Ah, I missed that since it’s an unofficial flatpak so it wasn’t listed on their site or forums.



Also it’s better for Devs than buying grey market keys bought using stolen credit cards.




Lawyers went after Tachi Devs, Devs abandon Tachi, new Devs forked Tachi and made Mihon.




There are IRC/XDCC search engines. I don’t know their exact method of scraping IRC servers, but they kinda work.

Also, if you know the right servers and channels, most have some kind of search index or bot.


Elemental hit digital purchase recently so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding it from official, or less, sources.


Jellyfin/Plex/Emby turn your media collection into your own personal Netflix. They have apps for multiple platforms, you can setup user access controls, parental controls based off age ratings, track progress through shows and movies, search and organize based off genre and tags, and much more. Also, they can handle on the fly transcoding of the media, so if a device doesn’t support a specific codec or container it can be converted into another, or if the user is on a poor Internet connection which can’t handle a 4K video, it can downgrade the quality to make it easier to stream on the poor connection.

Overall, they just provide a better experience when consuming media.




Not really possible anymore. It’d be easier to just pirate the books at this point after the changes Amazon made this year.



That’s Vanced. ReVanced is a new thing where you take the official YouTube APK(or some other apps)and patch it yourself. They have an app that does the hard work for you. You just have to find an APK for the right version of YouTube via APK Mirror or similar.


Yeah, a lot of similar functionality which is what I was mainly looking for. Especially the IMDB search. Not as much curation, but enough tags and details on most things so you can at least sift past the junk.



Yeah, in retrospect it does seem on brand for Japan. Just feels weird after being used to them cracking down on anything even mildly copyright infringing.


As I said, wack-a-mole. You ban a site, different one pops up, people share links in DMs and other platforms. Sharing that stuff isn’t banned in other countries, so they can’t actually take down anything. Good luck stopping that when you can’t even properly get sites blocked at the DNS/ISP level.

And this doesn’t even get into VPNs and proxies.


This is a strange move from a country that is usually the most overprotective when it comes to copyright. Though I guess if you view it from a “pro-business” view then it might make sense. Sucks a ton for artists though.


This is dumb on so many levels. It’d be trivial for people to obtain a web browser that ignores this. The biggest browsers in the world all have open-source code bases, so anybody could build something with near feature parity but none of the restrictions, and then distribute it wherever. Enforcing this would be just create another game of wack-a-mole, with no advantages for the copyright holders, and potential abuse against even non-pirate users. Very slippery slope.



Works fine for me, so I’m not sure why you think it’s terrible. Only mobile browser with Developer Tools too.


Kiwi Browser is Chromium based and supports desktop add-ons like uBlock Origin.


Yeah. I mean credit where credit is due, but saving a project once doesn’t give you a lifetime get out of future screwups pass. It might give you leniency on the next few projects you worked on, but it’s been years at this point.



I’m still riding Emby, but it feels like they’re also stagnating, with it taking forever(literal years) to implement some seemingly simple features. Too many times have I looked up some desired minor feature just to find out they said on the forums back in 2019 that they’re working on it. That pace might be forgivable if they were a non-profit open-source project, but they ditched open-source a while ago and have paying customers. It’s getting ridiculous.

You connect to the WiFi for free, but you only can access their webpage that has the in-flight entertainment if you don’t pay extra. The $8 gets you access to Google and the rest of the Internet.


My seatmate was having a faster expirience with the paid Internet, so I think there’s definitely some bottlenecking with Cf, but he also kept getting randomly disconnected, so he wasn’t satisfied either XD


Just left it on the default Warp settings. Only major change was whitelisting the domains for the in-flight entertainment.

Best to connect to the WiFi first, and then turn on CloudFlare.

Be aware that sometimes the in-flight Internet is just busted though.

Free In-flight WiFi and Internet (Tested: Southwest Airlines US)
Not your normal kind of piracy, I know, but thought some would be interested. On a recent flight I was screwing around on my phone while connected to Southwest's WiFi. Southwest doesn't have traditional In-flight entertainment, instead offering movies and shows through a local LAN server on their WiFi for free. To get Internet access you load the site and pay $8usd using a CC, and then they'll unblock your device from the WAN. Here's the fun part, for the LOLs I tried accessing my various VPNs and Proxies, including Google's, not expecting much. I've known of various tricks involving setting up a VPN or SSH on a DNS port or similar to try and get past web filters, but I've never been bothered enough to go through the trouble. But thinking of that, I decided to give Cloudflare's [1.1.1.1 DNS app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudflare.onedotonedotonedotone) a try, since while its kinda a VPN, it does some things differently since their goal isn't to give you a full VPN on their free plan, just improve your DNS and routing performance. But after waiting a long few seconds it amazingly said connected. At first I thought it was a fluke, thinking its connected but not actually working, but after doing a random Google search I realized it was actually somehow forwarding my packets to the WAN proper. I was ***FREE!*** Though I should dampen expectations a bit. While it's definitely full net access, it's slower than molasses. Whatever route Cf is maneuvering packets through, it's not a fast one. Random access would be at best in the three digit Kbps range, with sustained sometimes spiking into the 1-2Mbps, and latency was measured in Seconds, not Milliseconds. Netflix refused to load the detail pages for movies and shows, and YouTube failed to load videos whether streamed or trying to download. I was able to get a 240p YT video to download with Youtube-DL/yt-dlp though. And just to make sure it wasn't just the plane's connection that was slow, I checked with a seatmate that had paid the $8 for Internet access, and their experience was definitely faster than mine, loading videos with ease. So while you can browse the net, read some articles, and chat on Mastodon and Lemmy, patience is a virtue. But it's way better than nothing, and great way to just check a few things in the air without dropping the $8. YMMV with other airlines, but it's worth a shot. Update: Just did another flight and this time didn't have success. The in-flight Wifi system on this flight was older though, with the old 2D flight tracker, and all the VOD content was broken too, so the Internet was probably just busted.

Emby and Plex can do it automatically depending on the rip, but you can manually search on places like OpenSubtitles.

Also you can OCR the DVD/Bluray subs using SubtitleEdit and then export as SRT. Requires a bit of work and babysitting, but helps for niche stuff or special features.
