red irc is full of... let's say non-whites edition
>Not sure what private trackers are all about? A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.
Remember the following: >READ THE OP BEFORE MAKING A FUCKING QUESTION YOU RETARDED FAGGOT >It doesn't matter if you use the same username in different trackers, the staff still share your IP with each other. >Staff is reading, being /marked/ is not a meme, and even if it is, it isn't. >Don't ask for invites, it's private for a reason. >If starting out you should interview for RED, rank to Torrent Master, wait on account age, and get invites from there. THAT'S IT THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
>>108957342 I plan to take the MAM interview next time they open, what they ask for btw? I suppose it's just the rules and your wiliness to contribute. Do they have any advantage over shadow libs like anna's and libgen?
>>108957629 They just ask the rules, what a torrent is, what being connectable means, stuff like that. It's very straightforward. MAM is mostly audiobooks but they have some books not on annas. A proper piracy strat involves having a bunch of solid sources to search, MAM fits into that.
I just go to torrent trackers to download shit. I don't care about the rules for posting in comments, forum, shoutboxes, IRC, because I never fucking do that unless it's a comment relevant to a torrent.
Does anybody know if there are trackers with high quality cybersec content (besides what you can find on hide01.ir)? I've heard some things about thegeeks, but not really sure.
>>108957198 >His main page >>https://web.archive.org/web/20050509011432/http://www.shirky.com/ >What was in that page is enough for this subject imo. >...maybe something like Plato's Republic will more suiting than anything. I will look into both of those, thank you!
>For people to have a drive to contribute to something they need an expected a return, in an anonymous board you're just shooting into the void, in a forum with identity and a karma system that rewards good contribution and punishes bad one, you can ensure good quality. I would argue that the reward for contributing in an imageboard is the expectation/hope that other people will reply/opiniate/contribute to the thread. This is more apparent on the image/video sharing boards such as /c/ or /wsg/. You post because you want others to post as well. But it also applies to discussion boards such as /g/. I posted my initial reply to the article both as a way to articulate my thoughts, but also hoping others would reply with their own opinions. Both of these things happened.
Of course, not everyone will contribute. In any online community, most people will be lurkers. I don't know what can be done about it. And you are right that imageboards were better when the internet was smaller, but the same could be said of just about any online community. As the article pointed out, scale tends to lower the quality of the conversation.
I also agree that filters are necessary. Due to the nature of imageboards not requiring an account to post, this is trickier but not impossible. 4chan's most notorious filter is its users. You will be insulted if you post shit. Or even if you just post something someone dislikes. Both of those serve as an incentive to post better stuff, and not care about what others think when you know you're posting good stuff. Good moderation is still necessary, of course, but this filter is also quite effective.
>>108957331 >>108957599 I've also grew more resilient to insults after 4chan. I used to feel really bad when someone said something mean to me, either IRL or online. Thanks to my time here, I can deal much better with insults and harsh words both IRL and online.
>What I was describing is vastly different from what reddit, slashdot, and the like became. NTA, but I get what you mean. I also think both imageboards and persistent identities have their place in online discussion. One can provide what the other often does not, or by design can not. I don't think either is the end-all, be-all of online communities.
That being said, I also think both of them can become shit with bad moderation. I disagree channers are, by themselves, a bad userbase. They can, and often do, post shit. But they also often post brutally honest words that you don't see elsewhere. They contribute with OC and share good information. Basically every general is a collection of OC and good links sourced from the users themselves. There is still a lot of shit, but for me personally, using filters and ignoring/reporting bad posts is enough to make imageboards worth it. I understand if you disagree, however.
While most altchans don't see much activity, there are a few which I personally like. I like smug loli's /a/ board in specific, because I rarely watch new anime eps as soon as they air, to threads on 4chan's /a/ are dead by the time I get to watch them. While there, the threads tend the persist while the show is still airing, while also have other threads encouraging users to create OC, such as the drawing/writing threads. Chans can be good, but it requires both a community and moderation effort.
how cucked do you have to be to talk about trackers on discord while the company is constantly talking about how they want every user's government ID in the name of "safety"
>>108960565 i haven't looked at any places yet but i would prefer something affordable. since you guys aren't particularly trustworthy I'm not leaving any contact details but if you're actually on kg I asked the same thing on their forums under the event announcement. shoot me a message there.
hypo why do you keep fucking importing huge ass lists from letterboxd onto ptp that are so indiscriminate about their selection. On your most recent one, half of those movies aren't coming of age movies and doesn't fit the "teenage wasteland" theme you shit for brains
Within the last 5 years the funniest tracker related thing to me has been fucking EMP recruiting from MAM (a basically entry level and open tracker where you can't even swear)
>>108962577 For me it was the collapse of BLU, vinnie getting driven out, and the coup attempt all at once. Top tier drama with everything getting publicly exposed.
>>108961818 Oh yeah, because the 50th tech support thread this week, or yet another windows sux/linux sux thread is definitely the peak of quality discussion. Fuck off, retard.
>>108963085 <ilikepeaches> then it seems the torrent mods should convene and establish one policy <tinyrick> please link me to a specific example otherwise you are just speaking in hypotheticals <tinyrick> feel free to unicast me <ilikepeaches> jody: ISOs were grandfathered to avoid a trump fest.

reminds me of my buddy who killed himself 10 years ago, last thing we did was watch rick and morty before I had to travel back home, last time I saw him
when I watch it now I think he'd still like it and I'm sad he's missing out, try not to kill yourself /ptg/, always here if someone needs to unicast
>>108963692 You reek of the Jewish spirit. Small town attitudes are good. Beat it you cosmopolitan deracinated postmodern Jew. KG MEETUP IN BRUSSELS HYPE
>>108963967 typical american retardation if you don't bomb people in the middle east and spend 850 billion dollars a year to kill people, somehow you are not a real country
>>108963891 if i want to go somewhere i can just get on a train while you have to go to the airport and get your anal cavities searched by TSA because you answered a question 0.2 seconds too late.
america is such a backwards country i can't even...
>>108964092 Or you can just drive? Hell I would have rather the TSA gave me a bit of assplay than destroy my electronics the way they did but whatever. No love for them or the pedophiles that run my country and are friends with the pedophiles that run your country. I left that place for a reason.
Have any of you ripped your own vinyl to RED? My neon grind is over but I put up a vinyl request I don't think is gunna get filled and kinda wanna do it myself for fun. Kinda seems like a pain in the arse though.
>>108967860 from what I've looked into, it gets expensive on the higher end if you're looking to properly record them (table > receiver > software, plus amp somewhere), and even the lazy solution of high end USB tables is like 300-500USD minimum plus (needle) tip and nobody has compared those "cheap" high end USB tables either, since this shit's already super niche cursed format
hey anons, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for getting an invite to IPT. i can provide proof that I seed and upload constantly on another private tracker if necessary
>>108968967 Just buy one on eBay. It's the path of least resistance, cheaper than buying one officially, doesn't require yourself to get involved with invite selling forums which you should just avoid and they honestly don't give a shit. Just don't brag about it on their comments, forums, or IRC.
>>108969361 If you're gonna do it feel free. Maybe one day I'll buy a separate IPT account I use to invite randos from here that isn't linked to the one I actually use.
>>108969383 It's not worth moralfagging and getting emotionally invested in tracker drama. From our perspective that stuff is simply entertainment. IPT was clearly in the wrong. But so were the protagonists of so many great movies. There are good and useful things about being in IPT as well. Which other tracker allows you to browse with TOR? I also used it in my cross seeding strategies for PTP and HDB to build up my buffer.
>>108969631 As far as I know they just ddosed BTN. They were scraping peers from BTN and their tracker was serving them to IPT swarms. BTN objected so IPT ddosed them.
>>108967860 Yes and it's pretty fun. Not too costly either. I think you can do it (and do it right) for ~150-200€. Just get literally any old direct drive turntable (you could find deals as low as 40€), a modern cartrige for ~40-50€ (AT-VM95E), the oehlbach phone preamp pro (35€ used) and a 24/192 audio interface (also ~50€) used.
>>108969936 Haha well there was a situation like that where I was the one who noticed it and reported it to the tracker admins. The tracker is known for being very locked down and rarely recruiting, also forcing exclusivity rules for uploads. A literal pajeet made a "private tracker" that anybody could sign up to where he begged for donations and simply scraped all the torrents/peers from the elite tracker. Everything was indexed on Google. Took a couple weeks of me staying on the asses of the admins about it for them to actually do something about it and cut off the jeet. They didn't seem to care very much.
>>108970005 I don't think that's entirely true. If you're spending that kind of money you will definitely have better ways of cleaning records for example. Having as little crackle/pops as possible beats trying to clean it up in post with software. The more you spend on it the more you get into diminishing returns, as PBTHAL accurately calls it. But you still need to put the effort in to get a good result.
>>108970743 >I'd totally support the tranny mission if it was actually a good client it was but qbit took all the development attention after utorrent became a botnet and now transmission is WAY behind.
>>108971234 >annas-archive lol who cares that's little more than a front to feed training data to AI companies, what any of us normies do has little effect on what will happen to it
>>108972552 And yet in your original seethepost they already knew where to get it kek >>108971234 >noooooooo we can't let NORMIES know about a free and open book piracy site with over a million daily unique visitors noooooooooo
>>108972573 >we can't let NORMIES know this is exactly the point. Next they wanna know how to pirate everything else and the unwashed masses will flood our sacret private trackers and their unsatiable lust for the sloppiest of capeshit. the sloppier the better.. before you know they'll find out about usenet and they'll wanna know how to get it for free, resulting in less accounts for us. slippery slope is what I'm saying, we need vigilance.
Why is there no private tracker which takes all the AA torrents, but makes them private (just add the private flag and add some random string in the description so the infohash is completely random, but with the exact same files and file hashes) to keep the contents alive? It's around 1.1PB, there are many small trackers with way greater torrent total size than that. The point is to keep the content seeded with way more seeders in a private setting, but protect them from AI companies. The books themselves are way more valuable than what AI you can make from them.
>>108972811 >because they already know one site, we must handhold them on how to get usenet accounts and get into private trackers too. hell, we even need to open them right up to anyone to register. GATEKEEPING IS EVIL!!!!
>>108972866 The method for actually getting into private trackers is gatekeeping in and of itself, thankfully. All the information is here in this thread but you need to be a very specific type of person to actually act upon it.
Anyone else have issues logging into RED? It keeps telling me that my browser is outdated even though I have the latest version of firefox. Has anyone encountered this or perhaps know how to fix this?
Conspiracy theory: private trackers are actively maintained and protected by fbi, mossad and jewish elites. Think for a second, goddamn: how else they could stay out of trouble for years? Cabal comes from Kabbalah, and HDBits is just a mirror of HeBits. We are being tracked and we have no escape out of it. You think you are done if you got globaled or left voluntarily? Big mistake. We will be forever slaves of the jews and their connections. Those who sat with Epstein at a table are dowloading right now their favorite shows.
Prove me wrong, I dare you
P.S if you never hear from me again, you should know smth bad happened
>>108973437 HebrewBits -> HeBits, trackers for jews. You can join only if you're a jew and you have lived in israel. I'm pretty sure I saw some reddit posts where (ex-)mods were complaining about trying to join it without fully doxing themselves.
Remember when MusicalMind spent all of the 2020 guilt tripping ordinary whites with BLM George Floyd shit only to reveal in a post that was supposed to sound sentimental that his rich South African kike ass had black indentured servants when he was a kid?
>>>>>>> HOW TO FAKE EAC CHECKSUM (REVISED) <<<<<<<
1. Log must have checksum line before debugging. This is usually final line of log, and looks like ==== Log checksum .... ====. If the log does not have checksum line, copy it from a different log. The exact format of the line is important because EAC will error before generating checksum otherwise. Make sure that the number of checksum characters and line format is identical! 2. Start debugger (OllyDBG works) and drag EAC into it. You will also need to set arguments to be like normal log checking 3. Press CTRL-G then type in 0x401DEF. Verify this address is highlighted in code pane 4. Press F2 to set breakpoint 5. Press run button 6. Now look at ECX register. Click in dump, then CTRL-G and type either "ecx" or value of ECX. 7. You can now see and copy correct checksum from dump into log 8. Test with valid checklog, to verify it is correct
>>108974806 >>108976027 EU member means US has full reign over it retard. Also servers were moved overseas decades ago once the authorities started raiding servers there.
>>108976703 >EU member means US has full reign over it retard. NA education, fucking hilarious that you think relations matter in current year or that international law is real
>>108974806 Most of the trackers and their websites are hosted in the Netherlands or even on fucking Hetzner VPSes. Nobody cares about cabal trackers, or even money laundering operations like TorrentLeech and IPT which make tens of thousands a year (and that's a very conservative estimate). They can pull the plug on these within weeks if not days if they'd give a shit.
>>108973326 proton is a massive cunnylicker and I sincerely doubt he's in the Israeli mafia.
>>108977076 >They can pull the plug on these within weeks if not days if they'd give a shit. it doesn't matter where it's hosted, it matters where the site operaters are. it's trivial to move host from data center to data center.
>>108976683 isn't the checksum just like a md5 hash of the log contents or something? wouldn't it be trivial to determine how it's generated and fake it yourself and it's really only there to stop noobs from removing their home folder username from the logs or something
>>108977076 That's not exactly how it works. The tracker can be hosted anywhere. A shit VPS isn't going to be able to handle the load of a decent tracker. Those are just reverse proxies. Haven't you noticed the 502 errors when the trackers go down? Usually the proxy is fine but the actual tracker shit the bed. This is why when what.cd was the target of a raid they got nothing out of it.
>>108977277 Already has been done but consider it obsolete. Not going to give you any hints as to why. Better to let retards like >>108976683 lure you to your eventual ruin.
I know my friend's brother is in ptp but it's gonna be so cringe and awkward if I have to beg him and be like "look I have TM I'm legit" and I also won't be /pure/
what is PTP's usercap at vs current members? is it nearly full too?
>>108957342 >If starting out you should interview for RED, rank to Torrent Master, wait on account age, and get invites from there. THAT'S IT THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
>>108977686 This is why you don't grind before you have the account age. Requirements may change at any moment or recruitment might stop completely. You never know.
>>108973326 Private trackers stay around because they have relatively decent Opsec and are mostly miniscule compared to other websites. Most of the cabal and cabal adjacent sites have beetween 15 and 30k users which is literally nothing. The bad guys go after the streaming sites with hundreds of millions of monthly users before they go after fringe nerd communities with 15-30k people max.
>>108983172 They've changed the way they operate a lot. They used to throw the book at Joe Shmoe in the 2000s for pirating 10 Evanescence songs. Now they don't do that aside from certain porn companies like the Blacked company which I've written about in this thread before. The Blacked company is vicious. They still do go after the source it's just that the scale is much greater than back then. Also didn't they get one of the guys who was ripping Amazon and Netflix a few years ago? He was internal to one of the cabal. I think the rippers and distributors have gotten much better with their Opsec.
>>108982982 >Private trackers stay around because they have relatively decent Opsec that's 100% completely false >cabal that thing that doesn't exist? and is just a bunch of siteops crying about users on discord and irc? lmao. same cabal that has been completely decimated for over 20 years? must be because of their brilliant "opsec".
>>108983213 >They've changed the way they operate a lot. nope. that's just schizophrenia. i've been using these trash trackers for decades. they are all the same. some are run by the same people but use different name, and relying heavily on sceners to race wares from private ftp servers using bots. It's always amusing watching the lamest lamers on the internet think they're at the top of the food chain in the piracy world accessing a pajeet tracker, that has to pay sceners for wares. lmao.
>Increase user cap by 1000 >put recruitment thread back up why is that so blasphemous for cabalniggers to do. What do they gain by enforcing a user cap in the first place
>>108984323 Huh that isn't too bad but also isn't that easy. Do you by chance know what the application is like? I've never done one of those and I'm kind of a neon.
