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.

Anyone got good options for ebooks? Currently got calibre setup but only sourcing my books from libgen. Tried using jackett + readarr but the indexers didnt seem great... is it worth paying for indexers? Which ones?

    So.. I feel ancient just mentioning this, but for literally 20 years now #bookz on undernet has been a solid source for books.

    Use something like hexchat, get in the room, search your book, profit. Just got some stuff a few days ago.

    Edit: actually, followed JC1's link in their comment, and it's a whole guide about how to get set up.

    althub.co.za has been a decent indexer for ebooks for me. But ebooks are just not as readily available on usenets. And new books are rarely available upon release. I'll manually download from libgen and import to readarr in those cases.

    Z-library is my personal pick, It's currently on the darkweb, however, you can access it through tor, or with a web browser that uses tor (like Brave). Once you're in you can generate a personal clearnet link. You can even set up your own telegram bot.
