There is this technology to replace the physical boards on the pitch by customized ones by processing the video, so I wondered if there is some filter available to block those boards altogether and replace them for a black board?

I'm sure I'm not the only one annoyed by those two-layered boards that are becoming the norm, and those ads are getting more invasive everyday.

I would be willing to go through the trouble of watching the videos with a few extra seconds of lag if that means getting rid of those ads.

I have a feeling it must exist. Some kind of search-engine that's got all the major trackers right there for you.

Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit... anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I'm sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don't even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren't gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I'm not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I'm specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

I'm spinning up a new seedbox and wanted to know what is everyone using nowadays? I was using deluge via the thick client and rutorrent previously. Are they still king? edit: I should have also mentioned that I plan on running this server headless so I will need to be able to access it via a thin client or a web browser

I wanted to update on the situation. I posted a few days ago about a detection for malware on a software download of Affinity Photo 2. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35380042

After some searching, I found a repack on LRepacks. And I wanted to share something. The repack I found on LRepacks only had about 3 detections on VirusTotal, which is pretty much expected honestly.

I wanted to compare this to the downloaded file I tried from a site listed as Download93 on the megathread, I didn't mention this on the previous post because I didn't feel it was necessary.

I suspect something might be wrong with that site.

  • This file got about 30 something detections flagging it as malware. I ended up not running it (thankfully). And while I have no means to try it (as VMs are not working on my pc for some reason), I highly suspect of it being malware.

  • Didn't notice this when I was downloading, but the Download93 link now redirects to "4download[dot]net". Which just throws me off now that I see it.

Has someone else noticed this going on in this website? Again, I have no means right now of proving it's malware. But I wanted to see if somebody else can confirm is something is wrong with that site. So that it can be taken down from the megathread if necessary.

Meta is accused of seeding the pirated material that the company obtained from LibGen to train its AI models.

I was wondering if there are any good collection's of books available for torrent. Like maybe classics, or top 1,000 sci-fi, etc. Does that exist?

35
 
 

Sorry if its not the right place to post, i just dont know where else to ask. I am searching for a book Discover what you are best at. I had already looked through libgen, flibusta, z-lib. I had also went through megathread, but to my knowledge these sites are the best bets to find any book. Is there anywhere else i can look for?

Of course, I'm not in favor of this "AI slop" that we're having in this century (although I admit that it has some good legitimate uses but greed always speaks louder) but I wonder if it will suffer some kind of piracy, if it is already suffering or people simple are not interested in "pirated AI"

Anyone got a magnet link ?

There is usually one up by now but I'm coming up short now

Italy's 'Piracy Shield', despite blocking thousands of illegal streaming sites, has failed boost viewership for legal services like DAZN.

I found out JSON could work as a small local database, thinking of storing records of at least 1135 cars, televisions and handbags, while allowing downloads through magnet links.

I would like to see if there are projects that have already done this or if a standard database with SQL and PHP is better.

i want to remove specific trackers from all my torrents (they're discontinued), it's not doable with a per-torrent method as i would never finish.

I'm using qbittorrent v5.0.3 WebUI, i cannot just select the trackers i wish to remove under the "trackers" pane in the left side as it only allows me to remove all torrents with this tracker (i do not wish to remove the torrents), and not remove the tracker.

how can i remove these trackers from all my torrents easily, while keeping the torrents for seeding?

No, it's not like stealing a physical item from a store.

"stealing" a digital copy of a movie, tv show or a game is like if the item you're stealing from a store is infinitely copyable. Like the replicator from star trek...or that one episode of Sabrina the teenage witch with that box that can make a perfect copy of everything you put inside of it.

Of course I personally would never pirate anything, no matter how much streaming services increase their prices or how much they crack down on VPN usage to get around geo-restrictions, PIRACY IS BAD AND ONLY BAD PEOPLE DO IT.

I've never pirated anything in my whole life!

There are people who understand what I'm saying...but apparently most people don't get it.

Of course that means I still would never pirate anything. That would be horrible to "steal" a copy of a movie or a TV show

Nulled is just another name for crack and how I've seen people refer to wordpress addons. (They are under the gnu license, so i'm not sure if it even counts as piracy)

I'm on 3 different private trackers and they're great for shows and movies. Not so much for music.

To be clear, I'm unambiguously NOT interested in inviting anyone to the private trackers which I have invites for because that is explicitly against the rules and I always follow all rules to the letter. Feel free to private message me. Or message me on Signal

Hi guys. Basically as the title says I just saw the crazy expensive wokout apps subscription prices on PlayStore and decided to find free workout video programs solutions but couldn't find anything with good quality so I asked you guys here. Where to find beginner strength and cardio programs for free?

Trying to convert youtube videos to mp3 files on my phone, the website I had been doing it on is down and all the alternatives are scam sites and virus links. Any alts you know?

Edit: i have an iPhone, I would prefer a browser based converter if possible.

I've always bought my games on steam or OFFICIAL key resellers (GMG) since I was an adult, but sometimes it has got really expensive.

Do you consider 'cracked games' safe for your PC, your data, and finally your privacy?

You should always support developers, but it's not always possible.
