Note for the hacker crowd: they don't mean free as in speech. They mean free as in beer that fell off a truck.
This is a very interesting sub https://www.reddit.com/r/opendirectories
This reminds of FTP directories I used to download things from. There were FTP search engines (they are probably listed on this website already).
I've used this site for years, I originally found it off their subreddit. When they finally moved to a dedicated site it really improved the whole user experience from whatever reddit CSS was doing.
The admins keep it consistently updated and remove problem sources on a regular basis.
Piracy is preservation.
Always has been.
Rightsholders must not be allowed to control how works are preserved, else they can very easily steal from the eventual public domain in ways that mere piracy can never be considered stealing.
This is a fantastic resource. Not just for illegal purposes either. There is plenty of free stuff that is legal here.
It's easy to remember the URL too.
We need to make all of this so much more popular again
Very cool. I have a similar side project for scraping youtube playlists and aggregating open source texts. Mainly materials for computer science, system design, and DSA (data structures and algorithms).

Too much free stuff already and anything new will eventually become free. I'd rather wait or direct money to the projects I support.
stremio + debrid had been nice for most things. after a bunch of random stremio plugin outages i built my own little app that just talks to apibay and the debrid back end and links it up to vlc a few months ago and have just used that.
I point to this resource to my friends and family when they want to get stuff for free.
A great resource as an alternative to hostile and expensive subscription based "services" that shouldn't be businesses.
Awesome site. Easy to remember as well.
This looks like a reasonably good page (there possibly are better ones) for general AI chatbots, rate limits and sign-in requirements:
The modern bible of online piracy.
We abandoned piracy too soon. We fell for the trap that enshittified everything. It is time to pirate again.

- the site is awesome, but could be better
- I was also a fan of githubs awesome lists (eg. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted)
- I think separated lists are cool, because they focus on one subject, like self-hosted above... but if all awesome lists were in one big list...
- awesome lists are often data, with a lack of search functionality. fmhy site has a search functionality, but I often prefer searching links by a 'tag'
- what most of awesome lists lack is 'votes', or 'ranking'
My solution is to provide links, with tags, and 'ranking' https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database. Provides search by link, title, description, whatever. I think that is where it all should go.
Also my database captures links from fmhy.
