lol, got to argue about the new eurofighter some how

Educational content. I'll get udemy or pluralsite content if I'm studying a topic. It has helped me earn certs and stay informed on different tech.

Its been as easy as searching stuff like YAML or AWS on tracker sites. There is a surprising amount of content. I even got some cool cooking content from Master Class

Audiobooks! I buy the books but I'm too lazy to read them.

If you buy the book but listen to it as an audiobook, wouldn't buying the audiobook in the first place be an option then?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That'd be great, but I don't have where to buy them. Plus having them as physical books is easier to share them, since not everyone likes audiobooks.

That’s 3d printing files right? Where can you pirate them and what wouldn’t be on thingiverse?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's a ton of commercial/locked-behind-patreon stuff, usually around things like RPG scenery or figures and such.

Like, an immense library of shit that's not free.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh yeah, like 40k stuff? Where do you find this stuff? I have access to unlimited free PLA

Check out kemono.su / kemono.party. They're a patreon(among other subscription service) archive site that makes use of crowdsourced keys. It'll initially look like 110% porn, but you can often find other patreons there if you search those specifically, such as those for 3d printing stls. It can sometimes be hit or miss whether they properly archive downloads, but they're usually a worthwhile option.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I don't have a specific place; just some of the private general-purpose trackers I'm on will occasionally have someone come by and dump a pile of STLs from various places on them.

(The private part, unfortunately, means I can't actually share more, sorry - fight club rules and whatnot.)

Depending on your political views you could download open-source files for guns in case they get taken down

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not really piracy, is it? I'd say it's more like censorship circumvention.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys 1 points 1 month ago

True, but it still has lots of parallels

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Why have I never thought of that...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Never had luck finding anywhere that has .stl's. Any hints on where to look?

Boardgames.

I am still to actually print them. But I have the files.

RPG books. These I actually have them printed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interesting. How much do you spend to print a typical core rulebook of say, the coastal magician type?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

B&w around 2-3 cents/page, depends on the amount of ink coverage.

Then binding is free where I do it, and shipping cost. Maybe 5-10€ depending number of pages. I did like a bunch of books at once to reduce shipping.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That’s really cool actually

Boardgames I found a discord room.ñ, it's about the "boardgame engine videogame" but they post assets of real boardgames.

RPGs, there's a Telegram group with a name like this mineral.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Printer ink. I got a cheap canon printer and drilled holes in the ink cartridges so I can refill them using generic ink for 1/1000th the cost of what the printer companies charge.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could you link how? That’s so cool

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure thing, this outlines how to modify the ink carts: https://www.wikihow.com/Refill-Canon-Cartridges

And you can buy bulk printer ink for around $10 for all 3 colors+black on sites like amazon or ebay.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks! That's an awesome deal

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

backups of books I have bought with ebooks..

Foliate on linux is a great ebook reader

(or KOreader on both androix linux - this setup allows you sync your page progress)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Might be controversial, but I pirate OnlyFans content (porn). I ain't payin a monthly subscription for that shit. Telegram is pretty great for that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Could you share a bit more about how you use telegram for that purpose? I'd like to learn more. Thanks. I've never used telegram before btw....

Which types of epubs? How? Thx!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

All types of books! like 200k of them

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Comics (though it probably falls into 'basic media'), well over 1TB at this point either way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like to pirate old dance music tracks from the 90's

Can you explain pirating of unraid licenses? I have already paid for one but didn't know this was possible

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There’s a crack of it running around that tricks it into thinking you have a license. Of course idk if they also changed something nefarious.

I ran it for a while before I decided it wasn’t worth the risk and also run more Linux now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I don't think I'd like to admit to anything. But during my research, I found large compilations of leaked passwords, sheet music for not so popular music instruments, vintage software and abandonware...
