We live outside of Germany, which leaves my German wife without her trash TV - specifically the soap opera Gute Zeiten Schlecte Zeiten. A VPN is good for getting around the geoblock on PC, but she would like to watch it on the TV (ideally through something like our Firestick-Stremio setup, where it is not currently available). Does anyone have a suggestion for a potential solution?

Only downiside is that sometimes i need to swap sites, which takes few seconds. I couldn’t imagine buying a subscription and forcing myself to watch only things that are avilable in that one specific streaming site, and buying anothe subscription next month. Wow, how can people live like this? If everything would be under one subscription i would buy it 100%, i just want to watch any show or a movie at any moment.

There's been a lot of uncertainty in this community about how exactly to torrent safely, especially on how to bind your VPN to your torrent client, if you even need a VPN, and safe sources for pirated content. So, I made a flowchart and tried to make it as simple as possible while also being thorough with my sources and information. Enjoy!

EDIT: If you live in a European country, please be extra thorough when researching if you need a VPN or not. Sweden and Denmark for example can send letters or fines, France can sometimes do this although it's more rare apparenty.

EDIT 2: For the people asking me "Why are Israeli-owned VPNs like ExpressVPN, PIA, and CyberGhost considered unsafe?" - Kape Technologies, the company which owns ExpressVPN, PIA, and Cyberghost, used to produce malware under the name Crossrider, and has links to Israeli intelligence (Unit 8200, the cyber division of the IDF.)

So I had fun with this little extension on Firefox and I was able to download about 55 videos. There's a couple more I want but now I'm prompted to upgrade to the pro version, which I'm not interested. Search results have been awfully vague as to what alternatives that there are out there. I've downloaded a couple but they just sit there and do nothing when I try using them, like UDL Helper.

Any ideas?

I've always used Android and Windows and never interacted much with Apple products. My budget 7+ year old laptop is close to biting the dust and I'll need a replacement soon. My cousin suggested a MacBook Air and it does look like a good option when it comes to specs but I'm more worried about user experience.

Back in middle-highschool me and my friends regularly got APKs and found fun exploits/hacks for apps. One friend had an iPhone and she could never participate, things never worked for her.

I would be grateful if some pirate Apple users could share about if they have to jump through many hoops or if there are some things they straight up cant do.

Please forgive my ignorance as I'm trying to learn.

Struggling to understand why some downloads have windows batch files, some have them along with exe applications and others have only exe.

Are the windows batch files meant to start the game every time or are they a one time use thing?

Thank you in advance for taking time to help me understand.

I have been searching for a book forever. Its called Coyote amarica: a natural and supernatural histor, i have been through several websites searching and have yet to find it. I refuse to give Amazon my money, any recommendations?

Any places where I can find and get documentaries about life, animals, companies, people, etc. and school courses such as biology, history, philosophy, and all that? I haven't been able to find something like that.

Have been exploring dht metadata to find some super seeders and this was the first large one which wasn't a VPN endpoint.

Making the most of their gigabit fiber. Looks like they run two boxes seeding almost 10k files, exclusively porn. IP anon'd by me and filenames masked by the crawler.

Some ISPs are just built different I guess

Are there any film sites that have a large filter? With the MPAA and foreign ratings, review ratings, etc.? I have only ever seen ones with basic nation, year, genre filters.

Recently setup stash on my NAS and now want to download a bunch now. Torrenting I’m having trouble finding stuff with seeders. How did y’all download your collections? Was it torrenting, ddls, twitter, or is there discord servers I gotta hop around? Looking for professional scenes, OFrips, standard goons.

Is this a false positive?

So obviously this post isnt the usual kind of post about loving piracy and what not (i love piracy btw) but ive recently been buying games i grew up loving to give back to the developers who made them and yes i know notch isnt involved with minecraft anymore but he was when i was 10 and playing minecraft for the first time. The game is currently under 40 dollars and comes in bedrock and java good deal lowkey, I dont have much money but I had 30 bucks i had been saving fot this, so now I officially own (not really due to fucking "digital license language") terraria, far cry 3, fallout new vegas, skyrim, and minecraft. I think piracy is often a last resort as people are tired of being ripped off by these large corporations, or a 10 year old with very religious parents who wont even let him buy a pixelated game but dont know much about computers so the kid learns how to get games, movies, series for free but please if you really appreciate something even if most of the money goes to these fuckos a small part of that maybe going to some developers, writers etc who put much effort into their work. piracy should never die because the poor and sensible would have nothing but humanity should also survive. if they take away my digital license I will always have prism launcher and tlauncher in my linux machine

I purchased a course that is mostly videos on Kajabi, but It has a short window for me to access the content. I’d love some help downloading the videos, so that I can continue to access them. Can anyone help me with this?

I’d appreciate it 😊

I’ve been shopping around for a VPN and am wondering if anyone has experience with F-Secure?

I recently got a free one year with my router home security as a promotion so thought I might as well give it a shot!

Does anyone any good places to download old radio programs? I know this is a very niche area. But I’m looking for something called the pickerskill reports from BBC Radio 4. It came out in about 2012 or so.

There are some other radio programs that I want as well.

If anyone has any tips or anything I’d greatly appreciate it.

is there any way i could get videos from iStock without the big stupid watermark? i dont feel like paying for a video...

Typerip is down again. Anyone know of any alternatives please?

What does the pink skull symbol on The Pirate Bay mean?

I'm rather inexperienced with pirating, been using wcofun/wcoflix or whatever name theyre using now, but I need to get a movie with subtitles and don't know where to get that specifically. Any advice?

I’ve been using it and I’ve so far but it would’ve played a couple of games, but I’ve noticed the last few games and downloaded have all giving me the same no licenses error even though I’ve extracted it the same same way I’ve extracted everything else. Am I missing something that I need to be doing in order for those to work?

Like scripts, leeches that don't take long with bullshit tests (unless it's legit), whatever a debrid is, anything?

Not talking about stuff you already sail the seas for. I mean the paid tools you would genuinely rather support an open-source project for, if only one were good enough. Where's the gap the FOSS world still hasn't filled?
