I recently picked back up reading comics and webtoons after years of having mostly forgotten about them, mostly because I missed reading some of my older favorites. And oh dear the paywalling is so much worse than it was back when I left webtoon. If I want to read an ongoing comic on Originals, I have to use the app. Fine, whatever, I can wait until it's over. But if I want to read a finished comic, I have to read it on the app and I have to watch ads or pay to unlock every episode, and paying the webtoon currency is absolutely impossible. 20 to 25 coins per episode. The coin prices are absolutely outrageous, which I wouldn't mind paying if they actually went to the authors, but particularly webtoon sucks at giving creators a fair cut. So I give up and download the app to watch ads so I can read the 200+ comic I wanted to read but I come to find the ads don't even work! They load for a full damn minute and then they just send me back to the start page. So I go through all the usual troubleshooting and still nothing works. I've had it up to here with their freebie scam crap so I try looking for other site versions of the webtoons I wanted to read, but there are none since most are not in english and they're not popular enough. This has been a four day fight that has left me insanely frustrated at something that used to be a nice relaxing hobby. The only good thing that I think has come of my little adventure is that now I'm extremely curious if anyone else around here has noticed the lack of high seas alternatives to those money hungry shit habits. I couldn't really find means to remove the paywall, either, so I also wanted to see if maybe some more experienced pirate has a direction to point me into; and if anyone may have anything they wanna discuss about webtoon's practices and the ethics of pirating media that is primarily made by independent artists.

Uh-oh! I've been torrenting away without a care in the world for decades, but soon my ISP might cut me off.

It's almost as if the Trump administration (who pressured Mexico for this change) wants me to use the Putin-aligned video site OK.ru...

Continuing on the linked post, I wonder if another option could be to simply wait for the game to become ported/ready for emulation. I have zero experience with the world of console emulators.

Please advise 😊

Back in the day I recall finding lots of well curated and conveniently packaged ebook collections. Things like Goodreads choice 20XX, top 100 sci-fi of all time, etc. These days I know plenty of places generously providing individual books, but not where to find these nice collections. The ability to browse popular releases would also be nice. Ideally I would avoid needing to setup specialized tools, like readarr. But if something like its list feature simply blows away any other options I'd consider it; whatever gets the best results in the least time.

I'm looking for pdfs of Ponyfinder ttrpg books. Upon checking the megathread I couldn't find any sources that mention ttrpg books, can anyone point me towards good sources?

according to fmhy.net, ns2db.com is the only site that keeps track of the switch 2 rom releases.

The website nintendoproject.com says they "are working on it", but wouldn't trust them.

Live torrents for some old movies and pretty hard to find. I thought about somehow extracting .m3u8 but that didn't worked out. Those sits are getting better at hiding real stream URL. Any way to easy do it or something?

I finally want to play this, but I don't feel confortable with Denuvo. Unfortunately I bought the game on Steam way before I cared about DRM.

I read about the "leaked" unprotected .exe that was used to crack the game ahead of launch and I was wondering if FG's repack using CODEX's release is the one based on that unprotected .exe so I can grab that to play without installing Denuvo.

thanks in advance!

edit: it probably has Denuvo, since the CODEX release is "Episode Ardyn", which came out a year or so later, and the NFO mentions Denuvo in "protection". I'll be giving up, hoping they remove Denuvo from the Steam game sometime in the future

https://dodi-repacks.site/ doesn't have its own magnet links; would make things so much easier.

[Edit: see suggestions in the posts below about Nicotine and slskd, and also about scary features of Soulseek.]

I was checking the download page for Soulseek.

Curiously, the last builds for Window$ and Ma¢ date 2026-04, but the last for Linux 2024-06. Is that just a typo? Or maybe vice versa, given that the last news is from 2024.

Dave they dropped development for Linux, or altogether?

I have only found appnetica but most of the "big" releases are locket/unavailable
