-more...

It's been standard since Torrentbits, not TorrentBytes, but Torrentbits ran by Redbeard. Same site OiNK was a mod on before he started his site for music.
The purpose is to free up a slot given there's a max user count. There were people all day every day trying to get in because there wasn't an invite system until OiNK

Arbitrary and meaningless. Autistic pride points, nothing more. It's forced "muh elite status" nonsense, "enforced" solely by participation, not actual "merit." Standard scene faggotry. You can (accurately) count active users without something as naive as just SELECT count(*) FROM users WHERE NOT disabled. But that would require technical competence, which none of these l337 l0rdz have time for, that and they'd have to actually define what makes someone "elite" beyond "logged in less than 90 days ago."

I don't actually care beyond how fun pointing out the retardation is. It really triggers people who believe in arbitrary headcount limits on systems hosted on virtualized environments easily able to handle hundreds of thousands of lightweight requests per second :story:
