French pirate/torrent sites?


I’m trying to learn French, so I’m looking for places to get media I can watch and read. Bonus points if there are kids’ books and TV shows – I’m at an absolute beginner level here.

The fediverse community is !tipiak@anarchist.nexus

Tipiak is a kinda slang way of saying pirate. It comes from an old tv ad from a food company named Tipiak. 3 old grandma screamed "pirate !" after discovering that the food tastes the same as their own secret family recipe (supposedly). It became sort of a meme and is used to say pirate. As the French language is not difficult enough for our English neighbours, we started to conjugate the word: Ce soir je vais tipiaker ce film (tonight I’m going to pirate (download) that film).

The same word is used in the answer from @obercail@jlai.lu with even a new variant: Tipiakeries (pirate thingy)

The two main French torrents tracker (private tracker) are:

Experience with hosting a public Invidious instance?


I just finished setting up the hardware infrastructure to start hosting but I cannot find any specific information in the official documentation on how to set up a public Invidious instance. I understand the guide as far as just hosting an instance and watching YouTube through that goes, but how do I, for instance, give it a publicly searchable domain name that - in the best of worlds - is listed on Invidious' website?

I assume there is a better way than to start posting my instance's IP address throughout any forums that I might be active on?

in reply to emotional_soup_88

As diminou mentioned, do your research before you go down this road. You can also open yourself to DMCA takedowns if you aren't careful.

See: docs.invidious.io/hide-instanc…

It would be better for you to just run a private instance initially. You can use tailscale if you want to be able to access it remotely. That's the safest way to start out.

Edit: There's a tutorial here if you are intent on doing it: fedfree.org/docs/http/arch-inv…

Thanks for the tutorial! For now, I'm looking into connecting to my instance with a simple wireguard tunnel, if I decide to just have a private instance.

I already read Invidious' documentation. 👍

The reason I'm asking about a public instance is because I want to share my bandwidth with y'all with more than torrenting, an I2P router and Tor bridges. 🙈

it's so wild that she never wants to eat them. I'm eating them! I know it's yummy! oftentimes it's stuff with fish or chicken, which she knows the taste of! but never even goes for a nibble, just a sniff.

Honestly quite happy that she's very stupid. The only way she knows what food is, is if it is in her bowl.

How to revert Firefox’s latest changes to address bar suggestions


tldr; Firefox changed the order in which suggestions appear when you start typing in the address bar. It used to show previously visited websites first. Now it prioritizes its own suggestions.

To get back to the old behaviour, navigate to about:config, search for the key browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst and change the value to false.


in reply to acargitz

I tried, but their website wouldn't accept my information for some reason. Tried a couple times, tried different browsers, even tried the provincial site, nothing.

Why Inuit Hold the Keys to the Arctic’s Future | The Tyee


Canada’s hold on its Arctic territories depends on Inuit and can be bolstered by strengthening their communities, a leading expert says.

University of British Columbia global affairs professor Michael Byers, who has spent much of his career studying power and international politics in the North, says the legal system that underpins sovereignty questions in the Arctic remains “robust,” despite recent rhetoric from Donald Trump about Greenland.

Byers says it still makes sense for Canada to improve military capabilities. But he says investing in infrastructure and support for Arctic communities would also help strengthen Canada’s sovereignty in the North.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was in fact the case. It's how bureaucracy tends to work. No matter how stupid that is.



Canada in talks with Meta on return of news to Facebook as CUSMA review nears


The federal government says its willingness to speak with Meta about the possibility of seeing online news return to Facebook is part of an ongoing conversation Canada is having with the United States as the review of CUSMA nears.

"The door has always been open on our government's side to discuss these issues. We've been having regular discussions with platforms since the Online News Act was developed. This is nothing new," said Hermine Landry, press secretary to Culture Minister Mark Miller.

The Online News Act, which became law in 2023, requires tech giants like Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms.

in reply to HellsBelle

This would be a terrible concession to a corporation that produces AI agents that drive teenagers to suicide. There are people in the government that still believe that the best way to deal with Trump and his corporate associates is to appease them. The evidence is clear that this assumption is horribly misguided.
in reply to HellsBelle

The sooner people get off Meta platforms, the better. Like many of us, I've had to keep my Facebook and Instagram accounts because it's the only way I can contact some people and it fucking sucks; they won't email, or use a messenger like Signal or Telegram, or even SMS. As someone who saw firsthand the rather quick implosion of multiple early social media sites, like MySpace, it is bloody annoying how Meta not only won't die, but is still popular. The lack of news sharing on Facebook did, however, get a few people I know to branch out from the Meta bubble so, anecdotally, I don't think it's wise negotiating to make Facebook more usable.



Scott Bessent warns Carney not to 'pick a fight' with Trump


The Trump administration is once again ramping up its rhetorical pressure on Canada, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issuing a fresh warning to Prime Minister Mark Carney over looming trade negotiations.

Bessent was at an event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to launch what U.S. President Donald Trump has dubbed "Trump Accounts," an investment vehicle for children.

In an interview with CNBC's Sara Eisen, Bessent was asked about the rift between Trump and Carney over the prime minister's headline-grabbing speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

"I would just encourage Prime Minister Carney to do what he thinks is best for the Canadian people, not his own virtue signaling, because we do have a USMCA negotiation coming up," Bessent said, using the American acronym for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

"I would not pick a fight going into USMCA to score some cheap political points," he added.

No aarch64 builds yet, but I have opened an issue. Might have a look at building this, as I cannot wait to try this on my phone (Pixel 3a/Mobian).

in reply to erebion

I'm really happy to see that they shamelessly ripped off discord. We saw with bluesky that having an ultra-familiar UX is a big advantage.

For mobile linux, I'm going to stick with Dino. I like that it is lightweight, natively supported and integrates well with the rest of the system thanks to libadwaita.

I'm disappointed that contributors have to sign a CLA that allows them to relicense to proprietary licenses. So, all the power goes to them.

I've never used Discord, so I thought "Oh, like Element, but less broken! Fancy."

I'm not a fan of Bluesky, but good point! Might recommend that client to a lot of people once it can do OMEMO.

I just miss ad-hoc commands, which Fluux already does. I'd prefer libadwaita as well, but having a way to config my IRC transport on the go is great. Gajim mostly works on the phone, but not as well as Fluux.

So, all the power goes to them.


Pretty sure there'd be a community fork pretty quickly, as this is already one of the clients with the most clean UI.

That makes a lot of sense. I hope it works well on the phone!

Yeah, in fairness I'm probably overreatcting a bit. One of the things I really like about XMPP is the diversity of stakeholders and developers. I would be really sad if that went away.

in reply to erebion

Title is rather misleading. It runs on OP's phone because he's running a debian based mobile os. This won't run on your android phone.

Yes. It is. Thank you. This was supposed to be a reply to the 'no apk' comment. I hit the wrong reply arrow. Thanks for pointing it out.
in reply to rando

Yes it was and Android support is even planned as well, according to the README. But this is very early days for this client, so it's not there yet. Just as Flatpak support is also not there yet, as the dev hasn't yet figured it out fully according to the recent commits.
in reply to thagoat

It uses Tauri2 which does support Android. There isn't an Android version of this XMPP client yet, but it is on the roadmap.

Float, Wise, Koho, Paramount, and Brim join Payments Canada | BetaKit


A handful of Canadian FinTech firms are now in line to reap the benefits of the country’s incoming real-time rail (RTR) payments infrastructure system.

Float, Wise, Koho, Paramount, and Brim are now members of Payments Canada, the organization that underpins the Canadian financial system announced on Tuesday. With their membership, the companies can now apply to participate in payments infrastructure projects and rely less on third-party intermediaries to handle their transactions.

in reply to Otter Raft

Funny, just yesterday I noticed I could add money to Wise by paying it as a bill through some banks (cost seems $0.31 flat, way better than even Interac).
in reply to Otter Raft

Maybe I should know who these companies are, but this just made me think of

It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob.
