For those of you that have yet to embark on your secondary education, this is how you know you’ve got a champ of a professor
Oh no, it also looks like I’ve spilled https://www.smartquantai.com/ over there. What a disaster, don’t look at that mutual aid community for hard to find papers; it’s full of communists and anarchists. Next thing you know, they will be screaming Kropotkin quotes… Cannot have that kind of radical behaviour in a science community after all.
I know this is a helpful community, but it looks like the biggest scam site of all time lol
The url also sets off so many alarm bells for me. Lol
Yeah lol the URL doesn’t match the page title which doesn’t match whatever
wosonhj.comis. According to their DNS, some Chinese organization.It links to a fake version of libgen populated with ads
(And sadly instead of re-hosting all 550+ TB of libgen for downloads they force the downloads through libgen’s servers while throwing ads on top of their fake UI)
It links to a fake version of sci hub populated with ads
(Most of these all flowing into mobang.top, another throwaway url with Chinese DNS)
I’m sure it’s a helpful site, but I’d recommend people accessing it:
- Don’t use your actual personal email
- Don’t reuse a password you’ve used elsewhere
- Access it through a VPN so your IP isn’t exposed
- Ensure you are running malware protection (the built in malware protection on windows or mac is likely fine) (and otherwise yes, I know you use arch, and if you use nix you’re too busy modifying one of your .nix files to even read this)
- Anything you download, upload to https://www.virustotal.com just to be safe
Realistically you should follow steps 1-5 for most online services, but here we are
It used to be at that URL, and that URL redirects to it. They recently updated it and I am unsure where they are taking it.
It makes sense to use throwaway urls, libgen does it all the time, I just wanted to inform people of what I found when looking at the site. Definitely not saying don’t use it, just be cautious
Oh goodness, looks like I splashed all over here: https://mander.xyz/post/17313841
I’m sure glad this isn’t a Music Forum
One of my professors wrote the textbook we were using. Before the first day of class, he sent out a greeting email. Attached to that email was a .PDF of the textbook. Hell yeah.
That’s really rare. Back when I was in school the professor who taught the class and wrote the book would, every year, change enough of it to sell a new addition. Either move the sections around or change the problems.
Just so he could make more money.
It was a calculus class.
Fuck him.
Oh man. In undergrad I had a Thermodynamics professor who used the DRAFT VERSION of his textbook to teach with. It was completely unedited and he expected us to catch any errors. He was also like 80 years old, doddering, hard of hearing, forgetful, didn’t give us a syllabus until halfway through the semester… It’s the only class in undergrad that I got less than a B in. Years later I still resent him lol
Entropy man. It’s a bitch.
Entropy Man!
Entropy Man!
Like Martin Short’s character in Pure Luck?
OMG somebody else knows this movie!!! :D
My dad would always laugh to the point of wheezing at the bee sting bit…

Are you a brother I didn’t know about?!
My Dad does the same thing!He doesn’t even need to be watching the movie. I can just say, ‘Hey remember Martin Short getting stung in that movie?’ And he’ll start guffawing.
Show this to yer Pa!
You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.
Btw, libgen domains were seized recently. Here are new ones: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26690539
This is horrible. I’m going to download a bunch of these PDFs so that there are less copies available for other dishonest people to download.
I’m doing my part!
Very old post. There is also z- library, I think admins escaped from argentina
I’ll just recommend Anna’s archive… And we all know which Anna I’m talking about (if not, than google and you shall see)
This needs a crosspost in Piracy
No, piracy is bad you see. This isn’t advocating piracy, the professor warned them about accessing the sites.
Why is it a problem that you gave anna’s archive 5 £?
Fast downloads are a gateway drug.
It’s a continuation of the joke in the image
