Watched the first episode of The Acolyte on Disney+, and there so many ads that I swear the ad-to-star-wars radio was 1 to 1.

...so I set sail. I'm so sick this. But now I've got three video files on the comp (Windows 10), but I'm struggling to get them into the TV... We have a Roku, but apparently my comp doesn't support 'Miracast', and that seems to be a huge road block going by guides online.

Hoping to not spend an arm and a leg, but probably need some cable or something other than Roku. I'm probably the least techy person on Lemmy, so please idiot-proof any instructions.

Thanks all!

I see Mozilla pushing their VPN quite a bit by I don't think I've ever heard someone say they actually use it. Is it any good? How does it stack up next to the popular ones?

How does this firm (or whatever it is) know I torrented something? My VPN app took a shit in the middle of a download and I think it exposed my IP to some "anti-piracy" bullshit firm that contacted my ISP. ISP emailed to let me know and to "not do it again". How does this firm know about torrenting? Do they like watch these sites and hope someone's VPN slips like mine did today?

Does anyone know any additional sites for downloading ebooks in German besides anna's and libgen? I am mostly interested in sci-fi/fantasy novels.

I've recently had a family member pass and am left with dozens and dozens of boxs, furniture, ect to sell. I was looking at some of the cross selling ones online but they're all subscription based and expensive for what might not even sell. Any help?

I havent had much luck looking for a haynes manual for my motorcycle, I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to look for them

Hey all, I'm slowly migrating from reddit to lemmy, and r/Piracy was one of my most active subreddits.

I've been pirating for almost my entire life, so just wanted to say hi, and cheers to freedom of speech and the fediverse! Keep seeding!

Anyone know how to set up jellyfin to get champions league etc?

What's a good place to get audiobooks? I didn't see a link on the usual spots.

Hey everyone, I live in a dorm like apartment where my Internet plan is part of my contract. I have a monthly data limit which just isn't enough for me. Buying additional data is stupid expensive. I found out though that your used data is only calculated once you disconnect from the internet completely. So my idea is to get a small device that is constantly connected. I could use an Amazon echo / Google home, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of having one. Could I just hook up something like a raspberry pie to the Internet and how would I go about ensuring that it has a constant connection? Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post.

Looking for an invite to either World Boxing Video Archive or TC Boxing but they seemingly have had closed registrations for years now.

(MAJOR UPDATE: ONLY 10 HRS REMAIN BEFORE SHUT DOWN AT TIME OF WRITING THIS UPDATE)

Hello everyone. For everyone who owns a 3DS, 2DS, or even a Wii U, I'm sharing this out to as many places I can think of, where the awareness can make an impact. Please read if you own a 3DS or Wii U at all, or know anybody who does:

The SpotPass servers by Nintendo will be shutting down on April 8th, 2024 (4PM PDT). The SpotPass Archival Project has been created by the 3DS and Wii U Homebrew modding community, to make sure as much SpotPass data as humanly possible is preserved for the foreseeable future and not lost forever in the coming few days. A huge amount of SpotPass content is essentially free DLC for various games and apps, and they could have been installed without your knowledge. They are not required for most games to play, but without their archival, many games will lose DLC content permanently and some features may no longer work. This archival project can only be made possible by the donations of any individuals owning a 3DS or Wii U (not a donation of money, but rather a donation of SpotPass data stored on your system)

This data can only be collected before April 8th. Any and all dumps made or sent after the end-date will be useless due to the nature of how the archive process works. The dump does not require you to have a modded or Homebrewed console, and can be done completely unmodded. All you need extra as an unmodded user, is a PC or laptop. There is also zero risk of having your console banned; so rest assured. The guides can be found here: https://spotpassarchive.github.io/#guides.

Update: For those who can't recall the difference, what we're archiving here is SpotPass, not StreetPass. The difference between the two are: StreetPass: Is a 3DS exclusive offline wireless tech which connects your 3DS to other systems and shares various bits of data with random people you pass on the street (in the real world). For example, in the game StreetPass Mii Plaza, the data sent to random passers are your Mii, along with your most recently played game, and your Mii can be played with in the various minigames that StreetPass Mii Plaza offers, and vice versa. SpotPass: Is an online wireless tech available on both the 3DS and Wii U. Unlike StreetPass, it does not connect to other 3DS systems directly, but rather connects to Nintendo's SpotPass servers online. The data sent could be anything from notifications, to in-game content. This is what we're archiving; not StreetPass data. Streetpass is not an online service, and thus does not lose content after April 8th; but SpotPass data will be lost after the 8th if it's not archived. Wikipedia article.

Even if you make the dump before April 8, and send it to them afterwards, the dump will be useless regardless, this is why we are frantically trying to spread the word about the project as quickly as possible, as there is a lot of data that is still going to go away permanently regardless of the efforts of this project. The data is stored offline locally on your 3DS and Wii U, so you may be confused as to why you can't just make the dump after the date. For a better explanation, here is a Discord message from the official Discord server which explains things. I am not a developer of the project, I'm just someone who is passionate about gaming and technology preservation, and wants to get this out there, and the 3DS was a wonderful part of my late childhood.

The data is going to be used by the developers to put towards developing a replacement for the SpotPass network, similar to what was done by the Homebrew community who created the Nintendo Network replacement, dubbed "Pretendo Network".

Even if you don't think you have much data on your system, please help dump it towards the archive as soon as possible (within the next couple of days), because you likely have some things you don't know about. The process does not require a modded console at all, and the official site here, has instructions for both users of modded consoles, and users of unmodded consoles. You can ask for help in the official Discord server of the project here and people will be very willing to help.

There are also many many niche, lesser known games, which have absolutely no data archived for them still to this day, so any help archiving them is vital. Thanks for reading, and I ask you to also share this out to as many people as you possibly can. Even if you don't own a 3DS or Wii U, please share this out to anyone you know who owns one, or even those whom you suspect might have one.

Edit: added some extra information, removed some no longer relevant information, fixed some typos, improved some wording slightly.

Every 'how to' site seems a little sketchy. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction through dm's.

I'm looking for a certain app, that looks like it has been unpublished from GP. Googling points to a bunch of sites that I know nothing about and that could be full of stuff.

Any recommendations on good sites to do this?

For anyone curious, I'm trying to download Lightbot and others apps from the same developer aiming at teaching programming to kids.

Someone I know needs to see Kaibutsu (2023) by Hirokazu Kore-eda for a class. As far as I understand the bluray release is still too far away. Anyone knows where I could find a recording of a theatrical airing or something similar?

Just started using the above setup and gotta say this is the bees bollox - I'm so impressed by just how fluid it all works - free from an insane price too - it just works flawlessly!

I've got to add in here - Unchained (F-droid) which connects to an RD account and allows to search stuff and either 'aside' for later or download immediately - the app (imho) is wicked and definately worth checking out and supporting.

The great stuff aside, I have one general question: feel free to add more...

Saving stuff: I know that torrentio will save links into my RD account for me to pick up later, but can I get it to auto download into a folder of my choice - to any folder on my network? I can get it to save onto my phone (via Unchained) but then I've got to transfer it into my library.

I'm looking for a easy/lazy way I guess.

Any thoughts?

Alright chumps, here's the skinny. You download a comic book reader - the Cdisplayex one linked above is free, but use whatever you'd like - something that reads .cbr files is most useful. Then you head on over to Anna's Comic Cantina here and set your search like so:

• Marvel

• DC

• Darkhorse

...and you've got access to 2mil free comics, give or take a thousand or so.

Here's what Cdisplayex has to say about itself:

Free, Light, Efficient CBR Reader. It is the most popular comic book reader. It is able to read all comic book formats (.cbr file, .cbz, .pdf, etc..) and Manga. Everything is designed to give you the best reading experience, it load comic books immediately, reading is fluid and comfortable.

I tried a torrent of photoshop 25 beta but it wouldn’t installed. I also did some looking up and heard that it currently doesn’t work on torrented copies on macOS, only on Windows and with GenP.

Sorry, I know this is lazy as surely there are some answers out there, but I thought I had a well cracked PS 2023 and LR 2023; they've been running well 6mos or so. As of today though they seem to have phoned home and I have 10d usage limits counting down now. Is there any easy fix or do I need to go back to the beginning, uninstall, and find the latest reliable cracked versions?

I have to admit I know just about nothing about vpns and proxy's etc. I have mullvad vpn because I wanted to do the nyt crossword puzzle at work. I tried to also use mullvad at home on my Nvidia shield tv tube to use the MLB app but it often doesn't work. I read somewhere online that I should use SOCK, but after googling I just don't understand. I just want to reliably watch the mariners disappoint me using the MLB app on my Android tv with the free subscription I get from T-Mobile. Please help me piracy, you're my only hope.
