not exactly, zlib sometimes has more books since it has its own uploader, but yeah generally you can use libgen, personally I still use zlib because it allows sorting by popular so I can see which files are good quality.

“stealing” ? and I didn’t know about brave rewards, do they really do that ?

Edit: or did you mean the website I was talking about ? I eventually found it, it was http://peppercarrot.com/

I think the author is @werwolf@fosstodon.org, I feel like the article is targeted towards people who already know about the drama. (some of it’s mentioned in another page)

I don’t think so, I believe they already know about it just didn’t write it in the article.

maybe it depends on the ISP, I can’t access it. (if your ISP is airtel, most of these might not be blocked, not sure why but airtel tends to not block some of the sites that other ISPs do)

The point is, there are too many ads

agreed, but I don’t want to use archlinux

I mean, Wikipedia probably wouldn’t survive if the internet disappeared.

not for me, it works fine for me, you’re using libgen.is right ?

SearXNG supports alexandria too

yep, I’m using this, it’s great!

why ?

actually, github is better for these kinds of things from my experience, there are so many repos that github is unlikely to notice this, on the other hand it’s easier to be discovered on smaller sites like codeberg and get taken down (happened to me).
