I wish pirating subs was easier! That would be my second most if true

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah it’s hard to find them for Asian stuff particularly

Classified Docs to post on my Warthunder Account so I can win a debate.

Educational content. I'll get udemy or pluralsite content if I'm studying a topic. It has helped me earn certs and stay informed on different tech.

Audiobooks! I buy the books but I'm too lazy to read them.

[-] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Where’s a good place to find them? I was going to go back to Usenet for lack of other options, but need to look at what’s actually getting posted.

Myanonamouse is the best place for audiobooks IMO.

Audio Books Bay (ABB) is good too.

[-] Kissaki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

If you buy the book but listen to it as an audiobook, wouldn't buying the audiobook in the first place be an option then?

Never had luck finding anywhere that has .stl's. Any hints on where to look?

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

That’s 3d printing files right? Where can you pirate them and what wouldn’t be on thingiverse?

There's a ton of commercial/locked-behind-patreon stuff, usually around things like RPG scenery or figures and such.

Like, an immense library of shit that's not free.

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah, like 40k stuff? Where do you find this stuff? I have access to unlimited free PLA

[-] ingeanus@ttrpg.network 12 points 1 week ago

Check out kemono.su / kemono.party. They're a patreon(among other subscription service) archive site that makes use of crowdsourced keys. It'll initially look like 110% porn, but you can often find other patreons there if you search those specifically, such as those for 3d printing stls. It can sometimes be hit or miss whether they properly archive downloads, but they're usually a worthwhile option.

Depending on your political views you could download open-source files for guns in case they get taken down

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

That's not really piracy, is it? I'd say it's more like censorship circumvention.

Scientific papers

[-] NewOldGuard@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Scientific papers, I love doing research and a university .edu address doesn’t last forever. Not a damn chance I’m paying for those journals lol, shoutout scihub

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

True! Wish there was one for humanities :/

Apps that have what I think are unfair payment structures.

No, I'm not paying a > hundred dollar subscription for your app with server-side features I didn't ask for.

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

Great point! I did this with Adobe until I switched to Linux

Printer ink. I got a cheap canon printer and drilled holes in the ink cartridges so I can refill them using generic ink for 1/1000th the cost of what the printer companies charge.

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Could you link how? That’s so cool

[-] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Sure thing, this outlines how to modify the ink carts: https://www.wikihow.com/Refill-Canon-Cartridges

And you can buy bulk printer ink for around $10 for all 3 colors+black on sites like amazon or ebay.

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Thanks! That's an awesome deal

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Boardgames.

I am still to actually print them. But I have the files.

RPG books. These I actually have them printed.

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

Interesting. How much do you spend to print a typical core rulebook of say, the coastal magician type?

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

B&w around 2-3 cents/page, depends on the amount of ink coverage.

Then binding is free where I do it, and shipping cost. Maybe 5-10€ depending number of pages. I did like a bunch of books at once to reduce shipping.

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

That’s really cool actually

Might be controversial, but I pirate OnlyFans content (porn). I ain't payin a monthly subscription for that shit. Telegram is pretty great for that.

[-] furycd001@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Could you share a bit more about how you use telegram for that purpose? I'd like to learn more. Thanks. I've never used telegram before btw....

Comics (though it probably falls into 'basic media'), well over 1TB at this point either way.

[-] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 4 points 1 week ago

I don't think I'd like to admit to anything. But during my research, I found large compilations of leaked passwords, sheet music for not so popular music instruments, vintage software and abandonware...

[-] Honse@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Can you explain pirating of unraid licenses? I have already paid for one but didn't know this was possible
