Microsoft CEO of AI: Online content is 'freeware' for models • The Register
  • my AI is so good, it generated one that’s 100% identical

    plus my AI uses less than 99% of the electricity of Microsoft’s

  • German ebooks
  • There are at least two ebook torrent trackers that have ebooks in multiple languages.

  • how do you smoke and not get fat
  • You sound like a good candidate for the keto diet. It a hack for your hormones, so hunger cravings better match actual caloric needs. Plus, you’ll need to get high-carb foods out of your house, so they won’t be available in times of low self control.

  • How to get invites to private trackers?
    1. Find a tracker with open invites or a recruiting interview
    2. Be a positive part of that community, seeding forever, and becoming (usually) Power User or higher
    3. Look through the invites available in the PU+ forum section for other communities that interest you, and get invited from there

  • Happy 42nd birthday, Frederic.

  • Do you cap your upload/download? Why or why not?
  • Yes. I cap upload and download, so the rest of my network runs smoothly. I then seed forever, so if anyone wants it, they can have it if they’re patient.

  • Funimation setting for yt-dlp to backup your digital copies
  • Yeah, I noticed that it has consistently picked the best format without me having to tell it. I just run the -F first, so I can see if that's true by looking at the available formats and looking at what is actually downloaded. I'm not at the point where I'll just trust it yet.

    Edit: Oh, yeah, I meant to say: I'm totally open to suggestions for making this process better. The better it is, the more it may help someone else.

  • Funimation setting for yt-dlp to backup your digital copies
  • Yeah I agree. I can always do that later though. The digital copies will be gone in a couple months.

  • Funimation setting for yt-dlp to backup your digital copies
  • No worries. I already acknowledged that ripping or piracy were probably simpler.

    For me, it’ll be a little more convenient to do the downloads than to spend time ripping. I’d have to go to the room with my computer that has a drive. Downloading I can do with my laptop anywhere.

    I’ve been meaning to get better acquainted with yt-dlp’s settings for use all over the web, and the April deadline put on pressure to learn sooner rather than later.

    And, although the disc version is undoubtedly better, the archivist in me also wants the digital copy version as it was available.

    For others, they may not have a disc version at all and want to backup their purchases.

    Edit: And, oh yeah, MakeMKV is awesome.

  • Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever”
  • yt-dlp can be used.

    I only have one purchase on Funimation, and it’s a digital version of a physical purchase.

    I’m trying to figure out the exact best options at the moment. If there’s not one yet by the time I’m ready, I’ll make a thread with my command and why I chose each option.

  • How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?
  • Find a Usenet provider. A quick web search and some reading should get you to the right place. I’m not sure if any good free servers are available anymore, but there’s probably one that’s cheap enough.

    Looks like https://sabnzbd.org/ is a free and open source Windows/MacOS/Linux client that can download files. I haven’t tried it, but it’s highly rated on alternativeto.net

  • [ADVICE] Tips on creating a small website just to host links to pirated content I've translated
  • If I were doing this and lived in a country that’s not hostile to piracy, I’d look up webhosting providers in my country. I’d then learn a little HTML and CSS at https://www.w3schools.com/html/ and just write pages in Notepad++ and upload them to the server.

    If my host dumped me, it would be ridiculously simple to re-upload the files to a new host.
