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’m sure glad this isn’t a Music Forum
Oh goodness, looks like I splashed all over here: https://mander.xyz/post/17313841
Goddamn, butterfingers!
I know this is a helpful community, but it looks like the biggest scam site of all time lol
Yeah lol the URL doesn’t match the page title which doesn’t match whatever wosonhj.com is. 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
