This is actually one of the less effective examples of geoblocking that someone could ever imagine.

Russian warez sites are only “Russian” because they’re run by local admins as pirate sites located in the Global South have tendency to have a longer lifespan and less chances to end their days by being raided than hosted in the Western world. Most part of such sites users / uploaders are from worldwide, for example, if you’ll check your active peers for any active rutracker upload, you’ll see, that only small part of them have Russian flag. So such geoblocking makes literally zero impact, as it never prevents user from any other country from uploading the tunes to such website.

Also all Russian users are already geoblocked, as they won’t buy anything from you (even if they would want to) because most of webservices that you could use to promote your album won’t be able to charge their cards due to sanctions. And if some of such users use foreign VPN + credit card combo and are able to use such services, they are not affected by your geoblocking, as they’re attached to different region.

“running android on the Pi and then using LibreTube on that is my best option” really sounds like best option available. Any mediabox with android is better than anything that smart tv has to offer. Once i got my TOX3, i don’t remember launching smart tv apps once again. What i’ve got installed is Revanced, Televizoro (for iptv streams) and LazyMediaDeluxe (for movies streaming).

Wow, war is peace, literally

Sorry to say, but if that’s your business proposal, then you’re getting your MBA courses wrong 😫 not due to your proposal being clearly illegal, but because it has no monetization (and actually it’s not business proposal per se, but charity proposal).

And regarding your question, while copyright infrigement is illegal worldwide, there’s already a working solution which is used by major pirate resourses. And this solution is hosting copyrighed material on servers which are located on jurisdictions which are hostile towards countries where content owners and you personally live. This means if you need to host popular US/EU content, here’s ISPs from China, Russia, Iran, Belarus and so on for your help. For sure, none of them would anyhow care of your privacy, freedom of speech and so on, but what’s more important, none of them would also care about any EU/US issued copyright infrigement complaint about your server if it’s not backed by local authorities. Needless to say, both your server and ISP HQ should both be placed in such country (server in Moscow won’t save you from anything if you rent it from firm with main office in London).

Promotion of new public pirate resourses always depends on catching traffic from search engines and never on reddit posts. This actually means that promotion of public tracker is by far easier than promoting a gatewalled one. Also this means that active public tracker would have constant influx of new users who don’t know about rutracker, 1337x and so on.

By the way, promoting useful public pirate resourses is always a good thing, so there is no point in treating complaints about this with understanding or respect.

You need ReVanced app, that’s new incarnation of Vanced app that ceased to work

rutracker or 1337x

Thanks for interesting excursion into your delusions. Actually you’ve just written WHY Ukraine is more desperate for manpower than Russia (“every single person is part of war effort and so on”). So you yourself proved your initial position to be wrong, but you were too lame to grasp that. And about “we are invaded”: the only war that you personally wage is war in lemmy comments against facts, logics and critical thinking. Don’t try to cover your own nullity with other’s casualities.

So Russia tried to hire some Cuban mercenaries… literally same as Ukraine has done since the begginning of conflict, scraping mercs from entire world. So there’s no point to argue, really trafficing more mercs = more desperate. From the third attempt you finally managed to bring something like valid argument, sadly it clearly works against you and once again shows that you’re bot without any logical thinking.

The question wasn’t who’s being INVADED, the question was who’s DESPERATE FOR MANPOWER.

wtf you’ve lost the point of conversation and of your own original message, that’s the real sign of ridiculous idiocy

I have no issue with your blocklist (and not gonna downvote your comment), but i still have to say that your position is pretty strange. Why at all join lemmy.ml which is known as real Babel tower with wide range of different opinions without any of them being dominant or enforced (and that differs .ml from .world, beehaw, hexbear, lemmygrad and so on)? If you need echo chamber, you can join other instance or get back to reddit, no reason to wait someone to code some functions.

Ukraine:

• closed border for all males;
• non-stop involuntary draft of unwilling citizens;
• resorts to conscripting HIV positives and people with mental health issues.

Russia:

• first wave of forced mobilization ended half year ago, second wave still not started;
• still has open border for most citizens (which actually helped a lot of them to avoid first wave of mobilization).

In alternative reality created by western massmedia this definately means that Russia is short of manpower. In world of logical thinking this actually means something else.

Yes, Ukrainian soldiers on front line are worried about cancer and birth defects. They are rational human beings who hope to return to their homes and live long lives and grow healthy children, not some subhumans with only intent to kill, kill, kill, as you wish to think.

“Looting toilets” is the funniest part. Do you really believe that Ukraine is such pauper country that invading soldiers couldn’t loot anything more valuable than used toilets from occupied cities? It’s required to have literally zero critical thinking in order not to understand that this is propagandistic bullshit.

The main thing with free sports streaming is that they are not maintained by pirate enthusiasts. It’s sponsored by non licensed betting operators which can’t make legal advertizing. This exactly means that any kind of banning of websites or pirate broadcasts would have no effect; siteops would add new unbanned domain to existing infrastructure and would continue their operation. You should say thanks to addictive gamblers for your free sports streaming!

He asked about trackers which have search plugin for qbittorrent and your answer fits well as rutracker has even two different plugins ready.

I had the same question dozen years ago when was taking part in publishing one book (in my translation from French). Publishing house finally used phrase which in English should sound like: “Not protected by copyright law”.

Significant part of camrips now is sponsored by non-licensed gambling operators who literally pay tens of thousands dollars to bootleggers who can film latest releases and bring recording to them on exclusive basis. There’s even some habitual bootleggers who film camrips for their living. So when you watch camrip of the latest hollywood title which is spammed with gambling ad watermarks then most likely this casino/betting operator has paid someone to record the screening.

4pda board, but you have to be logged in to be able to download files

Well, movie streaming services are maybe the most expencive to run as they require CDN infrastructure. CDN is server network where films are hosted and from where films are streamed by end users. CDN consist of servers with a lot of webspace and with fast connection, also those servers are spread across the globe: for example, if three different users from Melbourne, London and New York stream same movie in same quality from some top pirate streaming website, they might be connected to three different servers (each of this servers would have fastest speed for corresponding end user). Needless to say, running a full scale CDN for popular movie streaming website is not possible for random enthusiast. So such websites are owned by pirate enterpises which convert seo traffic to money through advertising of services which are impossible to promote using legal channels (primarly illegal gambling operators, but also forex, hyip and another types of scams). You can try to rent CDN api access (or even whitelabel with some codebase), as CDN owners sometimes offer that on blackhat boards. But you should keep in mind that renting CDN/whitelabel is illegal deal paid in cryptocurrency: you have a chance to get a proper service to built your own website and you have a chance to be scammed. What i’ve said above is only related to all-genres libraries. If you have some very limited project (like South Park fansite and only want to stream this show episodes and nothing more) then everything is by far easier.
