Before Discord they were using IRC which was printing your IP address (or reverse DNS) when joining a channel.

At least with IRC you can use a VPN and self host a server.

Discord can, and is highly incentivized to, identify and track you across the internet.

Idk if they do this, but it shouldn’t be that hard in this day and age to build a profile on users based on messages and activity. That can be cross referenced with other sources of data to identify you, especially if it’s done manually by like an FBI agent or whatever.

Everything about it is fascinating. These people all have day jobs yet they provide a better experience than the multi-trillion dollar corporations that are releasing the product in the first place.

These people probably all have day school... I think most people who get past school age tend to retire out of this crowd of people...

Are you implying that young adults are more responsible for the state of piracy today than adults? I don't see that at all.

Am I correct that homomorphic encryption will solve the DRM problem, in the sense that it will be mathematically proven (in the cryptographic sense) to be impossible to bypass?

Of course, you'll still be able to cam-record the actual output, or steal the image from the TFT/OLED electronics, but no easy bypass.

I don’t know why but for some reason I was hopeful to see unit tests in any of the repos. Searching “test” for that user doesn’t reveal any tests. :( Even the digital property liberators/internet pirates don’t test their software. I feel like I’m on an island with a small population of test enthusiasts.

What's the best place to get started with testing? As a newbie brogrammer it's intimidating enough writing software that works, let alone suites to comprehensively test it. Is there a testing 'bible'?

There are many deeply held beliefs that people have about testing, so I recommend reading many different takes on how to structure your testing approach. For the pragmatic python programmer, Brian's book is quite good as a starting place:

I just want to control the viewing experience, not hoard warez. Effortless rewind, skip filler (car chases, sex), play at x1.25 speed, etc. aka the "Blu-Ray experience". If that means I gotta bypass the DRM and download, so be it. -- Some shows have my complete rapt attention. I'll keenly watch (and rewatch) every single frame. Like Netflix's Maniac. OMG. So frikkin good. (So many other examples.) Other shows, especi…

I have the best possible experience by ripping my own Blu-Rays into my own Plex server, including all the languages, subtitles and commentaries. Easy to use, kids-friendly (no dirty fingers on discs), playable from anywhere, including offline with synced copies, and I don't pay a monthly fee to watch the content I already paid for.

I wouldn't go back to subscription-based services, even if that means I have to wait for a disc release. At least there's a market for used Blu-Rays so I don't have to pay a fortune.

This is one of those github repositories that you just clone and move on. Don't fork, just clone to your local system. When it gets taken down the forks will disappear, whereas the clones will not. You can also just download a zip file. https://github.com/widevinedump?tab=repositories

#!/usr/bin/env bash API_URL="https://api.github.com/users/widevinedump/repos" for url in $(curl -s $API_URL | jq -r '.[].html_url') do echo "Cloning: $url" git clone $url done

If I wanted to save an important repo, I would run a command like this:

  ssh user@rsync.net "git clone --mirror https://github.com/widevindump/Netlix-4K-Script github/2021-12-27-widevindump_Netlix-4K-Script"
... which works because the 'git' binary is maintained on rsync.net and can be executed over ssh[1].

Who the hell skips car chases? What movie had a car chase that you wanted to skip that made that movie more watchable (this sentence applies to the furious films as well, skipping the chase scenes there gives you the dumbest drama of all time).

I have sat through some movies just for the car chases.

Car chases are often filler like action scenes in general are filler, IMO. It's not universally true and depends on how consequential the scenes are. If you could flash " " instead and not miss much, I don't want it. Movies with top, top notch action and/or better integrated action are exceptions. The original Matrix, John Wick movies, Baby Driver, The Italian Job, Mission Impossible, etc. Superhero movies are usuall…

Yup. Just depends on the telling.

Fast and Furious 1 was a decent film that I enjoyed. I even have watched more than once.

But the sequels are a different story. Those were unnecessary and absurd.
