ELI5 how does piracy streaming work?

Bittorrent via javascript in the browser?

Or just leeching?

Yes Aria does torrent download and has support for an "upload" notification and finding good seeders. But I have to see if it supports seeding.

Aria2 is just for download right? biglyBT is updated more recently and also opensource for a long time, so I trust it more. But the UI sucks.

Why jshelter? Used it but dont remember the use case. I use UBO and Noscript, together with "Cookie autodelete" (as mobile has no support for allowlist websites delete all others), Bypass Paywalls Clean

Pixel 6a, GrapheneOS. Soon EOL, I would buy a 8a if you dont have a Pixel.

Novacustom Laptop with Coreboot and Fedora Kinoite.

Browsers: Mull on Android (DivestOS repo), Firefox RPM + Arkenfox on Fedora.

Torrent apps: BiglyBT on Android (seems to be the only one reasonably updated with support for seeding?) and the legendary qBittorrent Flatpak on the Laptop

I have 2TB of storage on the Laptop NVME but my VPN stopped providing port forwarding, so seeding only works to people with open ports. Nonetheless, I seed until share ratio 5 and then often delete the stuff.

Not on the phone, as I have storage issues 🥲 128GB is NOTHING

Otherwise, Grayjay has a plugin, and Soundbound (by the former dev of Spotiflyer)

Handbrake/ffmpeg: What free video codec to use for 720p videos? (slrpnk.net)
 

I have a lot of old movies, most will barely be 720p.

I ripped them off DVDs with MakeMKV and have sometimes 7GB files for 1,5h.

I want to convert them to something below 300MB, I often see more modern torrented movies below that size, so this should totally be possible.

They will only ever be played with VLC (Windows) or Celluloid/MPV (Linux) with hardware decoding.

But what codec to use? h264 and h265 are nonfree, arent they? But Videolan has some free variant of it and Cisco also offers their free version for h264?

Never heard of VP8 and VP9. Then there is AV1 but that seems to only have "264K 360° Surround sound 3D VR" options.

Man I just want to encode normal movies 🥲

What about webm? That is under "web" but probably also good?

I suppose I should use h264 for compatibility, but the web stuff will also be compatible. I would like the best and fanciest algorithms to have least dataloss.

Also, what to use for the audio? I think opus is best.

Thanks!

Packaging Davinci Resolve into a Flatpak (github.com)
 

Davinci Resolve is known to be extremely picky about hardware and software. It officially only supports CentOS which doesnt even exist anymore lol.

So putting it into a container with set and unchanging dependencies ensures it can run everywhere (if it works).

Also, running such a proprietary piece of software should be done isolated from the rest, and Flatpak has awesome permission management in KDE or using Flatseal.

[YT] How Mozilla Ruined Firefox (www.youtube.com)
 

Actually pretty good video.

  • Search engine
  • Google location service instead of their own (which they quit)
  • FakeSpot & Pocket collecting crazy personalized data

Also info about difference between Mozilla Corporation and MZLA Nonprofit.

If you donate to Mozilla, nothing goes to Firefox. Instead they host petitions and beg big tech companies to be more transparent.

They dont focus on old users at all, and it seems they are unable to implement basic stuff.

I still recommend using Firefox, but with the Arkenfox userJS.

Or just use Librewolf.

Firefox is not usable. And dont donate to Mozilla I guess.
