The previous thread is at 499 posts, on the brink of autosage. So I open up a new one, because I have a thing to discuss as well with Bernd. But first thing first.

Finally I wanna watch these in their entirety, a series of Japanese films from the 70s The Yakuza Papers or Battles Without Honor And Humanity - which is also the title of the very first one.
I think the first five (what I'm planning on consuming) cover one full story, based on an OG yak's memoirs, published in a newspaper first. Then they made another three in the 70s, all standalone, and three more, two of them in this millennia.
They are in a certain subgenre of yakuza movies, which were fresh breeze at that time with their more realistic narrative and breakup with the "honorable samurai" romanticism of the previous era. They are also filmed in a documentary style, with handheld shaky cameras, and sometimes they even timestamp certain events as the movie plays - as far as I can tell based on the first one which I seen (but will rewatch).

Brand new show is out there (two episodes aired for now it seems), The Republic of Dave Sarah. The cast is properly diverse, with a story dominated by stronk women, but the premise of story made me thought this might be worth a look (I haven't yet).
So the background is that a small town just at the border of Canada and the US lays on an area which isn't really claimed by either country, and the residents want to stop some evil company to do drilling for some resource there, exploiting this particular detail.
Maybe it would be better as a comedy, but they made a drama. We'll see.

> So input IPA instead of english for translation?
Oh no, I mean for the letters used to represent sounds when the language is typed/written.
For example, if a word includes a "TH" sound, such as the one used in "that", it would be written with an IPA "ð"

Let's post something more substantial, we're gonna read about a crime for Christmas.
The crime is the murder of duke Béla, ruler of Macsó and Bosnia, at that time (13th century) parts of the Kingdom of Hungary.

The idea was given by an article in this blog:
https://mttmuzeum.blog.hu/2018/12/17/80_ev_utan_kerultek_elo_az_arpad-hazi_herceg_elveszettnek_hitt_csontmaradvanyai
The historical background was presented very awfully so that's my own work as in I read some secondary sources and wrote the text below but for the stuff about the bones I used this article exclusively, I got most of the pictures from there too. At the end the author notes this article was based on another in an archaeological magazine.

The origin of the story is twofold. Once there is the ideal of the western chivalric knight and the other root is in the eastern scytho-hunnic culture. And not just the motif of the bride kidnapping, there are some goldsmithing work of art which depicts similar themes.

There are interesting bug that can explain "nobody is there": link on main /kc/ page to IRC is wrong (at least for me):

https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=%endchan

It opens web UI with #%endchan channel as default, so, if user doesn't know about all these channels, he'll get into empty channel.

It is pretty strange, because link on thread page (i.e. /kc/res/...) is ok: https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=endchan

Link on main page is also ok, although it has different case: https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=Endchan
IRC channels are case-sensitive by RFC, but looks like rizon or web ui ignore it (don't know who doing it though, looks like UI).

I don't understand why there are different links - do this site really has different top headers, at least in board/channel interface? They look same, so why different templates? 

But whatever, here is the possible problem.

They had a large impact. But - if being unbiased - I can't say categorically they were bad for Central Eastern Europe. I don't know what would have happened without them, so no basis of comparison. I know however what's going on now and I believe it could be so much better. If I define "better" as a more independent, self reliant Central Eastern Europe, with higher living standards (although I see problems with this living standard thing - for example being indebted forever and capable to buy a new iShit and bluetooth refrigerator every month and having three cars per family counts as higher living standards?)
Could have been the nations turning on each other here prevented? No. Different constellations of the nations could have rise (instead of Czechoslovakia or Yugoslavia), but simply just the "who will be the top dog in this region" would have caused wars, most likely with the tint of ethnic hatred after the birth of the third large political ideology, the nationalism.
I don't blame nationalism, because it is great for uniting people to act together for a common goal based on common interest. But it's easy to fall over to the other side of the horse and hate on the other group just because it's another group. And lotsa people don't have that maturity to see that other people can love their own, how we love ours, and respect that, and can't see that cooperation can exist between these groups.
So Habsburgs exploiting this shortcomings of the people, especially in those times when nationalism was young and it was very much alive, its flames rising high, is unfortunate but it's just a different kind of bad.

Do you know why there is a red dragon on the welsh flag? It's like some secret among the welsh. It's because of Merlin, as in the wizard from the round table of king Arthur. Lord Vortigern,a warlord of the time, was attempting to build a castle in dinas emrys. The building works kept getting destroyed by mysterious forces so Vortigern sought advice from those with an understanding of magical forces. Merlin, a young magic half-ling at the time, told of two warring dragons that lived in the hill, one red and one white. Vortigern dug them out and they battled to the death and the red dragon won.

I'm looking for somewhere on the Dark Web where people have collated a massive database of eBooks (and poss. also audiobooks, lectures, etc.) w/o adherence to any [archaic] rules of copyright. I started with piratebay (TPB) for books, where a few individuals have made their own library compilations, but noticed there are MANY books (esp. mathematical/philosophical/scientific) on the Z-library (https://b-ok.cc/) that I cannot find on TPB. Unfortunately, one can only DL a single book (and a restriction of only 10 books in one 24hr period) from Z-library. So, wishing to DL entire search results at a time, I was wondering if there's a more efficient way - a place where "I click (but do not drag) zee button that says
DOWNLOAD"...
and pref. ALL books from an entire category (or at least a search result) in one go? I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

PS I'm a complete n00b to the Dark Web (this is my first time even visiting a forum on it), so 
1. if anyone can direct me (more specifically than dark.fail) to a site with massive compilations of academic content, then I can be out of everyone's hair, as...
2. it seems this is not quite the right forum* for such a request; if so, my apologies.

* On that note, what is the idea of this site? Most posts are just of pics of rather attractive women. Steganographic images, perhaps? Or just media interest? Bit more varied on this thread.

PPS Feel free to email me (qhat@protonmail.com) as I don't know if I'll see anyone's response. Thanks.

PPPS Apparently needed a pic to post, so... some idea of sort of books I'd like to DL - Q Computing! lol

> Something like libgen is good enough for most people, but that only seems to have fiction books (e.g. no results at all for "Quantum")

Libgen is mostly about different academic books. How did you search? There are 8k results

https://libgen.is/search.php?req=quantum&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&res=25&phrase=1&column=def

> and multiple books (or ALL books) downloadable in a few clicks.

Do you really need large amount or randomized nonsense that mostly duplicates itself? You also can't read so much anyway, so it is easier to download few recommended books instead of everything.

But if you really want, there are torrents for some collections. Like libgen (text version) on rutracker (500gb).

Main problem is simple - if you want to have multiple collection of books of different type, you need to have community of specialists, and community of specialists wouldn't work on copyrighted books with restricted access because it is tedious task without reward. At least in non-computer spheres of knowledge.

Reminds me the imageboard preppers who hoard informationals and survival books to "prepare" for some kind of catastrophe or big collapse. And they don't realize all those stuff would be useless at the moment when the problem arises. They would be better off with one book - what they read and test in practice before the shit hits the fan. Then if they have the time, they could process another one.
I have a large collection of e-books, but I only downloaded once in bulk, which contained liek 2-300 books, and they are all fiction, "best sellers" or some such shit were they are. It's useless if I don't know what I'm getting.

Its endchan. Its a forum where various boards are run by the users and dedicate it to whatever topic they want. You need to picture other boards as a somewhat separate entities. 
On /kc/ we have discussions on a rather broad spectrum of topics. If you look around you'll probably get it how it is here.

Good day,

I think we all know what happened to Kohl by now. As by now I'm lost, without a place to call home. But I see this place has potential so I'm thinking to become active here.

I really don't want to be intrusive tho so I thought it would be appropriate to ask for the customs, memes and culture in general that you have in here since I saw some comments saying this wasn't like kohl.

Anyway, thanks for your attention.
