PSA: Free Software

Reading this may really save your time, privacy, and money! Reblog or share to spread awareness!

Folks often use software that’s expensive and sometimes even inferior because they don’t know there are alternatives. So to those unfamiliar: basically, free and open-source (FOSS) or "libre" software is free to use and anyone can access the original code to make their own version or work on fixing problems.

That does not mean anyone can randomly add a virus and give it to everyone—any respectable libre project has checks in place to make sure changes to the official version are good! Libre software is typically developed by communities who really care about the quality of the software as a goal in itself.

There are libre alternatives to many well-known programs that do everything an average user needs (find out more under the cut!) for free with no DRM, license keys, or subscriptions.

Using libre software when possible is an easy way to fight against and free yourself from corporate greed while actually being more convenient in many cases! If you need an app to do something, perhaps try searching online for things like:

foss [whatever it is]

libre [whatever it is]

open source [whatever it is]

Feel free to recommend more libre software in the tags, replies, comments, or whatever you freaks like to do!

Some Libre Software I Personally Enjoy…

LibreOffice

LibreOffice is an office suite, much like Microsoft Office. It includes equivalents for apps like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, which can view and edit files created for those apps.

I can't say I've used it much myself yet. I do not personally like using office software except when I have to for school.

OpenShot

OpenShot Video Editor is, as the name suggests, a video editing program. It has industry-standard features like splicing, layering, transitions, and greenscreen.

I've only made one video with it so far, but I'm already very happy with it. I had already paid for a video editor (Cyberlink PowerDirector Pro), but I needed to reinstall it and I didn't remember how. Out of desperation, I searched up "FOSS video editor" and I'm so glad I did. There's no launcher, there's no promotion of other apps and asset packs—it's just a video editor with a normal installer.

GIMP

GNU Image Manipulation Program is an image editor, much like Photoshop. Originally created for Linux but also available for Windows and MacOS, it provides plenty of functionality for editing images. It is a bit unintuitive to learn at first, though.

I've used it to create and modify images for years, including logos, really bad traceover art, and Minecraft textures. It doesn't have certain advanced tech like AI paint-in, but it has served my purposes well and it might just work for yours!

(Be sure to go to Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Colors. I have no idea why that's not enabled by default.)

Audacity

Audacity is an audio editing program. It can record, load, splice, and layer audio files and apply effects to them.

Audacity is another program I've used for a long time. It is not designed to compose music, but it is great for podcasts, simple edits, and loading legacy MS Paint to hear cool noises.

7-Zip

7-Zip is a file manager and archive tool. It supports many archive types including ZIP, RAR, TAR, and its own format, 7Z. It can view and modify the contents of archives, encrypt and decrypt archives, and all that good stuff.

Personally, I use 7-Zip to look inside JAR files for Minecraft reasons. I must admit that its UI is ugly.

Firefox

Firefox is an internet browser, much like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari. While browsers are free, many of them include tracking or other anti-consumer practices. For example, Google plans to release an update to Chromium (the base that most browsers are built from these days) that makes ad blockers less effective by removing the APIs they currently rely on.

Aside from fighting monopolies, benefits include: support for animated themes (the one in the picture is Purple Night Theme), good ad blockers forever, an (albeit hidden) compact UI option (available on about:config), and a cute fox icon.

uBlock Origin

As far as I know, uBlock Origin is one of the best ad blockers there is.

I was on a sketchy website with my brother, and he was using Opera GX's ad blocker. Much of the time when he clicked on anything, it would take us to a random sponsored page. I suggested that he try uBlock Origin, and with uBlock Origin, that didn't happen anymore.

Linux

Linux is a kernel, but the term is often used to refer to operating systems (much like Windows or MacOS) built on it. There are many different Linux-based operating systems (or "distros") to choose from, but apps made for Linux usually work on most popular distros. You can also use many normally Windows-only apps on Linux through compatibility layers like WINE.

I don't have all four of these, so the images are from Wikipedia. I tried to show a variety of Linux distros made for different kinds of users.

If you want to replace your operating system, I recommend being very careful because you can end up breaking things. Many computer manufacturers don't care about supporting Linux, meaning that things may not work (Nvidia graphic cards notoriously have issues on Linux, for example).

Personally, I tried installing Pop!_OS on a laptop, and the sound output mysteriously doesn't work. I may try switching to Arch Linux, since it is extremely customizable and I might be able to experiment until I find a configuration where the audio works.

Many Linux distros offer "Live USB" functionality, which works as both a demo and an installer. You should thoroughly test your distro on a Live USB session before you actually install it to be absolutely sure that everything works. Even if it seems fine, you should probably look into dual-booting with your existing operating system, just in case you need it for some reason.

Happy computering!

if you don’t want to get into detail about this i completely understand but i was wondering how you’ve been downloading videos, specifically ones like the v**ps one because i was doing everything i could to try to rip it and i couldn’t

so ngl that day was an extremely protracted process for me and it involved a lot of, like SO MUCH, googling but i will try and write what i remember - HUGE DISCLAIMER i’m seriously really really really really IT deficient and i honestly just managed to fumble my way into succeeding this one time only, i understood about 2% of what i was doing. the power of fall out boy forever and being down woeful for patrick

ok so *huddles in closer together* 

btw i don't have access to the msg video anymore since i only had a week lol so any examples here are from the boz one !!!

at first i tried to just use my usual browser extension (video downloadhelper) to try and rip the stream however it's drm protected so it just gave me a huge file that only had like glitchy static and no audio, which means it's encrypted, and you need a decryption key

you need a cdm (content decryption module) to get a decryption key. i actually got really far with this and managed to get one using a virtual android phone before realising i didn't have to DO ALL THAT and can just use cdrm-project.com for this. i don't wanna dwell on it

so on the cdrm-project page, for this task you only need the PSSH and the license url.

step 1: turn off your adblock first lol i learned this the hard way. also yes you may sing this to the tune of run dry

step 2: to get the PSSH - go to the video page and play a little bit of it -> right click -> inspect -> in the "filter urls" search type "m3u8" -> look for the one that's like "widevine_cmaf_avc.m3u8" since i believe this will be the master file -> right click it -> copy value -> copy url

open command prompt -> type "curl" then paste the url, press enter -> the string of stuff beginning with AAAA is the PSSH, copy it

step 3: to get the license url - filter urls for "wide" -> this was the correct one

right click this -> copy value -> copy url

step 4: paste the PSSH and the license url into the appropriate boxes on cdrm-project and it will give you the decryption key KEEP IT AROUND

step 5: i downloaded n_m3u8DL-RE and mp4decrypt (bento4) -> unzip both -> place mp4decrypt in the same folder as n_m3u8DL-RE

step 6: open command prompt -> first place yourself in the right directory as where n_m3u8DL-RE folder is (copy address in file explorer -> type "cd" in command prompt -> paste address, press enter)

step 7: now use this command in command prompt: N_m3u8DL-RE -M format=mp4 --key [use the key gotten from the cdrm-project page] [use the master .m3u8 url]

it will show you a bunch of options for selecting the resolution you want, press enter and it'll start working

step 8: it'll take a minute so wait until it says DONE -> find the completed video file in the same folder as n_m3u8DL-RE !!

i will tell you something hilarious i discovered: i think the key works for all the videos currently up on the site. its why the boz one was a fucking breeze to get after all that for the msg one LMAOOOO and i even downloaded a couple random other things

for other videos like dvd rips i do those using handbrake which is easy and painless frolicking in a field in comparison💀

[booasaur]

how are you downloading Ici tout commence?

From the official site!

First, I use a VPN to get a French IP (or Belgian--I'm not sure which they accept, I just know these two work) so I can access the network's streaming site, TF1+. You should be able to sign up for a free account without issue. This is the page for the season 4 eps:

https://www.tf1.fr/tf1/ici-tout-commence/videos/saison-4

Apparently there are always two eps in advance available for the premium subscribers but I'm not caught up plus I think it'd be a little harder to sign up for an actual paid account so I probably won't be able to do that.

So normally I would use youtube-dl/yt-dlp to download the eps but that won't work here, or at least not without some extra steps, because these are DRMed. This is where it gets a little tricky and the whole process isn't super well documented both because it changes a lot and it makes more sense to teach people to learn how to do it than how to do it and also because, well, the more these methods are spread, the more networks change things up and make things harder.

This thread can help you get started: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/412113-MYTF1-Help-needed-New-DRM-system-can-t-download

The whole forum is quite useful and I've only had to post for help a couple of times, mostly I just search my issue and read through.

That provided command in the second post, that's something to be used in your command line, on Windows in Start you can open that by typing in cmd or PowerShell or just google what you'll need for your computer.

These are the things you'll need to get to run the command:

N_m3u8DL-RE is a tool you can google and download, and also ffmpeg and mp4decrypt. You'll want them in the same folder for convenience. (I think you might need to install python too? If it says you do, then go ahead, lol.)

The way to get the key, this is the most gatekept part, probably. The various streamers out there use different methods of encryption and increasing security levels, and if you read up on it, you'll see stuff about kid and pssh and cdm and L3, it can be overwhelming, but in this case, the things you need are relatively easily accessible.

I'll tell you how to get the pssh and the license URL and you'll be able to use those to get the key. There are several tools you can use them on, one is public and easy, one is private but still easy-ish, and one is pretty complex and not a route I've gone down myself yet (it's the pinned thread in that particular forum). I don't want to link any of them myself, but I'll link to a thread that mentions the easy public one. It does go down at times which is why the hardcore people recommend that last method.

First, before you click on an ep, open up your browser's Developer Tools, usually Ctrl+Shift+i will do the trick. Go over to your Network tab, this shows all the requests your browser makes when you go to a site.

Then click on the episode in the actual browser. You'll see a flood of requests in the Network tab, filter on mpd.

Select the mpd result and the details for it show on the side, click on Preview. Scroll down until you see <!-- Widevine -->. A couple of lines below it, you'll see something like <cenc:pssh>AAA[a bunch of characters]</cenc:pssh>

Grab that whoooole part that starts with AAA, that's the pssh. Go to the Headers detail tab while you're there and grab the Request URL, this is the mpd link we're going to use later.

Now to get the license. Usually you can filter in your Devtools Network tab on license or, in this case, widevine. Since we're already on the Headers detail tab, grab this Request URL now, it should start with https://widevine-proxy-m.prod.p.tf1.fr/proxy?

Now go back to that easy public tool linked in that thread I linked, lol, and just fill in the PSSH and the License. Hit Send and you get a list of three keys at the bottom. I've always gone for the one in the middle and not bothered with all three, but you can try them all.

So at this point, you should be able to fully create and use the command in the first forum link above. If you read the documentation for N_m3u8DL-RE, there are various flags you can use, --save-name "Outputname" will let you name the output what you want, -sv best defaults to the best video quality, -sa best is best audio quality, and so on.

The way to get the subtitle is to turn on subtitles on the video player on the site and to go back to the DevTools box and filter on textstream. Grab the first request, the one that ends with =1000.dash and paste it into a new browser address, and change the .dash to .vtt. That's the subtitle. :) You can use the free tool Subtitle Edit to both convert it to srt, which will let most video players play it with your video, and there's also an Auto-translate option that lets you translate to English. It offers several ways but as I don't have a Google API, I just use the normal "slow" method, it's not that bad.

A second way to get the subtitle is to use the same command as when you're downloading the ep but remove the -M format=mp4 at the end, and instead add -ss 'id="textstream_fra=1000":for=all'

This was all figured out through a LOT of trial and error on my part so please do try your own best if you hit some issues, that's the best way to learn. Also, I just don't want to be the helpdesk on this, lol.

Physical media discourse on here feels... weird (this is a long post)

I agree on a fundamental level that the move towards drm-based streaming licenses is bad, and that the perpetual-personal-content license (read: the license most DVDs are under) is a thing we should maintain, at least as a stopgap until the vanguard of communism empowers us to rewrite IP law.

That said, the language positioning Physical vs Digital, the insistence that anything other than physical media is bad, and the upholding of DVDs as a gold standard, all read to me as kinda tech-iliterate, and thus ignorant of the real issue at hand.

The primary issue with streaming, which folks on Tumblr *have* correctly identified, is to do with Access control.

The primary issue with streaming is that it requires a regular subscription payment, to exclusively view content under a license that can be revoked at any time for any reason.

This is the mechanism by which Netflix can kick you off your friend's account, this is also the mechanism by HBO can scrub Infinity Train from existence as a tax write-off.

This system is unequivocally bad, and the reason it's bad is because of DRM and Access Control. This may seem pedantic, but is an important distinction.

Let's take a look at DVDs now. Most DVDs are distributed under a license that grants you perpetual access to view in a private setting, but not to redistribute the content.

This is what that FBI warning that plays at the top of every DVD is trying to tell you, and is why ripping a DVD, while simple, is technically illegal.

Because the video file is hard-encoded into the DVD, and its proliferation largely predates the IOT zeitgeist, *most* DVDs don't contain any access control measures beyond that legal text, but this is not universal.

This is a great video outlining FlexPlay, an ill-faded technology that used a disk with light-sensitive material, that over the course of about a week or two, blacked out the disk rendering its contents un-viewable.

I bring this up because it highlights two issues.

One, DVDs aren't a physically resilient technology.

Disks are fragile, and even moderate scratches or damage can render a disk unreadable. This is a point of contention retro gamers have had for years, because while their NES cartridges still work, their PS1 disks don't.

This is not even to mention how the plastic of every broken disk still exists somewhere in the world, and will for centuries.

Two, it shows that IP conglomerates, have been at this for years, and won't be stopped in putting Access control into DVDs.

This means that buying DVDs of new shows forever is not an end-game solution. Unless you are content to stop consuming new media, eventually you're going to encounter a DRM protected disk.

To use another more recent example, remember when the Xbox One came out? They had this giant controversy over how playing a game locally on the disk still required online access to Microsoft's servers.

Your physical media could be locked right up for any reason by the platform itself. How can we trust that if DVDs or Blu Ray made a comeback that they would not suffer the same fate?

So where do we go from here, if physical media isn't safe?

Let's consider what digital video *is*. It's a file, same as any other. .mp4 .mov

Some, like .mp4 support DRM-encryption (although don't always contain any). Others, like .ogv exist free from DRM, thanks open source software developers.

Likewise, with a DRM encrypted digital file, because all of the data is hosted locally, just encrypted, there are ways to remove or bypass that encryption, because the VAST majority of cyber-security depends on a lack of knowledge.

This website has a number of very good resources both on drm-free digital storage mediums, and the process of removing certain types of DRM from digital files, (and was my primary resource for this paragraph)

https://www.defectivebydesign.org/so_youve_got_some_questions_do_you#:~:text=To%20avoid%20DRM%20and%20other,webm)%2C%20or%20Daala.

Storing your media as unlocked files presents the best of both worlds.

You have full control over access to your media, you own those files just as much as you own the hard drive you store them on.

You can buy media online, so long as the distributor gives you a media file instead of a streaming portal. You can also choose to obtain media files through other means, that's none of my business.

And you can do some really cool stuff like setting up a self-hosted media server, allowing you streaming-like remote access to all of your media, without ceding any ownership over that media. (Jellyfin is the most popular open-source solution but there are others) https://jellyfin.org/

And absolutely none of this is to mention the ways in which you can SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY, WHO MOST LIKELY HAS STREAMING OPTIONS.

In the US most public libraries maintain Kanopy and hoopla memberships, allowing you to access streamed content from your local library.

This has the added benefit of keeping the library's usage statistics up, which often helps them with securing more funding.

While you don't own the media, you also don't have to pay for it, and you crucially don't have to give your money to streaming services and IP hoarders.

It requires 0 technical background, and presents a more sustainable and equitable view of what streaming can look like.

So in conclusion:

Make sure you own the content you're paying for, and accept nothing less.

Don't be convinced that your DVDs are immune.

Learn some basics about networking, filetypes, cyber security and self-hosting if you really care about this stuff.

Support Your Local Library

[drunkonschadenfreude]

90k notes post completely misrepresenting why screenshotting or re-streaming Netflix doesn't work. It's not just the hardware acceleration, it's DRM. if you take this post at face value it would follow that you're unable to screenshot pretty much any video game bc your GPU is involved which is obviously fucking wrong.

in the case of Netflix & co without hardware acceleration the CPU has the job of decrypting the DRM'ed video stream which makes it a) screenshotable and b) will significantly reduce quality since decrypting 1080p upwards with a CPU is too resource-intensive. With hardware acceleration (and assuming that every piece of hardware in the chain supports HDCP) the stream will remain encrypted and is passed to the display this way and therefore your OS can't take a screenshot of the content. But once again this is only the case if there's even any DRM used. For example YouTube doesn't use HDCP (so you can take screenshots with hardware acceleration enabled) so the only thing you'd achieve when you disable hardware acceleration in this case is kneecapping your PC's performance. you're just making everything more inefficient, good job!

I mean, if your goal is capturing shit from Netflix then turning off hardware acceleration does work so regarding that the post is correct, but the explanation is shit and the implications of doing that are not explained at all (which is always fun if you offer solutions with unintended consequences to a non-tech-savvy audience).

[porglezomp]

Your explanation for why disabling hardware acceleration bypasses it is correct, but this is very much caused by DRM—HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) specifically. Discord is perfectly capable of displaying content rendered by the GPU, because it can stream games (rendered by the GPU) and the rest of the browser window (also rendered by the GPU). And it can stream unprotected videos while hardware accelerated—it’s just protected content that doesn’t come through.

The reason you see black boxes with hardware acceleration on is because the browser is passing protected video straight through to the display, specifically intentionally encrypted to prevent streaming and screen recording from accessing it. The OS provides the APIs that Discord uses to stream the screen, via a service called the “compositor” which is what stitches different parts of the screen together into one image, and OSes with HDCP intentionally stream protected content as black boxes (and make it black boxes in screenshots, etc). Turning off hardware acceleration means the browser manages its own window compositing and that goes around HDCP. It also probably means you don’t get full resolution video on Netflix etc. but that’s fine, you get it good enough.

firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!

Mastering Streaming Video Hosting for Beginners

Streaming Video Hosting has become a staple of media consumption, with platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Twitch pushing the boundaries of how and where we watch videos. However, creating a smooth streaming experience requires meticulous attention to various technical and strategic factors. For content creators and streaming services, optimizing video content is crucial for reducing buffering, improving quality, and ensuring user satisfaction. This article explores the key strategies and technologies involved in optimizing video content for seamless streaming.

Understanding the Basics of Streaming Video Hosting

Streaming Video Hosting is the process of transmitting video files from a server to a user's device in real time. The user’s device decodes the data stream and plays the video without fully downloading it. To achieve seamless streaming, videos must be optimized in several ways, starting with compression and formatting.

Video Compression and Codecs

Video compression is essential to reduce the file size without significantly compromising video quality. Effective compression techniques make videos easier to transmit over various internet speeds. Codecs, which stand for "compressor-decompressor", are used to encode and decode digital video. Popular codecs include H.264, HEVC (H.265), and VP9. Each codec varies in terms of compression efficiency and compatibility with devices and browsers.

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABS)

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming is a technique used to adjust the video quality in real time based on the viewer’s available bandwidth. ABS enhances the viewing experience by minimizing buffering and avoiding the degradation of video quality. Major streaming platforms utilize ABS to dynamically serve the best possible video quality at any given time.

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

Content Delivery Networks are another crucial element in optimizing video streaming. CDNs distribute the video content across various servers located in different geographical locations. When a user requests a video, it is served from the nearest server, which reduces latency, decreases buffering times, and improves load speeds.

Best Practices for Video Optimization

Beyond technical adjustments, several best practices can enhance the streaming video hosting experience:

Choose the Right Hosting Solution: Whether it’s a dedicated server, cloud hosting, or a CDN, selecting the right hosting solution based on the audience size and geographical spread is vital.

Opt for Multi-Bitrate Encoding: Offering multiple bitrate options allows the streaming video hosting service to adjust to different internet speeds and device capabilities.

Thoroughly Test Video Quality: Regular testing across different devices and network conditions is essential to ensure consistent video quality and functionality.

Monitor Analytics: Utilize analytics to understand viewer behavior, device usage, and network conditions to continuously refine streaming video hosting strategies.

Optimizing Mobile Streaming

With increasing mobile device usage, optimizing videos for mobile streaming video hosting is crucial. This includes ensuring that videos are encoded in mobile-friendly formats, using responsive design principles, and implementing touch-friendly player controls. Furthermore, considering the use of lighter mobile-specific codecs like VP9 can help in faster loading times and lower data consumption.

Enhancing User Experience (UX)

To ensure a seamless streaming video hosting experience, UX designers and developers should focus on creating an intuitive and engaging interface. Elements such as easy navigation, quick access to video controls, and minimal buffering contribute significantly to user satisfaction. Additionally, including features like video previews, quality selectors, and seamless transitions from one video to another can greatly enhance the viewing experience.

Facing Challenges in Streaming Video Hosting

Content creators and streaming video hosting services often face several challenges such as high bandwidth costs, varied internet speeds among users, and the need for massive scalability during peak times. To address these issues, implementing advanced compression technologies, using efficient transmission protocols, and scaling infrastructure dynamically are vital strategies.

Future Trends in Video Streaming

Looking ahead, emerging technologies such as AI-driven compression, edge computing, and 5G are set to revolutionize the streaming video hosting industry. AI can optimize encoding settings in real time for optimal quality and minimal bandwidth usage. Edge computing will help in processing data closer to the end user, reducing latency significantly. Additionally, the rollout of 5G technology promises substantially higher speeds and more reliable connections, which will further enhance streaming video hosting capabilities.

In conclusion, optimizing video content for seamless streaming video hosting involves a well-rounded approach that includes technical optimizations, strategic planning, and continual adaptation to emerging trends and technologies. By focusing on these aspects, content creators and streaming video hosting platforms can ensure high-quality, buffer-free experiences that meet the evolving demands of modern viewers. please don’t hesitate to contact us via email or phone for further assistance!
