Note for the hacker crowd: they don't mean free as in speech. They mean free as in beer that fell off a truck.

You can find their work for free here: https://fmhy.net Just keep it hush-hush.
Thanks, but I should have been clearer: I meant the work they use to pay for their groceries. That's the good stuff.
Piracy is preservation. Always has been. Rightsholders must not be allowed to control how works are preserved, else they can very easily steal from the eventual public domain in ways that mere piracy can never be considered stealing.
popular stuff that you could watch anywhere, you can pirate of course
but anything more obscure is impossible to find, or was there at one point but is now long gone
stremio + debrid had been nice for most things. after a bunch of random stremio plugin outages i built my own little app that just talks to apibay and the debrid back end and links it up to vlc a few months ago and have just used that.
Which debrid service do you use?

Everyone likes to shit on patents, but patents are designed well. You invent a thing and in exchange for publishing it openly, you get time-limited exclusive rights to it. Why the hell is copyright not like that?
I've used this site for years, I originally found it off their subreddit. When they finally moved to a dedicated site it really improved the whole user experience from whatever reddit CSS was doing. The admins keep it consistently updated and remove problem sources on a regular basis.
It's very much a community effort! There's a semi-open discord (the invites are only open on fridays) with a website suggestion and voting system

When I was coming up, hackers embraced both those definitions. "Information wants to be free" and "fuck corporations" were our guiding principles. Edit: to the dead comment in reply to this one, of course it's more nuanced than "all information should be public at all times". It's almost like a 5-word axiom necessarily omits nuance in exchange for brevity. Hackers also used to exhibit critical thinking skills, sheesh…
That’s long gone, especially around here. YC is YC. It’s sad the best we could do in terms of community forum is a VC’s website.
It is sad. There are definitely some talented people here but the pervasive corporate bootlicking is pretty hard to take, at times.
Certain usenet newsgroups had a similar vibe, once upon a time, but usenet couldn't solve the spam problem.
It's easy to remember the URL too.
- I was also a fan of githubs awesome lists (eg. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted)
- I think separated lists are cool, because they focus on one subject, like self-hosted above... but if all awesome lists were in one big list...
- awesome lists are often data, with a lack of search functionality. fmhy site has a search functionality, but I often prefer searching links by a 'tag'
- what most of awesome lists lack is 'votes', or 'ranking'
My solution is to provide links, with tags, and 'ranking' https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database. Provides search by link, title, description, whatever. I think that is where it all should go.
Also my database captures links from fmhy.
