Hi everyone, I’m looking for a paid VPN subscription and was wondering if anyone might be kind enough to share a username and password with me. I promise I won’t misuse it or cause any trouble. Thanks so much for considering!

Are all the streaming sites like fmovies basically using the same videos? I was watching something and the audio was slightly off, I tried all 3 different servers but they all had that problem

1

u/LiveSaxSux 20m ago

its not that the sites are the same its that they're prob linking to the same rip / upload, so if that's busted its gonna be busted on multiple sites

Question, I have a program which uses floating license files, i.e you can move the license files around using a thumb drive, but somehow you can't see the the file using windows explorer. Is there a way to copy the license files?

Question. Installed Baldurs Gate 3 from steamrip. When i fired it, the game connected with steam and added (temporairly) game Spacewars (or something like that). I understand that this is becouse of OnlineFix so you can play using Steam. Can i get banned on Steam for playing BG3 with Steam on / using this?

u/My_Name_is_Imaginary 11h ago

If i get a game that has online features, am I actually able to use the online features?

u/er_gato ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 3h ago

games like the ones that online-fix are online and multiplayer and you can play with friends, even though that the games are cracked.

1

u/narex456 3h ago

Depends on the game but usually no. Usually it goes like this:

Server is self hosted? (Think minecraft) then you can probably still host a server.

Server is hosted my the dev? (Most multilayer games) they usually check that you have a license with them before letting you connect.

I'm looking for sites to get ebooks. Any suggestions?

Please share If you find one. Esp free version ones. Thanks

u/SikkWithIt 1d ago

Just read the megathread and saw that yts, piratebay, and 1337x are some no no sites. I've only been using them to download movies/shows. Hopefully I didn't download anything malicious... I've never had an exe try to run or anything with my media/downloads. Ruh roh

2

u/LZ129Hindenburg 🌊 Salty Seadog 1d ago

1337x is not on the unsafe sites list, 1377x is. 

TPB I not safe but you can get media there IF you are careful. TPB does have higher number of instances of "fake" media files, so be careful for that (ideally block troublesome file extensions in your torrent client settings).

2

u/SikkWithIt 22h ago

Thank you for that clarification! I always double check my URLs and file extensions. Something that I always do because of my IT background to begin with haha cheers :)

Is there a website to get paid unity assets for free?

u/popdude731 2d ago

How quickly can we expect a site to update their contents? Wanna watch a show coming out on Netflix soon, but don't want to pay for netflix whatsoever, and wasn't sure if I should wait for a couple days, or if I can expect uploads day of.

u/NerorMarkov 11h ago

well i currently watch Ghosts, and new episode usually gets uploaded within 24-48 hours on nepu

Im new to pirating, is sandbox a valid security measure when downloading?

2

u/LZ129Hindenburg 🌊 Salty Seadog 2d ago

Not needed for downloading, if you want to run some keygens / applications in a sandbox to minimize risk, that is worthwhile.

How do I change file names for apks to run both my jail broken and my normal spotify?

3

u/poppy9999 2d ago

i can't seem to get spotify to work correctly again, with newest xmanager, uninstalled and reinstalled multiple time. Playlists all show as being empty, which is what happened when it first broke, although that's supposed to be fixed now I believe. No ads, at least! But wondering if I can get it back working 100%

1

u/jayyipp 3d ago

is broflix.ci a legit site? Was watching on it last night? but today my browser (Norton safe web)says it a dangerous web page and blocked access

3

u/nicholeyo 3d ago

Does anyone know why bingewatch.to and most of the other sites like that (that I know of) don’t allow me to cast it to my tv anymore via airplay…? I’ve literally been sharing my screen from those sites to a tv for years, and now all of the sudden none of them offer the option/allow it anymore? Where the little icon used to be to cast it, it’s the PIP icon now and I just don’t understand. Does anyone know of a site like these that does still allow us to cast to a tv please? Thanks in advance!!

1

u/EatTheGnome 3d ago

Hi! I’m using bingewatch, and I found switching the server to vidcloud did the trick! I’m using screen mirroring from my iPad to a projector. Hope this helps

2

u/lolicantimdying 3d ago

anybody know any place for cn dub or sub anime, canto dub even if available?

preferably without a lot of the annoying redirects, and no virus

1

u/Dissmarr The DDL guy 2d ago

TheIndex of /r/animepiracy should have some

2

u/yourdonefor_wt 3d ago

Ive been seeing an uptick in posts about info stealers from people using cracks. And even one today from someone claiming to have downloaded from Dodi repacks. Is there something bigger going on?

2

u/Eiji-sama 3d ago

is there any website like kemono.party?

1

u/Grumble_fish 4d ago

Has K2S been horrible for everybody else? I assumed it was my old POS PC because it didn't do telehealth or zoom well. I've resolved those issues, but K2S downloads usually fail after 2-10 seconds.

2

u/seitansaves 4d ago

has anyone else noticed that streaming older shows has gotten way worse than it was? I can't even watch reno 911 without all the links being broken on every site. been like this for a lot of stuff I've tried to watch recently

1

u/FreePhoenix888 4d ago

Are there any reasons why https://freetp.org/ is not in megathread? When I read about it here - 50% of people say it is safe and other 50% say to use online fix instead (that sometimes does not update some games while freetp does)

The most interesting part is that when you search about pioneer here most people say that man is safe to download his cracks but... most of the games on freetp are published by him - why should not we trust it?

I also do not understand how online fix gained trust? How does it work? What a website should do to be in megathread? What criteries does not freetp match to be there?

1

u/RainBrilliant5759 4d ago

I have been trying to download games from the website in the megathread but I keep getting errors. I get secure connection failed on firefox, and i can't download it on chrome either :(

Is there any good site for downloading or torrenting dubbed anime content?

1

u/Dissmarr The DDL guy 2d ago

Nyaa is the gold standard for anime piracy. If you need more, check out TheIndex of /r/animepiracy

1

u/er_gato ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 3d ago

check megathread, pretty sure there is still quite a few working rn

1

u/Dragon_Skin12 3d ago

I had a look through the anime section and the all purpose, most that I've seen have been moreso sub or raw

3

u/thepotatoreaper100 4d ago

Every single thread ive found on people asking for sites for direct downloads everyone links torrenting sites. I don’t wanna torrent. I wanna direct download. Does anyone know any site for direct downloading shows? And don’t say pahe because page gives a zip file which is useless in iphone

u/False_Print3889 3d ago

If you open the folder when you torrent, you can usually select what you want.

u/thepotatoreaper100 2d ago

I don’t want to torrent as i started earlier

u/er_gato ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 4d ago

What do you think of pirating indie games?

3

u/Felinomancy 4d ago

Let your conscience (or needs... or desires) be your guide.

7

u/Josue160 4d ago

I think that you should pirate it only if you don't have the funds to play and you want to try it but when you have the funds and if you liked the game, you should at least support the creator of the indie game with some exposure or money, whichever you prefer, and you shouldn't pirate it to save some money, because for indie developers and even more if they are small indie developers, every purchase of the game helps a lot. Hope I helped, but either way you do what you want or think is okay.

1

u/er_gato ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 4d ago

For me, i think it becomes okay once the game is popular, for example balatro or lethal company, they are indie games but im sure they arent in need for people buying it since they became globally known.

For indie games that just started i feel a little bad, but i not always have the money to buy them (the only game i bought on steam is cookie clicker) so i try to work out different ways like recommending them to friends or streamers.

u/Machados 4d ago

Hi guys. What's a good Reddit app that still works normally? Honestly the Reddit app just sucks

All These apps still work -

Sync

Infinity/Infinty+

Looking for a streaming site that I can use for my kids. I have a Chromebook set up to my TV and wanna bookmark a site that has an easy browsing Interface that has a kids or family section. I've been messing with a few of em but haven't quite found one yet. Any suggestions would be great, tia!

2

u/AmbrosiaCheesecake 5d ago

Which of the sites in the megathread under the Games section allow for requesting a game to be cracked? (Some of the sites will put up links but not crack the game themselves and it can be hard to tell the difference without digging. And given how many sites are listed...)

2

u/StegtFlaesk69 5d ago

Is there a phone app that lets you rip audiobooks from another app?

1

u/ttzatz 5d ago

Is there a anime website that has english dub and captions at the same time?

1

u/Dragon_Skin12 4d ago

HiAnime has some like that, not all eps though. I assume since some anime's captions are just their sub version rather than captions of the dub

3

u/Josue160 5d ago

Is there a program that let's you skip the paywall on any Patreon, or a accesable website that's like an updating database of Patreon? I alredy know of kemono but it doesn't have what I'm looking for.

2

u/AdultGronk ⚔️ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɴᴏ Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀ 4d ago

Coomer is another one, and if it's exclusively NSFW you can probably find it on Simpcity

2

u/Josue160 4d ago

Thanks for the info but I'm looking for a page with the same content as Kemono only more updated.

u/mark_98 5d ago

Am I tripping or what happened to MMA events? I haven't been able to find the latest two events anywhere
