TLDR: Download your content offline before it gets lost forever.

From now on you should never trust online hosting, I started seeing a lot of piracy sources( Streaming websites, torrent indexes,… Etc) get shut down.

So I highly recommend for all pirates to download anything they want offline to reuse and don’t trust keeping it online, sadly for me, a lot of material had been lost as there is almost no online service or piracy service has it( I am talking about material that is 5-10 years old.).

I know that this is not the first time piracy websites/hosts gets taken down but this time feels different as it became aggressive and I feel that in the next months a considerable amount of content are going to be lost.

I’ve been maxxing out ram on my pi 3b OMV/docker server and was looking at getting a pi 5 to replace it. Are there any good guides for setting up that *arr stuff I see out and about?

Also open to other hardware alternatives to upgrade from a pi. I saw a lot of n100 hype but I just don’t expect it to be the miracle worker some people claim it to be lol

Thanks for reminding me. Yeah I need to backup my ROM library of old games. Got most of them from Vimm’s lair earlier this year. They had to take down a lot of the games shortly after cause threats of law suit from Nintendo, Sega among others. It’s just absurd many of the games on there are not even available legally anymore.

Can someone explain to me why these services were on the clearnet to begin with?

i2p and Tor are really slow + the amount of people who use them are small compared to the clearnet and also a lot of those websites have ads on their website which would not work on i2p or Tor , so it does not make any sense to host it there.

Ads work on .onion. I’d never click one, but you can show a banner no problem.

I guess z-library needs to make a template on how to get a setup like theirs working. Unlimited subdomains lmao

And upload content as torrents, share the torrent files/magnet links and keep seeding!

To add to this, back that local hardrive up on a REMOVABLE drive, and keep it physically detached. We are all one lightning strike away from near total loss.

Would a surge protector be enough? I’ve never owned one, but I’ve considered putting my PC, router and (in the future) NAS behind both a surge protector and a UPS.
