I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

You can use IRC to pirate ebooks that you won't be able to find on torrent sites.

Wait until you hear about library genesis.

Take a look at annas-archive too. It’s run by the same people, and includes both libgen, but also z-library books. I find the search on the site to be better as well.

Hell yeah, dude/ dudette. Comment saved.

As much as I love z-library, libgen or Anna's Archive they are coming through for me for my kids books. Subjects like HVAC or construction or not showing up. Thanks for the IRC tip.

LibGen is the damn tits, I have never failed to find a title and the quality is always good.

Man I completely forgot about IRC, used to use this so much in my teens. Good to know it's still alive

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah I remember using mIRC before Napster to trade songs with people. I may have to download it again for the nostalgia

IRC is useful for other content as well: https://www.xdcc.eu/

sorry, I may just be absolutely retarded, but how exactly do you download things from this link? I can't figure it out after navigating around the site for a little bit- after searching for something and finding it, it looks like there's a link but anytime I click it it doesn't do anything

This is also great for ebooks. https://annas-archive.org/

But never anything my wife asks me to get for her

Is this topic-specific or are there other bots other than the one in UnderNet? I've never found on IRC a book that wasn't in libgen

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

#ebooks on IRCHighway has alot of newer books. Older books are more likely to be found on Undernet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well, that makes a lot of sense now :) thanks.
