Well there’s your problem. Those direct download sites will also impose things like daily download limits. Maybe you get 10Mbps for the first 10GB every 24 hr, and after 10GB you’re dropped to 100kbps. Something like that. Couple it with a VPN and you’re sharing that 10GB limit with total randos

Installing pirated games from sketchy sites is still dangerous

When I dig through ODs a ton of them are usually India based and have a whole bollywood subdir. Try palined

Youtubes fresh battle with adblockers has had me on a 6 month music video rip spree, with no signs of slowing down.

Right now Jdownloader2 plus a browser extension to copy cookie info to the clipboard is working half decently.

Once I started, I realized I can do a lot more with the videos now that they’re off youtube. No more ASR subtitles, I can time lyrics myself using Gaupol. I’ve also figured out how to pack the new subtitle, as well as original thumbnails and YT descriptions into the video using mkvtoolnix. Now a single video file can be dropped into jellyfin and fully provide its own local Metadata.

It’s going well and I’m not slowing down at all. Fuck you, youtube.

Mods moderating based on their personal feelings is bad form.

Jdownloader2 is some horrid looking Java program that actually kicks ass.

I can’t wait to assault one of these things

I might be late to this party but I recently noticed a VLsub option in VLC itself that makes manually adding subs way easier. It’s not automatic like the other tools mentioned but it’s still a huge time saver. Protip I noticed if you’re struggling to find a movie with it, just drop the imdb tt code into the name search box.

This isn’t the military sourcing. This is a foreign military sourcing.

They can go find their own dead bodies. Why do they need ours?

I’ve seen how IDF act on camera for tiktok. Theres a 100% chance these bodies were desecrated.

I used to find it had something to do with the explorer thumbnailer finishing up but sort of not letting go. It would happen if I had pictures or videos on the USB drive, and if I got the error I could go to another folder like my documents, drag a picture into another folder, go look at the pretty new thumbnail, then I could remove the USB drive because the thumbnailer was ‘parked’ back on the C drive. Sounds like I’m making it up but I swear it worked.

EA did 9/11

This has been a constant stream of terrible reporting on this story. It’s shocking. I guarantee the geriatric fuck that wrote this article didn’t bother to ask a single nerd what they think. He actually called it stealthy. ITS A FUCKING CELL SIGNAL. they triangulate that shit for fun. They actually keep saying this could DDOS cell towers - do they think NYC has low pop density? that city creates more organic traffic from a baseball game than these devices could pump out, and they’re so close to eachother they’d interfere with themselves WAY before they started to affect everyone else’s access to that cell tower.

The reporting on this has been absolute shit. There’s an endless stream of these types of cell services out there, they’re definitely shady, this one got caught up facilitating prank calls to members of congress and they rightfully got raided. But the rest reeks of the capt crunch whistling into a phone to set off a nuke bullshit

I had this movie at the top of my list stuck at 71% for at least two years. Hundreds of other torrents came and went. Its easier to find it these days.

Totally worth it
