1337x admins allowing BG3 torrent with bitcoin miner stand after multiple reports in comments with proof, seems like the site lost it’s credibility. Suspicious that the user is also shilling to donate to 1337x, suspecting him being somehow affiliated with 1337x mods
a say it this way im not an expert on torrent comunities, in reddit there’s a lot of shit saying.
I u have win PC:
AV for movies mp3 shows not programs
there is a free utility that’s called file in Linux, it detects via file headers the file so make a scrip to mail you when you have any exe in your movie’s folder (check openai for this)
maintain your software updated, get informed via RSS asap new versions arrive (mitigate vulnerabilities)
+. Update your OS,be aware for msft mayor update releases, the second Tuesday of every month
For programs use a vm to check if they are safe. Check out/in connections ,registry changes, google for more. Not share clipboard an folder should be read only
I’m not against pirating, but given how long it’s taken to crack some of the stuff I was waiting for, and watching things drop to like $10 from a $60 title after a year or two, now I just perpetually wait 2 years until I buy any game. Pirating movies, music, and other ‘consumables’…great. Pirating executable content, no fucking thank you. I learned that lesson as a teenager, and I’m not going to put my computer at risk in that way any longer.
Just too many hoops to jump through to maintain a secure PC when pirating games/applications. Anyone who thought 1337 was “safe” to begin with, is fucking stupid.
With a miner for a game with online content then virtual machine doesn’t save you. It may keep.your data safe but still uses your resources for mining.
Fair point depends how long you play the game for and also how the miner works though. Is.it only.mimimg while the game is running, that may be easier to slip past a virus checker.
Many games, etc detect being launched from within a virtual machine and will refuse to run. I already run Proxmox here at home with plenty of virtual machines for various services like jellyfin. I’ve unlocked my 3080 to do proper hardware GPU passthrough and partitioning and even normal…non-pirated games will refuse to run in a VM.
The problem is that it doesn’t. You running this one game that works, doesn’t account for the huge library of games that don’t run in that manner. It doesn’t invalidate my point that spinning up VMs just so you can pirate games is a lot of bullshit to go through just to pirate a game that’s gonna be $10, 6 months from now.
I don’t remember what program, but I remember coming across some people who didn’t feel comfortable giving games like Valorant and Genshin Impact kernel level access so ran it on what they called bare metal or something running it off another drive. Maybe it was Ventoy?
Have wondered if a dedicated drive for just pirated software and games would help keep the main system safer with how cheap ssds have gotten. Maybe a way to run it off an external ssd while blocking off access to other storage that doesn’t have pirated content?
So people run games through a Virtual Machine? I haven’t pirated PC games due to not trusting them, so have been curious the steps people take to avoid situations like what occurred. Have wondered if some people have a dedicated PC for just pirated games, or at the very least run it off an external drive.

Did they say donate to 1337x or donate to 1337x followed by a link? If it’s the latter it might be to trick people into donating to an individual.
I’d be hesitant to think that’s how 1337x mods would get a few extra dollars.

Okay, was that supposed to prove a point or something?

I dunno man, you made a point, he countered your point, and you got defensive and doubled down, sounds like the discussion is over
I mean, I get what you’re saying, and yeah in your scenario it doesn’t make sense. There are some people for who piracy is much more necessary

It’s not that hard…
I have never even heard of this group but I play everything through wine on Linux so if you compromise my weird setup fair play I guess
