Links to unprotected directories of pics, vids, music, software and otherwise interesting files.
Welcome to /r/OpenDirectories
Featuring unprotected directories of pics, vids, music, software and otherwise interesting files.
/r/OpenDirectories Rules
there aren't many
1. Adult content must be labeled [NSFW]
2. Requests are not permitted.
Requests for anything other than technical advice are not permitted, try /r/DHExchange instead.
3. If a directory is found to contain personal information, child pornography (including animated CP aka lolicon), or any other questionable content. The link will be removed at the moderators' discretion.
4. Onion links (deep/dark web) are not allowed.
5. Link obfuscation is not allowed
Obfuscating or trying to hide links (via base64, url shortening, anonpaste, or other forms of re-encoding etc.) may result in punitive actions against the entire sub. Whereas, the consequence for DMCA complaint is simply that the link is removed.
NOTE All users should be wary of any open directory or torrent of porn, as well as be familiar of the local and national laws regarding porn, firearms, subversive content, etc in their location.

Given the topic if it's NOT nsfw that's an indictment on the people hosting not me!

This isnt actually /r/opendirectories material, but it seemed like the kind of thing that overlaps enough that someone here may have the expertise to help me.
There is a paysite that i subscribe to that lacks a search function, and I need to do a text search for somthing. Due to requiring a username and password, google does not index the site, so a simple search will not work.
Does anyone know a way I can do a text search of a password protected website?
seems like all the manga is in japanese unfortunately. Figured I would share in case any of yall read japanese
i have been waching pirate Media for afew years now and i always wanted to lean how to pirate myself so i have came here to request anyone here to teach me how to pirate I would appreciate it

Nothing looks obviously NSFW.

Couple of recent questions about searching prompts this.
Literally search "google dorks" - there are dozens of sites that will walk you thru what terms to use and how to use them. The old fave
site:thesiteyoufoundorarelookingfor.com /
still stands and will give you some gud results. For specific things replace the forward slash with "the thing you are looking for, in quotes".
Google has been steadily removing or restricting results of indexes. No this is not me being paranoid - it's a quantifiable trend in the last few years. Personally I use brave search.
https://search.brave.com/
To be clear: I DO NOT use brave browser nor am I affiliated with brave or shilling for them/getting BAT (their dodgy crypto) for saying so.
I have found they don't filter their results for searching for ODs as much as google. I have tried duckduckgo & startpage but find brave better. Personal choice.
Turn off the "Answer with AI" and all the telemetry "Anonymous local results", "Discussions" and "Anonymous usage metrics" in the advanced settings.
I have brave as my default search but you can always put it in the search settings for your browser using
https://search.brave.com/search?q=%s&source=web
with "bs" or similar as the keyword. ;^]
EDIT: Disclaimer etc. Without opening a hornets nest, brave has in the past been less than transparent about their relationships with their affiliates (advertisers) so despite brave's claims I would NOT treat brave search as "private". Brave make their money by selling advertising so thinking they aren't monetising your search data would be naive. That said - you WILL get less filtered results from brave search than google.
There are loads of instances and their results do vary. Generally make sure they have at least "Let's Encypt" and rather than have to reset settings across different instances I save the cookies and reuse where applicable.
Unlike other engines you can't really rely on an instance being up to make searx default but if you find an instance that appears to be stable then plug that into your seach setting - just remember this is people running these servers so they may be up or down depending. If a gud instance is down just search searx (not in searx dummy!) and find another instance. This is where having cookies to import comes in.
On that note - you can run your own instance, not really a beginners thing but a good way to give back if you are proficient. I have run my own instance and have had it listed but I'm not going to post it as I don't always run it. EDIT: To clarify - This is only really relevant if you already run a webserver & the installation/running of does have a learning curve. You can run it locally or if your server uptime is good apply to have it listed as an instance. NOT a beginners undertaking by any stretch!
There is a meta engine
https://searx.neocities.org/
but generally I just use instances I know.
I hope this helps some of the newer users and I am happy to answer technical questions. I am not here to spoonfeed people and with some nous and ingenuity everything I've mentioned is at the tip of your fingers either here or by searching.
Get gud! Godspeed and gud hunting.
Oh and when you find some excellent stuff - post it here!
While exploring colorization methods, models and papers I discovered this OD: https://colorization.eecs.berkeley.edu/siggraph/
It has the models, study and results of SIGGRAPH 2017.
I found the link in the `fetch_models.sh` script of [Interactive Deep Colorization Repo](https://github.com/junyanz/interactive-deep-colorization).
An eg. of how to do a home made NAS on the cheap.
Old sai2 serverbox (this link is the mobo not the box) - for drive bays. 9 I think from memory & I've kludged some (bolted to the drive bay container.) It fits atx and most other form factors. I did have an old scsi drive bay with hotswap drives connected to a pci scsi card via ide (not many mobos with ide connectors any more!) but the drives performance was relatively shit and it turned a warm box into an oven. For the space it wasn't worth the hassle.
can't remember the mobo off hand but i5 and 32gb ddr3 (too old now & doesn't go anywhere else these days). Most mobos these days have at least 6 sata plugs. I got a sata pci card (about $30) and have a few more drives.
Assorted sata drives ranging in size from tb's to 500gbs. I thought of raid (the mobo did have it) but a lot of the drives already had content on (pulled out of usb enclosures when I used to plug straight into the tv). Too hard basket to setup but worth it if you don't have content already. If only for raid4-6 redundancy. It comes out at 14tb (so far!) and I have empty sata plugs but not really any room for drives. I even have 2.5" drives bolted above and below in 5.25" slots.
a killer nic and a tplink wireless nic - the killer was a gayming buy when I used to wasd and has packet inspection & redundancy which is very gud for transfer rates to put data on the drives. The wifi is fairly good in our house and I've never had buffering issues streaming from the nas to the tv.
openmediavault running on an old 32gb ssd. In a rare move for me /, /home & swap are all on the same drive/partition but it's a solid drive and frankly if it fails a usb key would do in a pinch.
Unless stated everything is hw that has come out of the crap (spare) room cupboard collected over the years and most of it was acquired for free from bring-out-your-dead/hard/kerbside rubbish pickups, dumpster dives or 2nd hand from ops shops or tip shops. The OS is one I know well as I use debian for work and I am quite comfortable using a headless (ssh or just terminal) setup. Any prices quoted are failing alcoholic memory prices.
I am happy to answer technical questions about setup and will maybe do pics later (it's under my wife's desk near the router). I'll also try to dig up links for specific hw. & yes - I call it austere and frugal. My family call it stinginess. ;^]
Attention /u/SonicLeaksTwitter, /u/fanpages, /u/KoalaBear84, /u/NobleKale, /u/dudewithoneleg, /u/Rhonda_and_Phil, /u/Chaphasilor.
I hope this reaches all of you - I'm calling you the brainstrust for opendirectories atm. I'm not sure how to reach multiple recipients on reddit. Messaging would only allow 1 at a time.
There has been a few rule 2 breakers recently. They shit me no end and I often spend more time being cranky with them than I probably would just helping - chalk it up to being a grumpy old man.
Would it be possible write a bot using one of the search engines - KB84, maybe yours or odcrawler to grab the search term from their request and send it to the engine, then outputting a link from that search for them.
My reasoning here is that all saying
rule 2
and in my case frequently politely telling them to fuck off does is send them away. Often never to return. That means they don't bother learning how to search for ODs and in turn then don't post those sweet sweet links for us to plunder and pillage. To use the shitty homily - we're just closing the fish market.
I have some programming background (c & asm) but neither I think is any help here. I'm guessing python? I am happy to coordinate/collate and help in any way.
Depending on our discussion here I'll send something to our benevolent mods.
Cheers.
inb4 this is technically a request and I've broken rule 2!

Does such a thing exist?
Since discovering this sub and quickly going down the rabbit hole filling my Plex server and my own personal hoard, I soon found myself regularly exceeding the data cap for my household every month and accumulating a ton of extra charges for the extra used data.
So, knowing my phone has unlimited data, I started downloading from ODs to my phone then transferring everything to my computer over USB. Having to manually select every file, one by one.
I was curious if an app similar to the DownThemAll extension existed for Android. Not sure if I'm using the wrong search terms or just not trying hard enough but so far I have not found anything.
I downloaded some official WAV music files via Bandcamp. Now I noticed that the detail properties such as title, album, artist etc. are not filled in, and cannot be filled in. It seems like these files are blocked to edit. Is it possible to unlock these files so that I can still fill in the detail properties of these music files?
