This as well. I will say even the time where i would normally spend watching shows on stuff like dailymotion primewire etc i know most just watch youtube channels

I think its simply, at least for a while, the tech space was male dominated. And depending on the type of piracy, it requires an amount of tech skills

So but would this be games thst you have installed? Or is this just like the individual install files?

Im a little confused on whats the usecase for this? It seems cool but im a bit confused when youd be hosting stuff in this way

Yep i use revanced on my phone and smart tube on my firestick

Not getting into the weeds about their recent stuff - but the community of Reddit has generally given great to me.

I have found, expanded, and learned about so many interests and hobbies and information through Reddit. From computer repairs, to game help, to install guides, to home repair, even just getting some new perspectives. For years it was a community I felt happy to interact with and that in general wanted to help others

Yea for me anything that can either gamify or quantify my achievements helps a lot

Exercise is a definite one. This is actually coming from a medical side, not just a personal one. There’s a lot of data there.

However I think hobbies that are ‘measurable’ are also really good. Ones where you can feel like you accomplished something. So things like painting, drawing, learning something, reading, where you can feel like youve finished something I feel really helps.

So a good idea might be combining the two. Maybe an exercise with a goal in mind. Or maybe take a few karate classes, with the goal of working towards your first belt. Or biking a certain distance every day to reach a total amount for a month. I personally find when i can see that my hobby has some measurable accomplishment, I personally feel more satisfied with that

Also for me social things help a lot. Im a very social person, but can get such in a rut. Finding more ways to be social can help expand and open you up to other things

I find it’s very context dependent. In the 3d model/printables, a lot of people who release the pirated content so a 3-4 month embargo to allow the creator a chance to let people get it legally before it’s available everywhere.

I got my first virus in years this week from a ‘verified’ uploader on 1337x

Is there a way to block an entire instance as a user? There are some instances that seem to cater to communities that I have zero interest in, Abe instead of blocking each community, Id rather block the whole instance

Yes I have. The issue is it doesn’t have very good built in scrapers. Comicrack has amazing tools for organizing your library, where Komga breaks really easy. Especially with series that have either long names or names that repeat, such as having multiple runs with the same name (such as Spider-Man). It wish was really really bad at being clear on how/what it was updating. In the end, I only read off one device, and comicrack did it better

Also add Sub Rehab to the ‘jumpstart your subscription’. Has a bunch of subreddits and a way to submit linked subreddits/communities

Anyone seen any issues with revanced for this? I haven’t experienced anything but curious if anyone has ran into anything.

I download almost everything using Premiumize. It essentially downloads the torrents for you, so you’re only downloading things from them at drastically faster speeds, and never connecting to the actual swarm. You just send them the torrent file.

For the actual organizing, I use TVRenamer mainly. It’s an extremely underrated tool that not only organizes your shows and movies, but does a great job of helping you identify what you’re missing, like missing episodes or specials.

I use tdarr to reencode all my stuff to x265

Plex is mainly how I watch stuff. I like kodi a lot, but most the time Plex is a lot more streamline.

For comics I use comicrack. Best way to do comic organizing by far

Get a firetab 10 and a 500gb sd card. Prime day is next week, it’ll be on sale. It’s a less than $100 option and works great. It’s roughly the size of a comic book, and works great for just reading comics.

I use comicrack to organize the comics, and there’s a few workflows out there that people have made to organize and sort the comics. I can sync it all wirelessly from my pc to my tablet, pretty easy process.

If you do go with the furetab, Id recommend looking into the fire toolbox on xda that helps with some functionality

At the same point though, isn’t that like the ambulance crew acting like a first step of triage? Like it sounds like they’re doing their job, assessing your security and prioritizing those that do need it? I mean if you have a broken arm or feeling not well and called an ambulance, i want to be taking care of the guy that came in coding and needing CPR not focusing on someone who will likely be alive in the next minute, compared to the guy who isn’t breathing
