Pirate thread, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Post about pirates and and piracy be it on the high seas or the internet!
>pirate threadthis is my call
>>24101there are some online sites that can help you with removing the watermark
>>24128The captain was generally elected and their purpose was to be in charge mostly during active combat to avoid things being too chaotic. At other times they were usually more democratic and the captain didn't get more say than others. The popular image of captains lording it over the crew is a myth and based on how navy captains behaved. Pirate captains by contrast had to maintain their position through competence and respect of their subordinates because there wasn't a higher pirate chain of command to back them up.
During combat or similar situations (like sailing through a storm) the captain did tend to have something like absolute authority, but that's because the crew put their trust in them, so it's more like the crew as a whole having authority and the captain being the instrument. Obviously if you are fucking around not doing what you're supposed to when shit hits the fan you put the entire crew in danger. On a ship where the entire crew knows each other, there's less abstract separation between individuals and their effects on the whole group (compared to navy sailors getting executed over not pillaging some town so that nobles an ocean away can be a little richer).
Also captains often got a smaller cut of treasure than the rest of the crew. Being captain meant they avoided physical danger since losing them during combat would be bad for everyone. Basically the captain didn't get hazard pay that everyone else got.
>>24130very cool channel
>>24131>>24117Is there not a pirate catgirl?
>>24132As a character I don't think so.
In terms of just plain drawings? Probably. No Pirate Alunyas to my knowledge.
>>24136Realistic ones or trope versions?
There's not-insignificant overlap between the two IRL.
In the most tropey versions ninjas win because they are memed as being super stealth assassins while pirates are kinda just gritty dudes stealing treasure.
>>24136realistic ones? depends on circumstance, but I'd say the pirates if its a sea or coastal battle, then ninjas if they attempt sneak strke.
Trope wise Ninjas win - super stealthy, masters of blades etc.
Anime wise, who knows, One Piece and Naruto have big contenders for firepower.
>>24128It appears that the quartermaster practiced a rudimentary form of Marxian economics.
https://youtu.be/T0fAznO1wA8On top of that the captain was elected and could be overthrown via a vote of no competence in a was similar to the Mandate of Heaven
>>24150Say can you repost your confederate manifesto pdf again, I lost my copy and I wanted to give it a read again.
BTW did Russell Bentley ever reply to your email?
https://nyaa.si/ is good for anime torrents
Windscribe has a $2 vpn plan called "build a plan" where you get just 1 server location. choose a swiss server. and mullvad also works if you fear piracy backlash
>>24167That pirate Marx art looks so cool : 3
Can any anon post it?
( would be nice if also the other images gets posted too , or did that thread got archived in the first place?)
>>24167A classic
>>441061 Why's that?
>>24175>jpgkek.
Pirates are indeed underrated. Maybe folks are tired of the theme after that movies series with whats his face, edwards scissorhands. I recall the first one being good and then they milked it
>>24177ur probabaly right, barely remember the series now but I loved it as kid. Just know at one point they jumped the shark
Are there any other good pirate movies? Im a huge filmlet. Treasure Planet comes to mind but I bet there are better renditions of that story
>>24177The first 3 were basically a D&D campaign that starts out low level and by the end you're fighting gods and demigods in a convoluted plot that nobody really pays attention to or understands because they're more focused on the action. 4 & 5 had different people in charge and didn't really have a cohesive idea of where to go with the property, just an interest in making money.
>>24178Hey at least Treasure Planet was trying to do something unique instead of the endless rehash stage Disney is in now.
Muppet Treasure Island is widely regarded as one of the best adaptations of the story, and there's also that 1988 Soviet one that got memed (picrel).
Someone else recommended Black Sails which is decent and based more on historical piracy than most.
One Piece is probably the most popular pirate fiction and its live action adaptation comes out this Friday.
The last major budget Hollywood pirate movie before Pirates of the Caribbean (or since, really) was Cutthroat Island (1995) which is mediocre but notable for being a big flop that "killed the genre" until Pirates of the Caribbean revived it. Somewhat ahead of its time in that it has a girlboss protagonist, but without constantly winking at the camera about it.
If you want the more old school stuff that there's lots of Golden Age Hollywood pirate movies, mostly defined by Errol Flynn films like Captain Blood (1935) and The Sea Hawk (1940).
IMDB has a list of top pirate movies
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls050682417/ >>24179Thanks for the detailed response. Really need to use IDMB more, I love reading the reviews. I dont think its a virtue but I really dont have the patience for TV series but I will look at all the movies you listed and more. Pirate shit just hits the spot for me on some deep unconscious level
>>443963we had a zoomer temp at work who claimed to like sea shanties when I asked him what he listened to and I was dumbstruck lol. learned they were trending on the internet at the time and honestly Im not complaining
>>24187>and thought it was a piracy threadYarrrr
It
do be a piracy thread!
>>24189Ahem
The VCR (video cassette recorder) was the device that recorded and played the tapes.
The tapes themselves (as well as the specifications for the VCR machines specific to them) were VHS (video home system).
>>24190Yes but technically they're video tapes for VCR so it is not incorrect to refer to them as VCR tapes either and people used the term interchangeably
t.90sanon
>>24191You're quite welcome товарищ! I have a DVD copy (pirated ironically) that I loved as a kid.
>picDustin Hoffman's Hook performance was excellent, and frankly it was an excellent and underrated Robin Williams film.
>>24205It's been a long time since I seen that image posted here.
>>24207 Can you remember the edition? I have a Soviet Treasure Island book from my childhood and there's none of that in there.
Star-RUNE torrent
https://torrentgalaxy.to/torrent/15585027/Starfield-RUNE''I'd recommed using a VPN and a good Ad+tracker blocker if you're thinking of visiting any torrent site (I use Ublock Origin), but I've downloaded a few things off of here before and haven't gotten any viruses (that I know of).
Also, I wouldn't pirate the game yet. It's Bethesda, which means it's going to be buggy as all fuck, and you won't get any updates until it officially releases. It also requires an SSD, and requires 125 fucking GB of space. FitGirl will do a repack at some point and get the size down, I'm sure.''

Can anyone tell me why archive.is is down? It opens sporadically but only in Tor and I can't save any webpages. I use it a lot to see unredacted, unedited or deleted news sources and web-pages as well as to get around paywalls and this issue seems to be everywhere. Wayback isn't as reliable since it doesn't save image-files very well.
As a side contribution the pirate archive
https://thepiratearchive.net/archive.is is having a bunch of problems with some nginx BS. It fails to open properly then opens, then archive.ph stops working, and so on and so forth. It works ok in Tor, but you can't archive properly in tor because cloudflare gets stuck in a loop of captcha. It's enormously frustrating.
Also Cloudflare has been blocking me from accessing sites on any browser except Tor, citing some BS about being flagged, even though I was opening sites like blogpost literally the day before. I thought it was my computer but checking with IsItDown shows it as a problem across the net. Fuck me.

Does anyone know where I can find some of the Titan Prime comics? readcomic doesn't have the issues I'm looking for
Example:
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Comic_issue_4.5>>24272Same here m8. The writers really knew what they were doing with all the innuendos she and Jack shot off at one another, and the model design was perfect.
Airachnid too, in a Yandere sense.
>>24145>eyepatchThey wore it so that when they went below deck they didn't need to wait until their eyesight adjusted to less light. This was especially useful when about to board another ship, which is probably why the eyepatch entered stories and was memorised. If you're about to be boarded, you'd notice them all wearing eyepatches and it would stick with you.
Another fun fact, there's no record of a skull and crossbones pirate flag.
>>24276Every episode? Was there even a tear jerker moment in
every episode?
But yeah whatever they did, it worked. It definitely found an even more mainstream audience. Season 2 is coming, and if they can make Chopper work the show is going to really blow up.
>>24275> it wasn't that dark below decks, they had lamps and even 'light rooms'. You've never been below decks on a sailing ship, have you? Even with electric lamps, that shit is dim and spending going down there after being in the sun leaves your nightvision poor, it's why nightwatches use red light when doing night patrol or bilge pumping.
>>24274 >there's no record of a skull and crossbones pirate flag.See pic rel, Emanuel Wynn’s Jolly Roger.
Calico Jack's was a skull and 2 cutlasses.
>>24280Neato
>>24279I mentioned Calico, because the crossed cutlass is almost as well known as the crossed bones and is considered the normal. There's also a different skull and crossbones flag, but it's red and the skull is facing to the right, belonging to Henry Avery. And another I think of Blackbeard's, where a flying hourglass with an arm holding a dagger is poised over a skull and crossbones.

<NATO is "actively addressing" multiple IT security incidents after a hacktivist group claimed it once again breached some of the military alliance's websites, this time stealing what's claimed to be more than 3,000 files and 9GB of data.<When asked about this alleged intrusion, a NATO official declined to answer specific questions and told The Register:<NATO is facing persistent cyber threats and takes cyber security seriously. NATO cyber experts are actively addressing incidents affecting some unclassified NATO websites. Additional cyber security measures have been put in place. There has been no impact on NATO missions, operations and military deployments.<On Sunday, the SiegedSec crew claimed it broke into six NATO web portals: the alliance's Joint Advanced Distributed Learning e-learning website; the NATO Lessons Learned Portal, from which the gang said it stole 331 documents; the Logistics Network Portal (588 documents and other files); the Communities of Interest Cooperation Portal; the NATO Investment Division Portal (207 documents); and the NATO Standardization Office (2,116 documents).>The hacktivists, which describe themselves as made up of "gay furry hackers," usually target government orgs whose policies they disagrees with, and have a flare for political publicity stunts, also posted a link to the purported stolen files on their Telegram channel.

>"The astonishing siegedsec hackers have struck NATO once more!!1!!!," the crew wrote, bragging: "NATO: 0. Siegedsec: 2."<The team is referring to its earlier NATO intrusion in July, during which it claimed it swiped information belonging to 31 nations and leaked 845MB of data from the alliance's the Communities of Interest (COI) Cooperation Portal.<This site is used by NATO organizations and member states, though it doesn't contain classified information. And yes, it's one of the portals that SiegedSec says it breached again at the end of September.<Threat intel biz CloudSEK has analyzed the leaked data dumped in the earlier breach and said it contained at least 20 unclassified documents and 8,000 personnel records with names, companies and units, working groups, job titles, business email addresses, home addresses, and photos.<In other words: almost everything a spy, would-be identity thief, doxxer, social-engineering campaign coordinator, or plain old troll would like for potential fraud, phishing, espionage, or more general havoc. <We would be remiss not to point out that October is cybersecurity awareness month, and it appears that even after 20 years of this annual event, there's still much awareness to be gained. >>24289>>24288TL;DR:

This addon can easily redirect a link or a page to their archive version, WAPO, NYT and many other popular sites usually have their popular stuff archived as soon as it's published. It is on the various browser's addon sites.
https://github.com/dessant/web-archivesThis other addon was removed from the Firefox or chrome store. It bypasses many sites that have bypassable paywalls. For some that do not, like time magazine, it gives an archive link to the full article, for example.

3. (if you didn't) why didn't you get it from gog-games.to or scene releases?
>>24326>>24327I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but most of those "companies" are owned by the same parent companies, it's still a monopoly, just with figurehead companies to get around Trust laws, pic rel for news companies, Disney and food corporations for example.
Disney in particular has the cable deal with Time Warner so a majority if those streaming services are owned by them.

https://andadinosaur.com/youtube-s-anti-adblock-and-ublock-origin> YouTube isn’t rolling out the anti-adblock to everyone. It seems to depend on things like your account, browser, and IP address. And if … you’re in a private window, you’re safe.Option 1 (usually works):

https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wikiI recommend blacklisting every script by default, which will block all js-based ads. There are also the blocked domains marked red, that are periodically sourced from specified blocklists. If a site doesn't work, refresh with first-party scripts enabled and then continue adding and removing individual third-party scripts or XHR untl you're satisfied with how the site looks. You will get a feel for what scripts do. Those with api in the name usually enable specific site functionality. CDNs load text or media assets. Youtube in particular loads video and sound from different subdomains of googlevideo.com, so you should whitelist the whole domain.
>>24351A) Update uBlock to its latest setting, go to Details, Purge Caches and Update
B) Install privacy badger, go into the settings do the below.
Step 1: General Settings > Scroll down to Advanced > Enable all options (pic 1)
Step 2: Tracking Domains > Search for Youtube > Select first option (red bar) for all 3. (pic 2)
This will disable, interfere with any code YouTube is using to detect add-ons. Anything they create (legitimate or adhoc) that would go around this would violate privacy laws - and put them in deep water. They still may enforce bad things, but at least we can put the grenade into their hands. If they want to blow themselves up, might as well let them.
After this extension install and settings adjusted, you wont receive notices, and your ad-blockers will work as usual.
