What is your EDC (Every Day Carry) for pirating? You can be as specific or as general as you want.
For me, a newb, it is my GP6a.mostly have YMusic (download music/vids) and Tachiyomi(download manga/comics).
What is your EDC for pirating and teach us your ways!
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk…
Corroded ( @CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 24•11 months agoSpotiFlyer. It matches songs in a Spotify playlist to songs on YouTube and downloads them. Great if you like Spotify’s curated and niche playlists but don’t like their app or restrictions on playback.
Antenna Pod is great for podcasts but that’s not really piracy.
Rabbit ( @Rabbit@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 4•11 months agoHow is the quality of the music downloads from spotiflyer? Is it as good as 320 kbps mp3? Does sound more convenient than other options.
Corroded ( @CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•11 months agoYeah I’d say so. 320kbs I think is the default quality level
Anamana ( @Anamana@feddit.de ) English12•11 months agoIf it downloads songs from YouTube they are not 320kbs
Corroded ( @CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•11 months agoJust telling you what the settings page says. It probably just defaults to the maximum quality level. 320kbs may be relevant to other platforms you can download from using Spotiflyer like SoundCloud.
That said I can’t tell the different between 256 and 320 kbs.
Anamana ( @Anamana@feddit.de ) English3•11 months agoI think YouTube only has 192kbps, YouTubeMusic has 256kbps. Might be possible it uses YT Music or Deezer for downloading. Are the intros of the videos and stuff included? If not it’s likely a different source.
vd1n ( @vd1n@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months agoI think newpipe also has 360 as an option and it uses yt and ytm
Anamana ( @Anamana@feddit.de ) English2•11 months agoNope it has 160kbps max
Corroded ( @CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•11 months agoThere’s no intros. It’s the same tracks as Spotify as far as I can tell. That said it isn’t always able to find more obscure artists. It can be hit and miss
- Valmond ( @Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com ) English1•11 months ago
256 Vs 320 is a bit hard, but some music gets less good in 256 (say Karajan with violines, Vivaldi summer for example. Probably one of the hardest music’s to compress IMO) so its 320 for me. No worries any more or that’s what I feel.
Rabbit ( @Rabbit@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•11 months agoI checked the bitrate and the songs wer like 128 kbps or something like that.
I thought M4A was better, long term?
vd1n ( @vd1n@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months agoJust burn it to a cd and it brings it back to original lossless quality. Trust me. Let me know if you need more high quality info.

frippa ( @frippa@lemmy.ml ) English6•11 months agoI’ve been back in pirating for almost 2 years now yet my setup is really basic, just qbittorrent, 1337x and a VPN (not really necessary, but may become in the near future because… National politics) Ive just bought a server and think of upping my game with the -arr “suite” and jellyfin (which I’ve set up, but I didn’t host anything) I’m just too lazy and it’s too easy to just open 1337x and search for a torrent.
Mountainmohawk ( @Mountainmohawk@beehaw.org ) 6•11 months agoAny recommendations for a place to obtain ebooks?
Bebo ( @Bebo@reddthat.com ) 10•11 months agoLibgen, zlibrary, annas-archive
Landor Dragen ( @landordragen@lemmy.ml ) English6•11 months ago vd1n ( @vd1n@lemmy.ml ) English3•11 months agoReddit had an ebook subreddit. I think Calibre libraries or community colibre libraries that had a stick post with some good sources. Never had to use any other site.

Gutless2615 ( @Gutless2615@ttrpg.network ) 2•11 months agoMAM is what’s always recommended.
00 ( @00@kbin.social ) 1•11 months agoSorry, whats MAM?
Gutless2615 ( @Gutless2615@ttrpg.network ) 1•11 months agomyAnonymouse. Invite only though or you have to wait for one of their interview periods.
athos77 ( @athos77@kbin.social ) 2•11 months agoLibGen, Anna’s, MAM, IRC (undernet/irchighway).
00 ( @00@kbin.social ) 1•11 months agoA lot of good suggestions already, i would add mobilism.
Landor Dragen ( @landordragen@lemmy.ml ) English5•11 months agoiPhone 13 Pro Max with sideloaded YouTube and Spotify. Also have Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid. When in need of offline content, I download from Real Debrid to my VLC folder on Files app and view on VLC.
redditReallySucks ( @redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•11 months agoHow do you sideload? Do you re-sign it every 7 days with your Apple ID?
Landor Dragen ( @landordragen@lemmy.ml ) English4•11 months agoYes. I use AltStore at the moment so every Sunday I manually refresh the sideloaded apps.
Sometimes it refreshes automatically when I’m on my Mac, but I prefer to do it manually anyway.
Tried Scarlet which allows more sideloaded apps but being captive to their certificate status isn’t for me. And I really only need YouTube and Spotify.
dewritochan ( @dewritochan@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 4•11 months agoyt-dlp, tixati, soulseek-qt, jdownloader, and a short list of various ddl/torrent sites in my head. gog-games, nyaa, 1337x, rin, rutor, rutracker, and honestly if what i’m looking for isn’t on any of that, i just assume i don’t need it.
