Incoming - I'm sharing NatSoc books

submitted by knije_tahou to whatever 2.3 yearsJan 31, 2022 13:01:12 ago (+27/-0)     (whatever)

I will be sharing a google drive folder that has a couple hundred NatSoc and other likeminded books in it. Feel free to download everything you want. I will not have this up for more than a week so get it while you can

Thanks for archiving books. I have some technical suggestions. Google is all about proprietary software, tracking and destruction of privacy:

1. μWire https://muwire.com

MuWire is an advanced way of anonymously sharing files. It uses i2p, which is more secure than TOR. If you aren't running GNU+Linux, you can run MuWire using java. MuWire is a reproducible build.

2. OnionShare https://onionshare.org

OnionShare is a cool and easy way to share files using TOR. People are more familiar with TOR and more likely to use a TOR link. If you haven't tried OnionShare yet, you should. You can easily create a .onion website using it too. TOR isn't best suited for large file sharing.

3. ipfs-desktop https://docs.ipfs.io/install/ipfs-desktop/

This is a superb way to share files for many reasons, however it was not built with privacy as a priority. To mention only two of IPFS's brilliant advantages, you share files using a hash of their content, so you know you will be getting the intended file. Also, others who have the file pinned on IPFS will create a CDN content delivery network.

4. .epub
Epub is the best format for electronic books, but you have them as .pdf. Epub is a Free format which enables for example rescaling the size of the page well.

5. Lokinet
Lokinet is an even more private and secure way of sharing files than i2p. It is in early stages at the moment, but Session will soon support it: https://getsession.org

6. Aether https://getaether.net

Whilst I am suggesting all these tools, let me not miss the opportunity to mention Aether, which is where Voat should live. If you look at the "About Aether" section, you will understand why.

Please let us know if you have the files available on MuWire
