I'm stuck with an old version when it was posted on Github before the takedown and I'm out of the loop, thanks guys!

What's the best way to play pirated windows games on Linux?

Ever since I've migrated I stuck to emulation for game piracy cause it was pretty simple. Ive been trying to run some repacked games but I can't get them to install properly.

I don't see many people talk about this probably because most game pirates use windows if I had to guess.

I'm trying to find a simple way to keep track of movie releases that I'm interested in. Is there an app or website where I can just type in the movie name and get notified when it's available?

I've seen some posts mentioning setting up RSS feeds, but that seems a bit complicated for what I need. Ideally, I want something where I can just hit "get notified" and then receive an email or notification when the movie is released.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

(Not just when they are released in cinema but as 1080 or 4k)

It seems to be down for much time. It feels torrent scene is dying :(

Anyone know of any good sites for (good) STLs of the popular tabletop/wargaming miniatures?

And, more importantly, anyone have any good experiences with them? My gut would be that the vast majority are pointless in FDM and require the granularity of resin. But I have also seen some wild prints that take advantage of ridiculously thin layer sizes to have insane detail. And, if it isn't a complete fool's errand, this would be a fun set of projects to fine tune both my printing ability and my painting skills.

Have not seen this posted here and I believe it is new. Tried it out yesterday and could be very useful and protect people from fake websites etc so I thought I would share.

Purpose of this guide

While there are many Linux based guides for implementing the *Arr stack, some of us are stuck with Windows either by choice or by circumstance.

This guide is intended to help you implement a performant and reliable *arr stack on a Windows 11 PC using:

• WSL2 with Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
• Docker Desktop for Windows (to run the linux based *Arr stack):
  • gluetun
  • qbittorrent
  • lidarr
  • bazarr
  • radarr
  • sonarr
  • flaresolverr
  • prowlarr
  • sabnzbd
  • jellyseerr
• Plex Server and/or Jellyfin Server to serve Media (you'll want the Windows versions of these)
• Tailscale (for simple and secure remote access to all Windows and Docker apps) (Windows version)

I'm not gonna pretend this is a super beginner friendly guide - some level of computer literacy is assumed and you will need to read specific guides for setting up the various apps to your liking. E.g., https://trash-guides.info/. This guide is more of an overview of setting up your system in a way that takes advantage of WSL2 while hopefully avoiding potential pitfalls.

Prerequisites and initial setup

1. Install Windows 11, preferably on an NVME or SSD. You will also be using this drive as a download cache*, and to run your Docker containers. (*Or you can optionally use a dedicated SSD as the download cache, so it's cheap and easy to replace if/when it wears out).

2. Install/enable WSL2 on Windows. There are many guides online on how to do this. E.g. this one.

3. Install Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (or go wild and pick another version, ymmv) from the Microsoft Store. Once installed, open a Ubuntu terminal and you'll be prompted to setup an account. This account is separate from your Windows account. Remember the username and password. You should also be sure to check for any Ubuntu updates after installing. I recommend downloading the Windows Terminal app from the app store so you can access CMD/Powershell/Ubuntu terminal tabs in the one app.

4. Enable systemd support in WSL2.

5. Install Docker Desktop for Windows with the following options:

• Settings > General:

  • Start Docker Desktop when you sign in to your computer;
  • Use the WSL 2 based engine;
  • Use containerd for pulling and storing images

• Resources > Network:

  • Enable host networking;
  • Also note you can see your Docker subnet details here.

• Resources > WSL Integration:

  • Enable integration with default WSL distro;
  • Enable integration with additional distros (select Ubuntu-24.04)

6. If you don't like the WSL2 defaults (see below), you can configure memory limits and swap size by creating a file called .wslconfig in your windows %userprofile% folder. I set these settings as follows, but it will depend on your available hardware.

# Note: Microsoft sets a default maximum RAM available to 50% of the physical memory and a swap-space that is 1/4 of the maximum WSL RAM.  You can scale those numbers up or down to allocate more or less RAM to the Linux instance.

# Settings apply across all Linux distros running on WSL 2
[wsl2]

# Limits VM memory to use no more than 8 GB, this can be set as whole numbers using GB or MB
memory=8GB

# Sets amount of swap storage space to 4GB
swap=4GB

7. VERY IMPORTANT DOCKER SETTING - Edit %APPDATA%\Docker\settings.json and change vpnKitMaxPortIdleTime=300 to vpnKitMaxPortIdleTime=0 to prevent network connections to your docker apps being forcibly closed after 5 minutes, which can cause a lot of laggy behaviour and connection errors (ask me how I know!). See https://emerle.dev/2022/05/06/the-nasty-gotcha-in-docker/ for a more detailed explanation.

8. Make sure you reboot before proceeding to ensure docker & wsl2 config changes are applied.

Folder structure (Windows file system)

The data folder/drive has sub-folders for torrents and usenet and each of these have sub-folders for tv, movie, books, software and music downloads to keep things neat.

Typically your data folder/drive will be a large capacity HDD, a NAS share, or some other for of cheap bulk storage. While this is usually fine for streaming video and other media content, if you have a fast gigabit internet connection, the drive write speeds will potentially be a significant bottleneck when downloading. Ideally, you want a decent NVME or SSD for the OS and also to act as a cache for incomplete downloads. Or you can optionally assign a dedicated ssd/nvme for the download cache since it will potentially have a LOT of reads and writes.

For this setup, you'll want to keep all your completed Media on a windows NTFS drive/folder. We'll be running Windows binaries for Jellyfin/Plex and they work best with NTFS. By running windows binaries for the Media servers, you'll have no problems enabling hardware transcoding. Example setup below:

data (D:) [NTFS formatted Windows partition]
├── torrents
│   ├── books
│   ├── movies
│   ├── music
│   ├── software
│   └── tv
├── usenet
│   └── complete
│       ├── books
│       ├── movies
│       ├── music
│       ├── software
│       └── tv
└── media
    ├── books
    ├── movies
    ├── music
    ├── software
    └── tv

Folder structure (WSL2 file system)

You'll want to keep all the application data from the Docker stack in the WSL2 filesystem, to eliminate the chance of data corruption and to improve disk r/w performance.

1. Open an Ubuntu terminal which will land you in your home (~) folder. Note that Ubuntu uses an ext4 based filesystem in the WSL2 VM. It's important to use this filesystem for your docker stack for best compatibility.
2. Create a folder to store your docker stack data with mkdir arrstack or a name of your choice, and then setup a folder structure similar to the one below. Note that you may wish to locate the usenetcache and torrentcache folders on a discrete SSD/NVME if you have one available, to extend the lifepan of your boot drive.

~/arrstack [ext4 formatted Ubuntu partition]
├── config [used to store config folders for each of the docker apps]
│   ├── bazarr
│   ├── jellyseerr
│   ├── lidarr
│   ├── prowlarr
│   ├── qbittorrent
│   ├── radarr
│   ├── sabnzbd
│   └── sonarr
├── usenetcache
└── torrentcache

Docker compose

In an Ubuntu terminal:

1. cd ~/arrstack
2. Create a new docker-compose.yaml file in your ~/arrstack folder using the command notepad.exe docker-compose.yaml. Here's my docker compose contents for reference. I'm not going to go through how to setup each app as there are many other guides for that:

3. Once you have saved the docker-compose.yaml file, run docker compose pull to download all the relevant docker images, then docker compose up -d to spin them up. Once you've done this the first time, you can open Docker Desktop in Windows to manage your containers & images, access logs etc, using the GUI interface.

Completing your setup

1. Install the Windows versions of Jellyfin and/or Plex, using the data (D:) [NTFS formatted Windows partition] for all your media libraries. They don't need any access to your WSL ext4 partitions. If you wish to use Plex remote access you will need to port forward port 32400 from your router to your PC. However you don't need to open any other ports since we will be using Tailscale for simplicity.

2. Setup a free Tailscale account if you haven't already got one. Install Tailscale on your media server PC and also on any other devices you wish to use to access your media server remotely. Once tailscale is installed, you will be able to use your machine name (in my case media-pc) to connect to your apps remotely using the following links, without needing to do any port forwarding:

Tailscale remote links:

Plex        http://media-pc:32400/web/index.html#!/ or you can use https://app.plex.tv/ if you have forwarded port 32400
Jellyfin    http://media-pc:8096/web/#/home.html
Jellyseerr  http://media-pc:5055/
Sonarr      http://media-pc:8989/
Radarr      http://media-pc:7878/
Lidarr      http://media-pc:8686/
Bazarr      http://media-pc:6767/
SABnzbd     http://media-pc:8080/
qBittorrent http://media-pc:8090/
Prowlarr    http://media-pc:9696/

localhost links:

Plex        localhost:32400/web/index.html#!/
Jellyfin    localhost:8096/web/#/home.html
Jellyseerr  localhost:5055/
Sonarr      localhost:8989/
Radarr      localhost:7878/
Lidarr      localhost:8686/
Bazarr      localhost:6767/
SABnzbd     localhost:8080/
qBittorrent localhost:8090/
Prowlarr    localhost:9696/

Note that if you are accessing your media using tailscale, your browser may complain about the lack of a secure connection, however behind the scenes your tailscale connection is in fact fully secured with TLS and a wireguard VPN connection. On Firefox, you can click the padlock icon and set automatically upgrade this site to a secure connection to off for each link so you don't get a security warning each time you connect.

3. If you wish to share your media library with other people, you can either add them to your tailscale network (beyond the scope of this guide) or simply give them the https://app.plex.tv/ link and relevant login details if you have forwarded port 32400.

Auto-starting Docker containers on windows boot

I like to have this automated so that on reboot all the docker containers/images spin up. Unfortunately there is no option to do this automatically in Docker Desktop. There are a couple of ways to do this, but this is the way I have got working reliably:

1. Create folder C:\Users\windows-username\startup-scripts, substituting windows-username with your Windows username.
2. Create a powershell script docker_compose_up.ps1 in this folder with contents as per below, substituting ubuntu-username below with your Ubuntu username. This script will load the WSL2 VM, then spin up your docker container using your previously created docker-compose.yaml configuration file:

wsl ~ -u ubuntu-username -d Ubuntu-24.04 -e sh -c "docker compose -f ~/arrstack/docker-compose.yaml up -d"

3. Create a .vbs script called launcher.vbs in this folder with content as per below. The only purpose of this file is to allow you to silently launch your powershell script created in step 2 using a scheduled task, without having to install any 3rd party apps. It's a bit hacky but it works great.

On Error Resume Next

ReDim args(WScript.Arguments.Count-1)

For i = 0 To WScript.Arguments.Count-1
    If InStr(WScript.Arguments(i), " ") > 0 Then
        args(i) = Chr(34) & WScript.Arguments(i) & Chr(34)
    Else
        args(i) = WScript.Arguments(i)
        End If

Next

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run Join(args, " "), 0, False

4. Open windows task scheduler and create a new task called start docker containers
5. Set the task to trigger at log on of your windows user
6. Set the action to Start a program with program/script of Wscript.exe with arguments //B "launcher.vbs" powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -file "docker-compose-up.ps1" and start in C:\Users\windows-username\startup-scripts

Some reflections on this setup

While obviously this setup isn't for everyone, and is by no means a recommended way to setup your *arr stack, if you enjoy working with Windows or have Windows-specific hardware/drivers you want to use then this is a viable alternative to running a Linux server. My personal motivation for doing this was to get 5.1 surround sound audio working reliably - something I've tried and failed to do on Ubuntu several times due to ~~my own incompetence~~ linux driver issues with my particular Soundblaster S/PDIF audio configuration (and the fact my TV doesn't support 5.1 HDMI ARC passthrough).

If anyone can suggest any improvements or errors in this guide, then I'd be very happy to hear from you! I'm not pretending to be an authority on any of this - but this setup works well for me and hopefully there's some info that other folks will find useful.

Finally, I hope I haven't missed any important steps (as I'm writing this guide from memory, rather than as I was setting things up) but if you run into any issues or notice a missing step then please let me know so I can edit the guide.

Hey, I finally learned how to break widevine and managed to get some drm content decrypted. I did this woth tubi which was relatively easy. So, Next I would like to embark on the adventure of decrypting some paid streamings, esp. D1sn3y and H8O M1X. any tutorials on that? From what I tried, the process is not as simple as with tubi (maybe because tubi is mkre straightforwaed and free?). Anyway, Im eager to learn and would be grateful of any good guide on that. 🏴‍☠️

Edit: Okay, since I grasped bascics, now its getting easier and I managed to download some content from D1sn3y using N_m3u8DL-RE but only in 720p. Is it possible to get it in 1080p?

I use innertune to play music on my phone, it's ok but I'd like to move that server-side, and have the app store the music files in case I play them more than once. Is there a way to use a Subsonic app like Gonic in that way? I noted Tapsonic a while back which sounded about right but it doesn't seem to be getting off the ground. I saw a plugin for LMS that looked almost right but it apparently requires a YouTube API key.

Trying to get the FitGirl repack to run in Lutris or Heroic. I'm running PopOS! with Nvidia 470 drivers. (Using xorg, not wayland.)

I installed the game on my Win10 partition and it runs fine, so instead of re-extracting everything I just copied over the installed game directory over to linux.

I tried running the game in lutris, but the framerate is less than 1fps, constantly. The main menu is navigable with extreme patience. I've tried running in Heroic as well. Same problems. In Heroic I'm using Wine-Wine-GE-Proton8-26, which looks like the most recent version of Wine-GE (even though there is a separate entry for "Wine-GE-Latest" with the same release date.)

Looking on Lutris' website, there isn't exactly any documentation on what dependencies I may be missing: https://lutris.net/games/metaphor-refantazio/

Checking FitGirl's repack site, the comments go on forever and no one is talking about issues running on linux. I've seen youtube videos showcasing it being playable on linux so I know it's possible.

Following this video, I installed some generic dependencies using winetricks in the game's heroic settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbbXoqDfkY0

Though, some components are failing to install. I installed:

• d3dcompiler_43
• d3dcompiler_47
• d3dx9
• d3dx10
• d3dx11_42
• d3dx11_43
• vcrun2005

I'm having various issues installing:

• dotnet20
• dotnet48
• faudio
• vcrun2008
• vcrun2010
• vcrun2012
• vcrun2013
• vcrun2015
• quartz

Though, I don't even know if I need any of those things. I'm just trying common solutions and hoping one works. The game is launching it's just playing really slowly, so a dependency might not be the problem.

Does anyone have any idea why the game is playing so slowly?

EDIT: Issue solved by upgrade Nvidia graphics drivers from 470 to 560!

Throwback to this gem.

Is there an uploader somewhere (not asking for links or anything of the matter) that does most tv shows in the format that RARBG then Kontrast (on tgx) used to do? I sometimes find 'Vyndros', 'PSA', or 'QXR' but I can not find anything close anymore for most shows. Maybe I'm just bad at looking now. I'm not really interested in the packs below that quality line.

I don't use usenet or any private tracker.

I dont know who needs to hear this bit qBittorrent has a nasty vulnerability ( and there are some older ones too)

qBittorrent, on all platforms, did not verify any SSL certificates in its DownloadManager class from 2010 until October 2024. If it failed to verify a cert, it simply logged an error and proceeded.

To be exploitable, this bug requires either MITM access or DNS spoofing attacks, but under those conditions (seen regularly in some countries), impacts are severe.

The primary impact is single-click RCE for Windows builds from 2015 onward, when prompted to update python the exe is downloaded from a hardcoded URL, executed, and then deleted afterwards.

The secondary impact for all platforms is the update RSS feed can be poisoned with malicious update URLs which the user will open in their browser if they accept the prompt to update. This is browser hijacking and arbitrary exe delivery to a user who would likely trust whatever URL this software sent them to.

The tertiary impact is this means that an older CVE (CVE-2019-13640 https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-13640/) which allowed remote command execution via shell metacharacters could have been exploited by (government) attackers conducting either MITM or DNS spoofing attacks at the time, instead of only by the author of the feed.

The US Copyright Office has denied a request to allow remote access to out-of-print video games, a decision that impacts video game preservation efforts. The request, supported by the Video Game History Foundation and the Software Preservation Network, aimed to let libraries and archives digitally share these games with researchers. However, the Copyright Office ruled against it, citing potential market harm and copyright concerns.Key PointsDenial of Exemption: The request sought an exemption under the DMCA to enable remote access to preserved games. The Copyright Office found that proponents did not sufficiently demonstrate that such uses would be noninfringing or fair.Opposition

Arrr mateys, how goes the plundering?

If any of ye salty sea dogs has a hankering to create some fresh images for the c/Piracy Wiki Community Edition, we'd all be much obliged to ye.

Cast ye eyeballs on the example banner image below (660 x 200), but mind ye that it doesn't have to be that exact size, just something that'll fit nicely in the wiki (more detail on that below).

The links below be a treasure trove of direct links to each of the wiki pages. To be sure, we'll be wanting a unique image for each of the pages, 18 in all! That's a lot of art, so it's fine if you only want to submit a few - but be ye sure to clearly mark which page each image is intended for. I've gone and numbered them for convenience.

Ye may be wanting to use the example image as inspiration, or go your own way with a completely different art style - that's completely up to your own creativity, me hearties. If ye want to include a pithy tagline to go with each image then all the better, but it's not a requirement.

Contest rules:

• Ye can enter as an individual or as a group of people.
• Enter as many times as you like.
• The booty is getting your banner images included on the wiki pages, including a credit for your hard work. No share of gold doubloons will be awarded, alas.
• The competition will be open for ~2 weeks, starting today, all submission to be received by end of Sunday, November 10th (UTC+0 Zone).
• AI generated art is allowed, but entirely optional.
• Please don't use any copyrighted material outside of fair use (I know, the irony!) just so that scumbag lawyers can't DMCA us.
• To submit your artwork, post ye images in the comments below for now, so the community can vote / comment on their favourites.
• All submissions should be a maximum of 1110 pixels wide by 250 pixels. Please keep a copy of the original art since uploaded images may get heavily compressed by our image storage.
• If you don't want to commit to producing an entire set of 18 images, then that's totally understandable - it's fine to submit as many or as few as ye like.
• Depending on the number and quality of submissions, we may end up choosing images from a variety of artists, or all of them from the same artist if there is a complete set. Or we may decide to rotate images periodically if we get a large number of submissions. That's a lot of words to say that I'm not sure yet what we'll get and how we'll choose the winners. But it'll definitely be based on community feedback, so feel free to comment below if you have any good ideas.

Lastly, I'd like to acknowledge all the kind and knowledgeable folks who have contributed to the Megathread over the years. This new community edition is a bit of an experiment to see whether we are able to keep everything up-to-date as a community, without a lot of gatekeeping. So making the wiki our own with community sourced images is just one fun part of that adventure.

If anything important needs to be added that I forgot in the above, I'll edit this post and add it below:

Is there a way to download or otherwise use Brainscape flashcards without paying (imo) high subscription prices for their "brain science"?

I'm going to see what I can do on my own but I'm low skill so any help would be appreciated.

TIA!

“Despite the support and enjoyment of the anime by our readers, a business practice that does not benefit the manga artist has persisted. I felt obligated to remain silent until the issue was resolved, and I apologize to the readers who have supported me as a manga artist for this extended period.”

Due to non-payment of royalties, the author had even contemplated pulling the anime and its related songs from streaming platforms during the dispute.

However, earlier this year, Ai reached out to the Ganma! editorial department and Comic Smart to investigate the matter.

In August 2024, the company acknowledged their failure to uphold the royalty payments stipulated in the contract. The editorial department issued a formal apology to Ai and provided a detailed report of the situation.

By the end of August, they calculated the amount owed and transferred the full payment to her.

75% of the anti-piracy discussions I see rarely blame companies like Nintendo or Disney and always try to talk about how piracy is immoral, and you should feel "dirty" for doing it. My question is why do people seem to hate those who pirate more than the bad practices of mega-corporations or the fact that they don't want to preserve their media?

Hey, so there is a show called all star laff-a-lympics which is only available fully on tubi. It is also available on amazon, but im pretty sure they dont have all of the episodes. Furthermore, tubi version is remastered - the quality is top notch, way better than on any dvd or any rip Ive seen so far. And to add to it - tubi is prettt unstable when it comes to longevity of they library. They had remastered pup named scooby doo which they deleted over night. So, it is worth ripping - how to do it? I tried streamfab but it only allowed me to download 3 episodes (and I had to run microsoft defender a couple of times since I used cracked version). Also, the show is not available in my country so I had to use vpn.

I see it sometimes when I download games and I usually avoid it but I want to play the game online so I want to know if its a genuine concern. Couldn't find anyone else talking about it on here :P

EDIT: Thanks for the info everyone! Makes much more sense now.
