Preppers Paradise: A collection of three DIY, prepping and tech libraries
https://archive.org/details/preppers_paradise

Almost 4000 files with Peace Corps, DIY, and some science articles.
They are viewable online or downloadable.

A lot of "appropriate technology"

And some that might be considered inappropriate, i.e. computer hacking.
Cross-posting to the computer group in that regard.

On edit, IA says I need to log in to view this content.
Holy Bullshit, Batman, why?
Even if an account is free, why in hell?

Enshittification?

I copied the link from a Hacker News article.

And the link given is this one:

Only thing I can think of is that it's being updated, though I didn't run into that.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
