I still use the one on Reddit (courtesy of r/ piracy), but I know there is a mirror of it hosted somewhere else. I just don’t have the link for it.

It was on the megathread, direct downloads for films and tv shows.

It got brought down because it shared a server with another service, which was used by some “Epstein friends” to upload you-know-what illegal material and that’s what brought it down.

Update: I managed to get it. I still haven’t even gone through S5, I just had Seasons 5-7 downloaded so I wanted to make sure I have it all. I wasn’t the biggest fan of S4 either tbh. So we’ll see where things go from here.

Edit: Also, I really appreciate the lack of spoilers!

Now that you mentioned it, so can I.

Either it’s back to normal, or he struck a deal with the Feds.

I second that. Even my lower-midrange laptop from 3 years ago (8GB RAM, Integrated AMD GPU) can run a few of the smaller LLMs, and it’s true that you don’t even need a GPU as they can run in RAM. And depending on how much RAM you have and what GPU, you might find models performing better in RAM instead of on the GPU. Just keep in mind that when a model says, for example, 8GB Memory required, if you have 8GB RAM, you can’t run it cuz you also have your operating system and other applications running. If you have 8GB video memory on your GPU though, you should be golden (I think).

I completely forgot about the Linux Upskill Challenge! I should have mentioned I’ve been running Linux as my desktop operating system for almost 3 years, and I’ve been tinkering with it quite a lot throughout so I’m quite familiar and very comfortable with the command line. I shoukd go through the Linux upskill challenge so I can fill in any knowledge gaps though. Thanks for reminding me!

The Megathread is a godsend from the god who took pirates as his favourite creation: The Flying Spaghetti Monster!

Now that I’ve said that, it actually makes a lot of sense, so… R’Amen. lol

Wow, I do the same thing! How great!

Wow, people are selfish bastards who will almost always put their needs before those of others. Who would have thought? I’m not defending him, I’m attacking you for expecting more of people.

And don’t pretend you wouldn’t have done the same. Put yourself in his position and tell me you wouldn’t have done the same thing, or maybe even handled the situation worse than he did.

I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand, I want Cloudflare to suffer, but on the other hand, they do offer ddos protection for a lot of useful pirate sites.

Simple: it has nothing to do with DRM (unless the DRM is actively making the experience worse, which Denuvo is known to do) and everything to do with creating a good, unique and enjoyable game that doesn’t feel like a live-service-for-no-reason, microtransaction-riddled, bug-infested, alpha-quality-software-presented-as-release, cash grab, which is what most triple A studios seem to focus on creating these days.

We decided to avoid using “free” or “libre” in the name because we don’t think it does the project justice.

This is the best project naming decision you could make in the FOSS space.

“Luanti” is a wordplay on the Finnish word luonti (“creation”) and the programming language Minetest Luanti employs for games and mods, Lua.

And this is among the worst. I mean the programming language part. Even Rust projects strive to avoid this sort of naming, so focus on your project’s purpose and identity, cuz nobody that doesn’t actively do development cares, especially users. Roblox is a platform that involves playing and creating games, also uses Lua as its language of choice but you know what’s actively missing from it’s title? The name of the Lua language!

TLDR: They avoided putting the FOSS-ness in the name but put the programming language. To-may-to, to-mah-to. They avoid one naming fallacy only to embrace another.

I downloaded 2 seasons of 1 tv show and 3 seasons of another in the last month, but I used direct download.

So, no. I wouldn’t.

remembers the repacks from 3 weeks ago

Nevermind.

I have one of these on a billboard near my house. Every time I feel sad, I just look up to it as I’m passing by and it gives me a chuckle. I think they actually updated it recently. These posters are in the UK for anyone wondering. And this one in particular is in the London Underground.

If only. I’m a student living in student accommodation. I can’t set up a NAS because hosting things on the network is against their policy, and I also wouldn’t feel comfortable having that type of hardware in my room. And if electricity bills skyrocket because of me, I’ll be forced to pay them.

What’s a safe place to buy storage online? I’ve seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.

Are cheap

Yeah, right. I know they’re cheaper than they were but they can’t be that cheap.

finds a high-speed 2tb m.2 from Kingston (a brand I trust) for £120

I stand corrected.

I’ve just realized there’s an animated series on Youtube, that I’ve had a really hard time (read: impossible) finding anywhere else, and if LEGO (yes, I’m talking about Ninjago) decides to delete these videos from their channels, the OG seasons are nowhere to ve found as far as I can tell. Yes, there are some cartoon streaming services but those are few in number and getting fewer, so I wouldn’t bet on them or any new ones that spring up having that content available in 5-10 years. And that’s worrying. Time to download all 15 seasons and store them somewhere! (oh shit, I don’t have enough space, do I)

Edit: found them on a downloads site from the piracy megathread, but only Seasons 1-11. I’ll get them all soon enough.

Edit 2: The first 11 seasons from that website come up to just over 105GB and I don’t have the space. Do I buy a 256GB USB/ Drive to store this at? I’m scared that I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder. Not too long ago, I didn’t know what I’d do with my single 32GB USB, now I have added a 128GB one, and a 64GB Ventoy usb to the mix, and I still don’t have enough. Wtf?
