What is your EDC (Every Day Carry) for pirating? You can be as specific or as general as you want.
For me, a newb, it is my GP6a.mostly have YMusic (download music/vids) and Tachiyomi(download manga/comics).

SpotiFlyer. It matches songs in a Spotify playlist to songs on YouTube and downloads them. Great if you like Spotify’s curated and niche playlists but don’t like their app or restrictions on playback.
Antenna Pod is great for podcasts but that’s not really piracy.
Why wouldn’t you just use deemix? You can download Spotify playlists and they’ll actually be 320kbps
I was able to find more info on Spotiflyer. There’s not much more to it.
Apparently the domain expired for Deemix and the subreddit dedicated to it links people to the FAQ on the website.
I wasn’t sure if it was similar to programs I’ve used in the past where you need to create a Deezer account and manually convert Spotify playlists with another service.
How is the quality of the music downloads from spotiflyer? Is it as good as 320 kbps mp3? Does sound more convenient than other options.
Yeah I’d say so. 320kbs I think is the default quality level
If it downloads songs from YouTube they are not 320kbs
I thought M4A was better, long term?
I like Vorbis/Ogg, which Spotify uses, because it’s FOSS, but AAC/M4A is just has good, een a bit better at very low bitrates (<=64kbs)
People still use mp3 because, who knows, tradition.
Steam deck is awesome for pretty much all computery things pirated games work well with proton too it also can output to tvs pretty well over usb c if you wanna play some remuxes
iPhone 13 Pro Max with sideloaded YouTube and Spotify. Also have Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid. When in need of offline content, I download from Real Debrid to my VLC folder on Files app and view on VLC.
yt-dlp, tixati, soulseek-qt, jdownloader, and a short list of various ddl/torrent sites in my head. gog-games, nyaa, 1337x, rin, rutor, rutracker, and honestly if what i’m looking for isn’t on any of that, i just assume i don’t need it.
qbittorrent w/ public trackers (1337x torrentgalaxy nyaa) + torrentleech
yt-dlp
slavart for flacs
hakuneko for manga
revanced
mullvad
YT Music ReVanced (for all my music playlists) +
Spotify via Xmanager (I like the lyrics feature)
Qbittorrent (got some audiobooks)
And I pirate paid for and modded apks
I’ve been back in pirating for almost 2 years now yet my setup is really basic, just qbittorrent, 1337x and a VPN (not really necessary, but may become in the near future because… National politics) Ive just bought a server and think of upping my game with the -arr “suite” and jellyfin (which I’ve set up, but I didn’t host anything) I’m just too lazy and it’s too easy to just open 1337x and search for a torrent.
Any recommendations for a place to obtain ebooks?
Libgen, zlibrary, annas-archive
Reddit had an ebook subreddit. I think Calibre libraries or community colibre libraries that had a stick post with some good sources. Never had to use any other site.

Thanks! I’ll add it to my bookmarks!
I don’t know if that counts, but I love Vimusic app and NewPipe. Torrent-csv and Amnis player is a powerful combination on my phone, too. May the power of webtorrent be with you.
Btw, the TorrentCSV dev is the same as the lead dev of Lemmy
Do you also have the bug in vimusic where your whole offline cache randomly disappears?
Uh no. There is one like that? Bummer.
Well I seem to be the only one having it then. Propably some samsung optimizations that clears the cache.
