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…
SpotiFlyer. It matched 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.
Why wouldn’t you just use deemix? You can download Spotify playlists and they’ll actually be 320kbps
How is the quality of the music downloads from spotiflyer? Is it as good as 320 kbps mp3? Does sound more convenient than other options.
Yeah I’d say so. 320kbs I think is the default quality level
If it downloads songs from YouTube they are not 320kbs
Just 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.
I 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.
I thought M4A was better, long term?
YT Music ReVanced (for all my music playlists) +
Spotify via Xmanager (I like the lyrics feature)
Qbittorrent (got some audiobooks)
And I pirate paid for and modded apks
Thanks for the recs.!
No problem
what lyrics feature
Where you open the song and it shows you the lyrics and they are synced with the song so you can sing along.
isn’t that the normal spotify feature?
Yeah, my point was that’s the only reason I keep Spotify around. YT is just missing so many lyrics.
ohh okok
…yes?
It is

Any recommendations for a place to obtain ebooks?
Libgen, zlibrary, annas-archive
LibGen, Anna’s, MAM, IRC (undernet/irchighway).
MAM is what’s always recommended.
Sorry, whats MAM?
myAnonymouse. Invite only though or you have to wait for one of their interview periods.
A lot of good suggestions already, i would add mobilism.
Reddit 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.

Thanks! I’ll add it to my bookmarks!
Steam deck is awesome for pretty much all computery things pirated games work well with proton too it also can output to tvs pretty well over usb c if you wanna play some remuxes
I’m going to break in to your house and steal yours! (Honestly, I won’t, but that’s how I felt reading your comment, lol) I want one so bad. I’ll just keep on scrimpin’ and savin’.
iPhone 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.
How do you sideload? Do you re-sign it every 7 days with your Apple ID?
Yeah I do it like this. I use altstore on the iphone and altserver on pc. Pc is running everyday anyways, and it updates automatically over wifi.
Oh OK. I never knew this was as convenient or this did not exist a few years ago. Only was for a pogo hack (time where the good ones were only on iOS) though so not very important.
Yes. 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.
I’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.
If nothing else, use Sonarr! Once you add a tv series to the monitored list, it’ll automatically search/find/send the latest episode to your torrent client. There’s something special about not having to think about it. Movies are pretty hit-or-miss, I’ve had Back To The Future on deck for a while now, but all it’s finding are Blu-ray files too big for my zimaboard to transcode.
I’m thinking about getting a Zimaboard as well (for full *arr suite with media streaming to my TV) - how do you like it so far? How is your experience with media streaming (Pley or jellyfin) with files other than big blu-ray files?
Vpn, yt and yt music revanced, iptv subscription, plex subscription.
Currently looking for a plex subscription replacement that is quick to upload and sports replay focused.
1dm app on my ph.
Care to elaborate for the plebs, my good sir.
Thank you for input!
