There is something that I do not quite understand, suppose I host GameVault, those who use my instance will be able to download games from a library that I host, or everyone gets their own games and the system simply takes care of showing which game play each person?

And is GameVault currently federated or is it planned to be? I mean, that I can see what someone from another instance is playing?

Honestly you are right, I should think before posting things like this, may sound dramatic but I don’t want my whole Instance to be damaged by a post.

Good idea, I’m going to post it.

I actually wanted to post something related some days ago. Why happen if I store pirated content inside my VPS? I think the answer is pretty obvious, in their TOS should say that if I do that they will BAN me without warning, but can they detect the files? Or worse, what if I download directly into the VPS with torrent or Jdownloader?

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know Alpine Linux uses APK as package manager, but it has nothing to do with APK on android. (I said this just to clarify any misunderstood)

Honestly, I think the best you can do is downloading the Windows version and playing it on Wine, yeah, you can use Waydroid but why using an Android downgraded version when you can use the Windows version?

I took a quick look and it says it has a free option for individuals with practically everything unlocked, what’s the point of that? It’s a trick I guess?

I hadn’t thought of it and it sounds awkwardly simple, I’ll try it.

I am trying to have a separate second site.

I fixed it but now I had another strange problem, I used docker to install Owncast and made it use the port 9090 but it seems that Owncast want me to use 8080 to watch the web server, any idea how to fix this?

(When I start Owncast it says that the web server is on 8080)

That’s why I said natively.

I agree with what you said, but it’s also important to clarify that a lot, but a lot of pirate Windows software doesn’t run on Linux with just two clicks, even with Wine, it doesn’t look like it but check c/LinuxCrackTips.

Games like Forza Horizon 5 or Monster Hunter World (just to mention two examples I have in mind) need to run under a specific Wine prefix that is usually not as simple as searching on internet which prefix to use, it’s pure proof and pain of trying until the game miraculously opens, and many times if it’s not the problem of the prefix itself it’s because you have to add specific environment variables, sometimes you need specific dependencies that you don’t have any idea, sometimes said dependency is DX11

I think that even sometimes is worse, Days Gone for example ran with lag because I used “system sync” and not “esync” and here it wasn’t even the prefix problem, it was of that, nobody told me, I had to try it myself.

And not to mention that when you want to download pirated games on Linux it’s best that they’re a crack made by Empress, since she/he has to work specifically with Proton binaries to make it work on the Steam Deck, look Resident Evil 4 Remake where Empress had to create a crackfix specifically for Linux (better Linux support than Capcom herself, heh) because the game to Linux users under Wine/Proton threw an error, but the same game on Windows didn’t suffer from that.

And finally, there are programs that just don’t run because “Your GPU isn’t supported”, that mean that the program it’s not detecting the driver, so I find it hard for something like a cryptominer to work in Linux under Wine, but of course it can happen.

Personally I use Bottles, since Bottles allows me to manage my prefixes and their processes in an orderly and clean way with graphical interface and within a flatpak container (which I know, it is not necessarily the safest thing, but it is inside the Wine container, and the Flatpak container that gives me more security) but within Bottles I can close all the programs and processes that a prefix has open with a click, if I had Wine installed at system level where the programs ran to two clicks I actually would worry too much because I would not have the same level of management as in Bottles.

Probably because the vast majority of the pirate software available is for Windows, and there’s no way that program will run natively on Linux.

I mean, if I download a movie from freevirus(dot)com it is most likely that the movie will be a .mp4.exe and not a .mp4.sh.

I tried filtering for “first aid course” on 1337x and one result pop up, I suggest you check that out.

Do you plan to make “important announcements” of Denuvo games being cracked in r/crackwatch style? It’s not for criticising but the cracked games on a daily basis are often indie, and honestly I doesn’t check those posts every day, it would be great a announcements post when a big game is cracked like me I don’t know, Atomic Hearts

And thank you for creating this community! c/crackwatch is basically dead on this same server.

I seed at least 10 files at the same time on my main desktop and the CPU usage used by the program I use never goes above 0.5%, I can play and do everything I normally do and never have to stop seeding files. In the HDD usage I honestly don’t know, although the games I play are on the same HDD that is currently seeding.

Do the repacks come with the .xci or .nsp separately or in a directory where I can extract it and copy it to another one?

I already have Yuzu configured on my machine (which is Linux) and I’m pretty sure that Wine could not run an emulator as smoothly as the emulator itself does natively on Linux.

I don’t know if this cat help you at all but here you got.

Yes!

A genuine question, even if it sounds like I’m being silly, why? I would like some context as to why someone would not receive a DMCA for dll’s.

As a Linux user who lost at least 100 hours of his life wasting time trying to install a thousand different repacks, I suggest you to stay as far away as possible from any windows repack such as Dodi or FitGirl, usually they open but half way through the installation for x or y reason the installation stops and gets corrupted, you can try a thousand times with a thousand different commands and variables and nothing changes.

I suggest you to use “pre-installed” formats, Steamrip is my top 1 page to go to when I want a pirate game on Linux using Wine, and this is because the game already comes pre-installed, you just have to unzip the file and you have it ready to play.

Then, other highly recommended sites are Elamigos and GoG-Games, and if you really want to download repacks you have Torrrminator which personally I have never used.

Someone should create a community about Linux piracy like r/linuxcracksupport, I would do it but I don’t know if I have the time and patience to be the mod of a community.

I recommend you as the others commented to search in torrent pages.

SolidTorrent, TorrentGalaxy and 1337x are just some of the sites I use to download courses, and at least in my case I found hundreds of resources, books and videos of complete programming courses.
