@ -47,10 +47,11 @@ These are some sources you can use for research and gathering information for ar
- **[Project Gutenberg](gutenberg.md)**: mostly older books but there are already some computer related books like [RMS's](rms.md) biography or [Jargon File](jargon_file.md)
- **University theses** (and scientific paper of course): many university theses are publicly accessible and usually nicely sum up topics, bachelor level theses may be better understandable than PhD/master theses.
- **Slides**: slides from various presentations are actually great resources as they condense the topic into its main points, they filter out the piles of noise.
- **Wikisource** and **Wikibooks**](infogalactic.md)** etc.
- **[books](book.md)**: Books are still of higher quality than online sources so you can [pirate](piracy.md) some and steal some facts from them. Check out libgen, torrents etc.
- **[installgentoowiki](https://wiki.installgentoo.com)**
- **[YouTube](youtube.md)**: Yes, sadly this is nowadays one of the biggest sources of information which is unfortunately hidden in videos full of ads and retarded zoomers, the information is unindexed. If you are brave enough, you can dig this information out and write it here as a proper text.
- **Wikisource**, **Wikibooks** etc.
- **[books](book.md)**: Books are still of higher quality than online sources so you can [pirate](piracy.md) some and steal some facts from them. Check out Anna's archive, libgen, torrents etc.
- Wikisphere -- check out various wikis, there are thousands, a place to start searching is Wikiindex. Wikis like [installgentoowiki](https://wiki.installgentoo.com) and lurkmorewiki may offer interesting insight into internet/tech culture, many times also less censored facts.
- **[YouTube](youtube.md)**: Yes, sadly this is nowadays one of the biggest sources of information which is unfortunately hidden in videos full of ads and retarded zoomers, the information is unindexed. If you are brave enough, you can dig this information out and write it here as a proper text.
- [reddit](reddit.md): Sadly another SJW swamp of retards, however with many subcommunities almost about everything, if you have a question you can't find anywhere there is usually a subreddit where you can ask, if you dare.
- Try searching with different search engines than just Google (wiby, marginalia, Yandex, Bing, Yahoo, Internet Archive, ...).
- **old magazines**: If you can get your hands on old magazines somehow (physical, pdf, ...) about computers, cell phones, games etc., you may get a nice source of a lot of interesting, obscure and lost information. For example on the web it's impossible to find a good list of old games -- if you search for "top 50 old games", you get a list of complete shit games from 2015, which is now considered "old"; it's much better you get some old game magazine from say 2005 that lists top 50 games at the time. Furthermore these magazines are professionally made and actually [older](old.md), i.e. of better quality. You may also find nice gems, predictions of the future, politically incorrect articles etc.
- **Non-web**: When web fails, you can search the [darknet](darknet.md), [gopher](gopher.md), [gemini](gemini.md), [usenet](usenet.md), [tor](tor.md) etc.
