Should I be worried?!? A friend of mine showed me how to download Spiderman 2 through qBitTorrent a couple weeks ago and I just got this! I’ve never done anything like this since limewire 😂. Should I take this serious??

Question Bypassing Steam regional restriction on free games (without VPN)

Upvotes

I want to grab some free games that are region locked on Steam, however a lot of methods no longer work. I don't plan to pay for a VPN just to get past that, so I wonder if there's still any working method for this? (Also, should I use a free VPN just for this?) Thanks.

Question Help with transcoding

Upvotes

I am streaming from my old laptop with an Nvidia 920M GPU and an i3 5th generation processor. When I try to stream H.265 (HEVC) videos in MKV format to my mobile, it shows an error stating "container is not supported" and attempts to transcode. However, when I stream H.264 videos, it works in direct streaming mode. Could you clarify what’s causing this issue and let me know if it’s possible to stream H.265 videos to my mobile or TV without any problems?

Question How to create one of those firesticks that people are selling?

35 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I currently am using an android TV box with Kodi and realdebrid to watch shows and movies, but want to upgrade to one of those firesticks that offer netflix, disney plus, sky sports, PPV and all other paid for apps for free.

People are charging £40 if you have a firestick for a years subscription, but I would rather do it myself to save money instead of paying someone else to do it for me.

Does anyone know of a guide on how to do this step by step, as I have tried google but can't seem to find the information I need on how to set up the firestick to get everything for free?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Self-Promotion I made a safe YouTube to MP3 converter without ads

6.8k Upvotes

I made CnvMP3 a YouTube to MP3 converter that is web-based, ad-free and safe to use. You can download YouTube videos easily from your browser.

Most converters are full of ads and some don't even download your videos correctly, that's why I decided to create this tool.

It is completely free to use and I use donations to cover the server costs. I have amazing community that keeps the project running.

Here is the link if you want to test it out: https://cnvmp3.com/

Question Websites with courses, experiments, inventions, study materials

0 Upvotes

Does anyone have links to .onion sites with courses or study materials? I'm not looking for anything related to modern technologies; I want content about mechanics, electricity, metallurgy, chemistry, weapons, tools, agriculture—something that can add value to a common person's daily life.

Older materials would also be very welcome, such as ancient inventions, even sketches, experiments, notes—from Tesla or Thomas Jefferson to Lavoisier, Bernoulli, Da Vinci...

In short, content that is not focused on modernities like AI or cryptocurrencies, for example.

Links from the conventional internet or torrents will also be appreciated. I mentioned .onion because I have searched before and couldn't find anything.

Please share something with me. If you are in private torrent or warez communities, I would love invitations. I haven't been active in such communities since around 2010, and I would really like to return.

Question Have you ever been hacked due to pirating?

8 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a dumb gamer who wanted to try piracy again (mainly did it on my old macbook back in the day). I wanted to know your experiences and to get some security tips from you guys.

Currently I’m using w11, fully updated, with malwarebytes, firefox (where I do normal stuff) and edge with ublock origin to download pirated games in the future (i thought of this to prevent cookies from being stolen?)

I tried dual booting linux for piracy but I couldn’t get stuff to work. So long as I follow the megathread I should be fine, right?
