The goal of this post is to provide a hub to discover some powerful internet resources out there.

For example here’s one I wanted to share.

  • Open Source Ecology is a project for open source hardware that is significantly cheaper than retail costs. Some of the equipment include open source designs for CNC machines, windmills, tractors, plasma cutters, power supplies, motors, generators, and much more!

      Thank you, great resource! It’s very sad to see the feds going after libraries with the recent attacks against libgen (And potentially Internet Archive). Hopefully these libraries truly will be preserved forever. Information belongs to everyone.

      In his ruling, Judge McMahon wrote, ‘The plaintiffs (the publishers) have suffered irreparable harm as a result of the defendants’ (LibGen operators’) unlawful conduct and will continue to suffer harm if the defendants are permitted to continue operating LibGen,’ and said LibGen’s operation should be stopped.
