I will miss our old instance but I'm glad that we have a fall back now! Long live the king!
indeed. I use both. I happen to have brave AND firefox on my laptop, as I've been making the transition to firefox the last few months. I'm entirely on firefox on my desktop, but I mainly use brave on my laptop. I used it to stream the aforementioned things on Saturday
so the way it worked was that it would only open the popup when the browser was opened and it would open it in a separate window. I could close it out but upon restarting the browser the popup would come back up.
After this I performed a scan with windows defender, which found and quarantined two things it labeled as trojans, and then with malware bytes, which found a couple of other bits of malware that I can't remember how it was labeled. Seems like it's all cleaned up now
it wasn't actually netflix, it's literally a site like Fmovies but with the name susflix??
movie and tv streaming and sports. I wonder if it wasn't one of the sports sites as it was a sports betting pop up, but the susflix was the only site that seemed to have anything bad according to the virustotal site.
I presently have both uBlockorigin and Brave's native adblockers at work, so not sure how it slipped through there. Definitely gonna look at the userscript manager though
as it were, I wouldn't have, but it was in the FMHY wiki as a starred site, so I figured it was trusted
Windows defender showed it as being a trojan- it appeared as a popup with a sports betting page popup anytime I opened my browser. I quarantined it and took care of it and did a few different scans with windows defender and malware bytes, all of which came back negative after the initial scan.
The sites I visited were:
sportssurge (v2)
steameast (v2)
freesports
susflix
themoviearchive
I went through and scanned all of these websites with virustotal this morning, and it came back with a detection on susflix for phishing. Susflix was listed as a goated site in the FMHY wiki, so maybe I should reach out and let them know about it just in case?
I assume this is the site that installed it as I have used every site other than that on both PC's and have had no problems whatsoever on my other one. Either that, or one of the links that was given by sportsurge had a virus in the stream or otherwise somewhere else in the link- either way, I didn't download anything so I got it straight from the browser.
Just thought I'd let y'all know to keep your guard up! Happy sailing!
edit: As much as I appreciate a good bit of sarcasm, I was indeed using uBlock origin as well as Brave's built in browser adblocker. Both are always turned on. Never had any sort of issues before now and I never download anything from non recommended sites or click on anything sketchy on the page (which nothing sketchy usually pops up with the adblockers running). Maybe some pages with streaming can still infect you with something even if you have adblock?And yes, I realize susflix is a weird sounding name for a site, but it seemed pretty nice and was listed as one of the few options to stream movies in 4k on the FMHY wiki. It was also a favorite according to the FMHY guide, so I figured it was safe. Guess I won't trust as much from that site anymore
Anybody use this site for custom cursors before? Is it safe? http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/wii-cursor-by-stefano-tinaglia
that's rather surprising. Maybe it's just dependant on location, but here, everybody calls lefties commies and right wingers nazis. That is, if they are being disagreeable to whichever side they are talking about. Most of the time they don't just label everyone with a different opinion than them as extremists
I'm in the opposite boat- love the movies, not crazy about the books. Love the hobbit novel and have read and re read it multiple times, but I can't start Lord of the Rings for some reason. Never am able to get into it
I love the movies from what I remember, but I watched them as a kid.
I also loved the Hobbit novel. But I have tried on at least three occasions to start the book trilogy to no avail. Not sure what exactly it was, but I usually get through the first chapter and then my interest just dies. Maybe I will try an audiobook version next time.
I've only ever heard people on the left calling right wingers nazis, never the other way around
why don't you just teach your kids to be pretentious hipsters from a young age and let them look down upon other kids for being part of the mainstream?
that's awesome mate, I will be saving this for later for sure.
Clicked through and saw the Thomas show- absolutely loved that one as a kid. Will say, the narrator that replaced Ringo, Carlin, and Baldwin has one of the most irritating voices I have ever heard. It's still soothing, but annoying in a weird way that I don't know how to describe
I have family members who are otherwise not worried about having to save money who are dropping netflix as soon as they get done binge watching their current show. Why? because they are paying for four people to use the account, and because of their new rules their parents aren't getting to use the account since they don't live in the same house.
I hate to break it to you netflix, but octagenarians who have no idea how modern technology works aren't going to understand how to setup an account, and they definitely aren't going to want to deal with having to call their children every week when they are asked for the "permission code" just to have the privelege of accessing what their children are already paying for.
On top of this, I'm sure their children don't want to have to deal with having to input this on a weekly (or however so often) schedule. It's a frustrating situation all around, and I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea.
I will look into this. The idea of having to do coding scares me, as I am not the best with it, but I have tinkered around with it before. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've been using either Spotifymate or doubledouble to automatically plug in spotify playlists and have all the tunes downloaded.
Doubledouble tends to have issues with regionlocking and will freeze a good bit of the way through processing certain playlists, so I've found it less than reliable.
Spotifymate is way more reliable, but when you plug in the link to the playlist, you have to download each song individually. This is not a problem with small playlists, but when you come across larger playlists it makes it a very tedious task. I may just be stupid, but I don't seem to see a way to download the whole playlist with one click.
Anybody know if its possible or should I look for other solutions? I should also add that I would be more than happy to use some sort of software that automatically makes spotify playlists into youtube playlists so that I can download them from youtube directly with jdownloader if that is an option, I just didn't see that anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Hey guys, made an account here. I had originally setup an account on the FMHY instance but its been down for the past half a day or so. Anybody know what's going on? Were they hacked or something? Or are they just doing some sort of server maintenance?
Either way, I'm happy to be here with fellow pirates and looking forward to continuing sailing the seven seas with you lot. ARRGH
