Because Darktable is that kind of open-source app that’s designed in an incomprehensible way and is almost unusable. And, because anytime I can pirate from Adobe, I’m gonna do it 👍

No worries there. I don’t even need the new one as long as it supports my camera.

 

Is this as much of a pain in the ass as I remember? Do I still need to patch the download and then block Adobe in my hosts file, or has the process changed?

The last time I tried to do this, I actually found zero torrents that worked. All of them gave you keys that had long since been banned by Adobe. I'm on Mac if it matters.

Anyone in here know anything about this? I posted this morning, but that vanished. Odd.

Hush now, sweet summer child. I don’t mind that you’re putting musicians out onto the street.

Spotify is terrible, but you seem to be saying that since none of these have every single album, you’ve chosen to pirate it all? Not sure if that was the reason.

I shouldn’t have said “all the music that exists,” more like “an overwhelming majority of existing music.”

I’m always curious why people do this. Music is the one item where it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists. They gave us the solution we asked for and it’s super-cheap.

I pirate the shit out of movies and tv since those guys are gouging me, but musicians barely get by in the streaming era.

Hopefully this triggers nobody. I’m making no judgements.

Set up an arr stack on a seedbox. Or better yet, a bittorrent client on a seedbox and the rest of the stack, plus plex, on a local NAS. Learn Linux, networking, and docker in the process.

Project length to range between a day and a year depending on technical ability.

Alternately: sub to Amazon for a month.

Those are not for live sports right? They’re more premium direct download services?

Most impressive. Of all the operating systems you use daily, which do you pirate on the most? And, do you switch operating systems depending on mood — or another criteria?

“I think I’ll use Debian Stretch today.”

Is it really true you’ve never asked a question on the internet? If so, is that because you were born with innate knowledge or because you just know how to use Google (only Google, apparently) so well that the sum of human knowledge opens itself to you, like at the end of The Highlander?

My amazement grows.

As for what I’m accusing you of, that’s easy. Being pedantic and pretentious.

Weird, once I got my provider to stop blocking my VPN (I learned that some do) and/or switched to endpoints my ISP doesn’t block known IPTV ports on, I’ve had no issues. Apple TV, mac, iphone, all of them. Everything flawless.

I might even take my seedbox down and torrent locally, since that’s easier. A full Apple pirate workflow, aside from my NAS.

I liked the parts in your post where you dropped in various operating systems you’ve used to make the words you were typing look more factual. Have you pirated on BSD? That would be intense!

For me, I think I’ll stick around. I genuinely enjoy making fools look foolish — and now that I know fools are in season here (and are overpopulated) I’ll get my real info elsewhere and focus on the fun part. Cheers!

It's just shitposting, he doesn't understand how VPNs work or that it's not hard at all to use them on Apple. He wants that sweet dopamine from the "me too" posts.

[–] Algernon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

That's not what I asked. Read it again. I asked if my IPTV provider blocking VPNs from all major VPN companies and requiring their own config was normal for IPTV.

I'm not sure if you didn't know this or if you just ignored it to make your post seem factual, but all the major VPNs have iOS clients. Every single one. Less so on Apple TV, but that's only been allowed on tvOS since iOS17. And obviously, Mac has a billion VPNs.

What I took personally was the brigading on Apple that had nothing to do with understanding the technical issue. Niggas just want to shitpost, since that's what niggas do when they don't know shit. They see "Apple" and "iOS," and hey! Doesn't matter what the thread is about, let's just say shit about Apple. And that's boring as hell. Give real info, or if you don't know, don't post.

Last night, I made a "support ticket" in my provider's dashboard asking them point blank if they block commercial VPNs, and if they recommend me watching their streams in the clear. I also made this post lol, but nobody reads Lemmy, so that won't be it.

This morning, I woke up and every single PIA endpoint I tried in every country on all my devices worked perfectly. I can't explain that and I bet nobody here can explain it either, since nobody posting so far has any knowledge of how IPTV providers or IPTV tech works.

Just to say it again, thanks for showing me this sub is not for real. Not a good source of info, not a good community for sailing the seas, strictly for entertainment value. Unless the people who do know stuff happen to be on vacation.

Hahaha you guys are so low-info! I’m a Mac and Apple user and that triggers you? Amazing. Would you like me better if I was sucking down telemetry and ads on Windows and Android, or do you need me to be straight up Linux desktop? 🤣

Just let me know, I’ll sell all my shit 😉

I expected way better from the Dbzer0 piracy sub, but I guess TIL you folks just want to shitpost. Literally I come in here and say “Apple” and the thread derails.

Now I’m wondering why I even made an account on db0. I can scroll Lemmy memes from anywhere and that’s the only other thing this platform is good for.

Hell, looking back through this sub’s last couple weeks, nobody in here has said dick about shit. What a shame, where are the decent posters at?

I’ll tell you what. Give me a few days to figure out a solid Mac and iOS workflow for IPTV and I’ll come back and post it. So that way, this forum can have one piece of useful info.

As for you my man, study hard.

 

Hey all, please don't even think of replying here with suggestions for actual IPTV providers, just DM me if you're willing to make a suggestion. Otherwise, let me know if the below situation is normal.

Long story short, I'm new to IPTV and looking for one that does US sports. I just got semi-scammed (at least, misrepresented) by a provider I found on one of the forums.

I spent most of my trial period struggling to get a VPN to work (and thought I did). Then I paid for six months, which was dumb as shit.

I picked up PIA to replace Mullvad, since that one has an Apple TV client and I'm Mac/iOS/tvOS. That broke IPTV on all devices. And why? Because these guys block VPNs due to "other IPTV provider want to steal our streams from their servers" broken English BS excuse that I can't even make sense of. What does one thing have to do with the other?

They want me to use their VPN, which is based on either Outline or Surfboard (the second doesn't even have a website). On Mac, that would mean using Tunnelblick to run their custom config file. The best part is:

In the chat, I asked what I should do on Apple TV. That's when they ghosted, since they have my money now. And then came back to say "Oh, actually we DO allow VPNs, it's your ISP that's blocking them."

So how come I can go anywhere and do anything on PIA, except use IPTV?

I'd love to know if that situation is abnormal. Am I right that streaming a bunch of IPTV using some rando's config file (or in the clear) is batshit? This is all on the high seas so I gotta use a VPN, right? Am I just misunderstanding the technical issue due to the language barrier?

Experienced IPTV sailor perspectives welcome 🏴‍☠️

 

Hey all! First post over here, though I go back a decade plus on ~~reddit~~. I'm wondering if there are any dbzer0-friendly Mastodon servers, particularly ones related to what we're talking about in here.

Overall I want a server that's anarchist-friendly, NSFW without supporting the illegal stuff, and not likely to up and vanish tomorrow.

It'd be nice if everyone had not defederated with it too, just like how dbzer0 is fine with all the Lemmy servers I need.

The Mastodon community on Lemmy is my next stop, but I'll happily check out any recommendations from you guys.
