To be fair that would help out a ton for the less technical users that aren’t too familiar with needing to browse and click through a ton of different menus just to get to something they can watch for free. This kind of stuff gets challenging for the older non-computing crowd.
And honestly if these remotes are going to have a default “Netflix”, etc. button they may as well have a button for the default Google free channels.
While I personally prefer not to use YTS releases due to their low quality, and can’t seem to find a legitimate YTS link
Anything YIFY/YTS related that exists today is clone, YIFY himself got into legal trouble and left all this stuff behind years ago. Nowadays the main active YTS site that most people use is run by the same group that stole the EZTV site.

Don’t know if this is a “new” domain or something
It’s not a TGx domain, all their official ones are listed at https://proxygalaxy.me/
You’re looking at a mirror site probably displaying torrents from TPB and/or 1337x.
LibreTorrent is the standard if you’re looking for an open source client that works well. You can install from the Google Play Store but from what I’ve read it works better if you install it from elsewhere / sideload the .apk so it can better access the Android storage.
BiglyBT is also open source and available on Android (never used it myself).
There’s also FrostWire, it is open source though it tries to do a bit more than just torrents so it’s not always quite what people are looking for. I remember the main dev used to be active over on Reddit not sure if he ever made it over to the Lemmyverse.
A lot of people do like Flud, not open source or anything like that but it does have its fans.
Seems like more plebbit spam.
That’s interesting, apparently it was mentioned on github but nothing seems to have changed in the end
https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/3784
Haven’t used that software in a long time but maybe there’s an opt-out somewhere during runtime? Although I don’t see why a user needs to be required to opt out of nonsense like this when just writing firmware to a USB disk.
Only ever touched balenaEtcher when some project or distro recommended it. Overall prefer Rufus for this sort of thing when working on Windows.
I’m getting the “moov atom not found” error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn’t at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading.
Either the .mp4 is corrupt, or you need to wait for the torrent itself to finish 100% complete.
You are downloading in sequential mode, and it sounds like these .mp4 files were generated with the moov atom at the end of the file. Which means the file is cut off at the very end (aka corrupt) or the torrent itself just never finished downloading the last pieces of that .mp4 file.
At least that’s how I’m understanding your question… you’re saying the file is at 100% but you’re also saying the torrent isn’t at 100%, to me that sounds like there’s torrent pieces missing to complete the rest of the .mp4 file maybe.
EDIT: Just to add, technically encoding software can write that moov atom at the beginning of the .mp4 file which would avoid this problem entirely but it sounds like these files you’re downloading aren’t encoded that way. In encoding software usually that means “optimizing” the file or making it “web” ready for a web browser to play immediately as it downloads sequentially… I forget what ffmpeg calls it specifically.
EDIT 2: Thinking about it, if you’re desperate to play this file as-is maybe you can run it through ffmpeg to create a new .mp4 file and then play it that way. It’s not a real fix since the original source seems to be broken but you may be able to get something playable at least.
Are there new ones that carry the torch? Do the successors to these release groups have their trackers too?
The vast majority of public torrent indexers do not run their own trackers.
Dead trackers are common with old torrents. Personally I remove all the public trackers and just let DHT take care of that.
But if you prefer to have active public trackers on there then you could
Disagree, haven’t touched PayPal or anything related to PayPal in years without issue.
When PayPal bought Venmo I stopped using them too. And long before that stopped using Ebay back when PayPal/Ebay were tied together.
Just a random guess - Maybe Cloudflare is killing the connection attempts every now and then? IPT does use Cloudflare on their end. I don’t have any specific experience with that but people have mentioned using things like FlareSolverr when using the *arr apps with a site behind Cloudflare.
If it’s not that then maybe it’s just IPT, hopefully someone else with the *arr apps set up with that tracker can give you more insight.
In August, Canoo moved its headquarters from Torrance, Calif., to Justin, Texas — asking 137 of the office’s 194 employees to relocate, while cutting the remaining staff.
Yikes, not great for all those employees that moved their entire lives out to TX just to get laid off. They weren’t even working in TX long enough to qualify for unemployment. Hopefully they were getting paid enough to deal with relocation and maybe have enough saved up to get the hell out of TX after this.
i know the bitcoin atm’s and banks do “know your customer” stuff (basically they id you first)
Depends on your area so make sure to double-check. Many (most?) BTMs only require KYC for larger amounts. e.g. buying $800+ might require KYC, buying less than $800 may only require text message verification. For text messages you can buy a temporary burner phone with cash, or if you’re lucky you can find a SMS service that works with the BTM - just be aware most BTMs don’t work with virtual SMS phone numbers.
Or your other option is maybe buy bitcoin via cash by mail, some crypto trading websites/platforms offer that.
Or going non crypto you could technically just purchase a pre-paid credit card with cash, you’d just need to make sure the card would work with whatever services you are subscribing to.
Cash is still more anonymous than cryptocurrency, I suppose you can ask the services you’re subscribing to if they accept cash by mail (I don’t know of any offhand).
PS - Not sure if your post is breaking rules here, this Lemmy instance is anti-cryptocurrency and does have a rule forbidding crypto shill topics. But it might be okay if you’re just asking a general question.
I’d recommend I2P.
But sure, you can use Tribler if you prefer just don’t set yourself to be an exit node if you’re worried about other users’ torrent traffic going out your own internet connection. Been years since I tinkered with it back then Tribler felt even slower than I2P torrenting and the Tribler torrent client would crash every few days/weeks, I sort of gave up on it after a while but maybe it’s better nowadays.
