No idea where they're coming from, but people have been exchanging files on IRC files for year, why stop now? The obscurity of it is probably the only reason it's still around, it will never get enough attention for traffic to overload the servers, and nobody will bother trying to hit them with lawsuits.

Libgen is great for popular books, but the above guide is amazing for finding basically anything else. I’ve often needed to load up IRC to find more obscure books.
I’ve been following Lemmy and the fediverse in general for a while so I’m excited about this new energy. Like others have said, my reason for leaving Reddit specifically are:
- I won’t ever use the official app, fuck ads and bad U
- it sounds like old Reddit is going away, and I can’t stand new Reddit
- a platform more resilient to this type of changes is appealing
I use a Europiccola lever machine. I can get shots on par or better than all but the best coffee shops in my area (though the frother leaves something to be desired). I’m using a manual grinder, which is a good way to keep the budget down and keep quality high.
I’d personally recommend an Aeropress over a pour over for a beginner. Pour over is actually pretty tricky to get great tasting coffee out of imo, aeropress is much harder to screw up.
