you don't have to decode anything.. just throw it in here :

For those of you missing rarbg, infinity has encoded it and released it on torrentgalaxy.

Guardians.Of.The.Galaxy.Vol.3.2023.1080p.WEBRip.x265-INFINITY

Would you mind explaining to me why i would want to do this? It's a genuine question.. i'm still learning Lemmy but do run my own instance just for my account.

Whilst it's not as good a conversion as the one you posted, there's a violentmonkey script that does a pretty good job too

Enjoy, infinity seems to be the closest we have to rarbg quality / size for x265 at the moment.. although they took a small break which worried a few people :)

i want this for my personal instance.....

you either get invited by someone you know or you build your reputation on a different private tracker and gain access to their invite forum where BTN have an official invite thread.

Usenet can yes.. absolutely.. but likely only for the text groups.. for binary newsgroups you're going to have to pay and you'll need to do your research to find one that's (ideally) not a highwinds backed supplier as they automate DMCA takedowns.

It's a 128gb image. I've written it to an SSD and just plug it in to my usff pc and boot off it.

I found out about it from this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxehAHC5WzM

Wow.. i remember 7th Guest and Myst.. i never had a PC powerful enough for myst and i was too young to really figure out how to play 7th guest...i do vaguely remember something about walking up some grand stair case in it though.. time to hit up gog and try it again :)

and now i've ordered the recoil pack.. this better not be like all my other hobbies and be forgotten in a month!

Strange, and apologies my suggestion didn't work for you.. I play everything through Kodi and i've not had any issues with their releases... I'd be interested to know if you've had problems with RARBG-X265 releases?

It's a discussion.. calm down.. It's also a very valid way to access selfhosted systems.

i think there are differences, but i don't know what.. infinity did post their encoding settings int he early releases but then said that they would be the same moving forward and stopped.. so i guess it's just a matter of comparing a rarbg release and an infinity

yeah you don't exactly understand what usenet is i don't think... please hold whilst i duck to avoid all the abuse i feel is now coming my way..

Not a fan personally..

how many do you want? I only use 1 and have 4 networks with multiple subnet routers in failover in each network.

that all depends on your college and how much your IT admins have locked down their connection.. Usenet will work on any connection.. unless it's being actively blocked.

Fair enough.

No word on what actually happened but it had just been July 4th.. maybe they were just drunk for a few days :) .

i go so far the other way with this personally.. I actually have a seperate LXC for each docker container and a lot of the time i use docker run instead of docker-compose..

I've still not had anyone explain to me why compose is better than a single command line..

Yes they work for Pc's with modern monitors.

Can i ask what sort of size you're getting with your settings?

That's great.. thank you... I've got it running but it's not recognising my home instance right now.

I use your script and it's gotten me going just fine, but i do worry what i'll do if you stop supporting the script... by that point i'll hopefully have a lot of history built up and i'd be gutted to lose it at that point.
