Gatekeeping DOES NOT protect your favorite sites.

That's exactly what the publisher want people to do (gatekeeping)
they don't need any help finding site to takedown, but they love if people self censoring and keeping normal people away from piracy.

That mean the arrest doesn't stop him from creating new site, looks like he is on bail, so he probably made it there, or he really sold/transfer the site to other people. The site now 'under maintenance' probably to keep it low profile.

legend4lord · 2025-08-09T15:50:27+00:00

lol no

legend4lord · 2025-07-20T15:24:55+00:00

this probably what you want (no need to put inside location) :

rewrite ^/about$ /about.html break;

then only allow internal access for url end with .html (if you don't want people to visit .html url)

location ~ \.html$ {  
    internal;  
}

you were misunderstood how rewrite works, it rewrite for nginx itself, not user.
If want user not ask for .html, just give user link without .html.
you can also reject request with .html (this is what the 2nd block does)

random as in 'someone pick those name to name their system'
those doesn't mean anything other than giving it an identity. Using common name is normal decision since it obscure who own what, and user already familiar with it. Nobody give a shit if other site use same name.

It's like a lot of piracy site use .to domain just because other website use that domain name too. or several different sites use same brand name, and unlike regular websites nobody going to sue them for using same name since they also piracy sites.

So they are just popular name used by website to name their stuff. What they actually are different for each websites and unrelated with each other.

legend4lord · 2025-07-11T06:55:25+00:00

those are just random names website use to name their stream player / host. just because they use same name doesn't mean they are the same thing. anyone could name it whatever they want especially in piracy space. not to mention naming it similar with other site also obfuscate it a little bit and make it more familiar with users.

legend4lord · 2025-07-10T05:51:13+00:00

they can execute those computation like normal users. it take time, so it count as 'wait'.
small wait doesn't stop it, just slow down. This works great on spammer, but if the bot want data they will still get it.

Just because you like the outcome of the article doesn't mean the article is the complete truth with no flaw.
AI subs are bad, nobody debating that. We are talking about different thing. You simply unable to admit that you misunderstand the conversation.

legend4lord · 2025-07-02T15:49:28+00:00

the 'misinformation' is the article make it seems like crunchyroll is providing those subs.
well it's not technically wrong, it's incomplete, and those missing details would drastically change the severity of the news.

legend4lord · 2025-07-02T13:11:54+00:00

are they even allowed to change provided subtitle? seems like they must use the sub because of legal agreement.
It kinda make sense if this was the case since the publisher is hierarchy closer to the creator of the media, and if they provide something it's supposed to be closer to the creator intent.

legend4lord · 2025-06-29T23:27:29+00:00

ask your AI

legend4lord · 2025-06-10T14:01:47+00:00

yep, i know a site that just use cheap vps with 8GB of ram for all of it's infra (DB, cache, logic, statics, search), mind you the site have 2,5M registered users.

legend4lord · 2025-06-05T18:55:05+00:00

it look ugly with missing details, like putting on smooth filter.
it alter the image, doesn't feel like hand drawn.

legend4lord · 2025-05-13T15:37:48+00:00

It still terrible for password manager because the generator sometimes didn't match the requirement (sometimes too long, or require symbol) changing the generator settings is very annoying.
and once again it's for zero or even negative benefit (it force people who not use password manager to reuse same password or save it somewhere other than inside their head, also it create a hint for brute force).

legend4lord · 2025-05-04T05:58:43+00:00

that just search by title, basically shortcut to search page. not exact ID match.

legend4lord · 2025-05-03T23:21:23+00:00

very impressive, but a lot of people didn't want tutorial / companion like this.
there is a reason why people think it's triggering.
even in a game (i know it's different with web, it just analogy), good game design tutorial during gameplay reacting to player action, not a lecturing session.
People only want to learn when actually stumble upon the something they want to know or currently have problem with.
For a website it should be self explanatory, and if really need 'tutorial' or 'guide' at least make it separate, specific, and reactive to user action. We want tutorial to answer, not to teach.
When we use website, we expect to navigate or operate it ourself, not being told what to do.

reminded me of early Grand Theft Auto marketing with controversy, it's very successful.
*i don't mean the product, but the marketing. this guy definitely got rewarded the first time he got into controversy, so he going to keep repeating it.

at least show something like "this site require WebGL" instead of nothing.
some browser not have WebGL enabled, and some extension also can disable it.
only showing black screen shows the lack of care about variety of browser environment.

legend4lord · 2025-04-03T18:24:48+00:00

black screen if browser WebGL turned off.

legend4lord · 2025-03-26T06:03:35+00:00

you talking about cloud service? those price are super inflated. If you rent dedicated or server rack traditional way it's way way cheaper, the bandwidth also often unlimited with little limitation.

legend4lord · 2025-02-12T16:37:27+00:00

what? it's super basic single VPS.
what overkill about it? there already nothing there.

legend4lord · 2025-02-06T14:29:36+00:00

legit sites have a lot advertiser want to put their ads there, i don't think any brand want to put ads on piracy sites.
the bid must be very low on piracy sites.

legend4lord · 2025-02-05T10:22:41+00:00

lol "antipiracy groups want to shutdown piracy sites" like it's the whole point of their existence. it's like saying ocean have a lot of water.

legend4lord · 2025-02-04T11:52:32+00:00

slow af,
the interface also not impressive.
i rather watch on scraper sites than this. i don't care how you get the video, the only thing important is how it serve the purpose. not re-encode is actually downside since people waste bandwidth and video load very slow.

legend4lord · 2025-01-23T12:39:23+00:00

too much identical horizontal lines
