fair enough

github allows malware?

Do you know how to use it?

I have no idea how to find a manifest or a depot

USTR blacklist

Anna’s Archive, Libgen, etc are all on here. this is just 2023

Damn.

What is the USTR blacklist? how do we preserve this data before its lost?

Very little. I know basic html + css but I am trying to work with python

I could send it to you privately if you let me know ur discord or something

The discord thing is a no-go since I don’t really know how to make my issue palatable. That’s why I used lemmy. Thanks again!

I’m attempting to make a webscraper that can grab online books that are stored within the site or stored with a direct link to the storage site. I don’t want to reinvent this but finding one that I can work and/or build off of is hard due to my lack of experience and vague resources.

This was the original plan but it doesn’t work as well for this on ‘dynamic’ websites

My current script uses bs4 and request imports. It also has the selenium import for geckodrive but I am considering just removing that feature lol

I don’t want a point and click scraper, just a guide that isn’t assuming I have background + simple mans terms for easier reading. Thanks for believing in me to be able to build the basic skills necessary! Much appreciated :3

I recommend talking to a LLM

Any recommendations? Not chat-GPT

Also thanks for the help so far!

I don’t have programming experience and what sorts of software can “drive” the driver?

use the megathread and go by what has a 🐐 beside it

HydraHD (on the megathread)

huliganism

what is that?

Oh. Why is it always in the common redist? what does it do?

So even if no one directly connects to my computer, just letting it seed is all you need? I use Deluge and, when it finishes downloading, it says “seeding” but I worry that means that someone can connect to my computer directly. Does it work fine if I just leave it be?
