Looking for a few workshop manuals, is there anywhere that generally has a good selection?

First xmanager went away and I was devastated

Now revanced Spotify doesn't seem to work and I feel defeated.

I feel the cat and mouse game with spotify has caught up and I should just ditch Spotify altogether. Do you guys have any solutions?

Excluding Nyaa or private trackers, as many ongoing and more obscure titles aren't available to torrent. I've been using Comick and Weeb Central, but I don't really know how up to date they are on new scanlations as I think they're mostly aggregating from other sources?

Sharing information on social media is common for many people nowadays, but it's not always without consequence. In some cases, simple 'likes' can be used as evidence in court, as a Florida man recently discovered. His Star Wars and Minion 'likes' were presented as evidence to support allegations he may be a prolific BitTorrent pirate.

You should assume that dbzer0 will eventually get a legal request to turn over records.

Which site or poster to get microsoft office from. there was an old guide here 2 years old to install it but it doesn't work anymore

This is my first time watching any Star Wars content. From what I understand and remember I should be watching it in chronological order and I should only watch I-VI since from what I heard that those are the only ones that are actually worth a watch.

Main question


For the original trilogy I've decided to watch the 4K77, 4k80, and 4k83 v1.0 no DNR but I want to know what is the the definitive way to watch the prequels so I wanted to ask which Blu-ray release or fan edit or any release should I look for?

Sorry if I'm asking the wrong community, but I saw a post before in a Star Wars community and it doesn't look like there was much discussion on it.

This is an article on sci-hub, but I'd be happy to put it somewhere else more fediverse-ish if you all have any ideas where to do that.

Kopimism is a modern parody-religion Piracy Movement that treats information as sacred and believes copying and sharing it is a duty.

It began in Sweden and blends digital rights activism with a unique moral system built around creativity, collaboration, and freedom.

Kopimists don’t worship a "god" but follow principles like respecting privacy and remixing knowledge to improve the world.

I usually use use ThePirateBay for video media (Movies / TV shows).

EBook: Library Genisys

Audiobooks: Audiobook Bay

Android APK: Sometimes I just google the .apks (and .obb files), but if find it on the ones listed in the megathread, I use those first.

Not sure if I'm doing piracy correctly

Edit: And also, what file formats is best?

Like, video media is 99% of the time a .mkv, so I'm assuming thats the most popular. But is x264 or x265 better. Like, I don't want to waste storage or wait too long before I can watch something, so what is the best storage to quality size?

And eBooks, .pdf .mobi .epub .azw3 wtf I'm confused

Audiobooks, there are m4b, and mp3

There is one series of books that I can only find .azw3 on Libgen, and nothing on F-Droid even opens that file format.

Yea I think I don't know what I'm doing.

Hi everyone ! Since Arcadia's announcement, things evolved !

Here is a condensed list of the progress:

  • Arcadia now integrates a tracker (its own, not an existing one, still WIP though)
  • Docker support for the frontend, backend/tracker and database
  • Uploading, downloading and seeding a torrent are now working !
  • Visual layout configuration to make the UI information-dense to your liking
  • New pages: torrent search and user profile
  • Sort torrents within a title group, master group support, better display of torrents' features
  • Staff moderation features (WIP)
  • Forums (WIP)
  • Refactor of a big part of the codebase with good practices (mostly thanks to bees and diceypotato) (better typescript support, statically checked sql requests, and more!)
  • Fully typed API swagger
  • Github CI to test multiple aspects of the codebase
  • Detailed contribution guides

Note: Arcadia is not ready for production yet

We also welcomed diceypotato as a new member of the Github organization !

Want to know more ? Chat with the devs and community ? Contribute ? Head over to the discord server !

Yes more devs are still welcome and wanted, the more we are, the funnier it is :) So come and let's build this great platform together !

If you like this project, leave a star on the repo !

I got a flyer in the snail mail the other day that said "surf fiber internet will soon be available to you". My Mom has fiber internet in another state, and I know it's fast for her (albeit she has verizon fios). I live in the USA Midwest Chicago area- and I have had comcast xfinity for 20+ years here. They are a ripoff. I am charged 88.95 a month USD. I have no TV or any other services other than basic internet (I think it's the second lowest speed- they may call it "performance internet")

What I did notice (and this may be a coincidence) was that they must be doing some construction on my street because they made survey marks on my property and painted where the gas line and water lines are. Could this be because they are putting in the fiber cables?

Thinking of switching but want to get opinions of others. Besides cost reasons, comcast can suck off because they are basically part of other hollywood support corporations that are part of ACE. (this is the other reason I want to do it)

GenP and monkrus don't work on windows on ARM. It comes with an emulator but something about it just doesnt seem to work. Is there any other known working way to pirate modern adobe products on an ARM pc? If not, what alternatives are there?

Just wanted to know what you guys consider to be better when torrenting. Is it I2P network or a VPN like Mullvad, Proton or IVPN?

I posted an updated guide on r/Adobe Zii a bit ago. It got taken down last week and I re-posted it here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43935446 Super grateful that this community exists. I posted to r/Adobe Zii that my guide was taken down and warning that it looks like reddit is cracking down on piracy (I am guessing an Adobe spokesperson is abusing reddit's copyright reporting system). Now today reddit emails me saying that I received another copyright warning for posting that my other post was removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeZii/comments/1kioy3i/reddit_took_down_my_adobe_zii_guide/

I decide hey lets try and appeal as there was not any copyrighted material in my post about my guide being removed. Turns out they want my full name, address, and other identifying info to send to the copyright complainant. Not doing that.

Just disappointed as I've actively used reddit for years and love all the communities on this place. Seems like its slowly going down hill. Guess I should have seen that coming with the whole API shenanigans last year.

TL;DR reddit sucks and it does not appear any way to appeal without giving Adobe my info

Here's my problem: I wrote a satirical political novel (myself, not with AI) and then I generated an audiobook using AI, read by a famous (infamous?) politician, because it cheekily works well.

I would love to distribute/sell this audiobook, but I can't: Many platforms (like Spotify) won't allow AI-generated voices without an LPF file created by ElevenLabs or Google Play Books. And there's no way for me to legitimately get that LPF file, because ElevenLabs & GPB have their own restrictions. They won't let me generate my audiobook in the voice of this politician, even if it's explicitly satirical.

So... I'm looking for a way to fake an LPF file that can fool Spotify. Does this exist? Anyone know how?

Thank you Lemmy!
