Debian Stable isn't the only way to run Debian though people often act like it. That said, if you want the stability of Debian Stable then run it with the nix package manager (nix-bin).

Yes just like paying for vpn and/or seedbox to safely torrent.

Until I can figure out if and how to do voice cloning on my dGPU-less desktop potato, I've been using Piper to make audiobooks out of my ebooks and its been pretty good!

Thanks for predb.net and the report! Interesting stats.

I'd suggest per category rss feeds. The all-in-one feed has too much to be useful.

The idea that there'll always be someone to take on all the risk for everyone else to get shit free is kinda annoying. Especially when I see people asking how to share securely get told "if you don't know, don't do it."

That could be part of it but I'm not sure it comes close for most ebooks. A lot of these books are professionally typeset and laid out pdfs, not sloppy calibre conversion pdfs. I don't think Amazon sells in pdf. As far as bounty forums, I just looked at one site over the last three days. It averaged 365 books per day, 199 per day with 2023 publication dates. That seems like a lot of successful bounties!

 

I'm trying to figure out how 0day ebooks are sourced. To be clear, I'm not talking about release groups like bitbook or libricide but on ddl forums I frequent. Just as an example, this book on amazon has a publication date of March 7th and it's already available on places like avax. I looked into other sources like irc and nothing. They can't be buying out of pocket right?
