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 matches 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
I was able to find more info on Spotiflyer. There's not much more to it.
Apparently the domain expired for Deemix and the subreddit dedicated to it links people to the FAQ on the website.
I wasn't sure if it was similar to programs I've used in the past where you need to create a Deezer account and manually convert Spotify playlists with another service.
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.
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

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?
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.
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.
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?
I'm using the full *arr suite, a vpn container, transmission, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Kavita, pihole, nginx, and a few others.
The only problem I'm having is memory. There are times when pihole, Jellyfin and BitTorrent are all fighting for resources, and the network stalls. I picked up the formerly mid-range with 4/32GB of RAM/Storage, and i should have picked up the 8/whatever GB. They have a new one called the Zimablade, it uses a desktop RAM stock, and I've got a few of those knocking around. It's cheaper than the Zimaboard, so I might pick that one up as a supplement, and split the load so that my pihole/nginx/vpn don't all go down because Jellyfin just had to transcode something.
If you're just doing the arr suite and Jellyfin (I haven't used Plex since they started the mandatory sign-in bullshit), the 4GM RAM version is adequate. If you're trying to run 20+ containers (raises hand) you'll find you have to stop the containers you're not currently using.
Thanks for your detailed answer! RAM use is what I was wondering about mostly, I will probably go for the 8 GB version to be on the save side. Zimablade looks very interesting, but I couldn't find anything about when it will be actually available. One last question: do you use stock casaos or some other OS?
Another thing I've done is you can find used thin-client types of machine on eBay for like $25. I got one when I was looking for something to run Home Assistant on, throw in a $20 SSD, and off to the races. That's with 8gb of ram. The only thing I'd be careful about here is if you have a lot of plex transcode from host/client.
Strong recommendation for yams.media. It's essentially a shell script that installs all of the *arr products, qbittorrent, plex/emby/jellyfin and helps keep them up to date via docker. Also has easy support for VPN.
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'.
Any recommendations for a place to obtain ebooks?
Libgen, zlibrary, annas-archive
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!
LibGen, Anna's, MAM, IRC (undernet/irchighway).
A lot of good suggestions already, i would add mobilism.
yt-dlp, tixati, soulseek-qt, jdownloader, and a short list of various ddl/torrent sites in my head. gog-games, nyaa, 1337x, rin, rutor, rutracker, and honestly if what i'm looking for isn't on any of that, i just assume i don't need it.
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.
I don't know if that counts, but I love Vimusic app and NewPipe. Torrent-csv and Amnis player is a powerful combination on my phone, too. May the power of webtorrent be with you.
Btw, the TorrentCSV dev is the same as the lead dev of Lemmy
YT: Revanced & Firefox w/ extensions
Papers: SciHub ofc
Books: libgen, or zlib occasionally
Manga: Tachiyomi
Anime: 9anime usually
Anything else: consult the megathread :)
qbittorrent w/ public trackers (1337x torrentgalaxy nyaa) + torrentleech
yt-dlp
slavart for flacs
hakuneko for manga
cs.rin.ru
revanced
mullvad
1dm app on my ph.
Care to elaborate for the plebs, my good sir.
Thank you for input!
Edit: This one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=idm.internet.download.manager
Do you get it from ggle or an APK website?
Travelors = travellers + sailors. I like that!
