Have you tested that the vpn actually works with mlb.tv? I know, as an nba fan, trying to get a vpn that works with league pass is exceedingly difficult.
Have you checked the author doesn’t have it linked on her researchgate or lab website? As in, it might already be available, just not easily searchable.
Considering the version you were given by the author could be watermarked in some way, and they could get into shit from a publisher if you uploaded it for mass retrieval, you ought not to do this without their express permission. It’s different if you had downloaded the article from a journal/database yourself, or if it was some other version (like an unformatted manuscript).
Potentially, I suppose. But then most people who want a pirated copy of an article are probably looking for something with at least the right pagination – makes citation easier. So it depends on how much effort you’re willing to give to that endeavour haha. Anything is better than nothing in a pinch though.
It might be possible to embed that metadata in the target as well. If I were doing this I would copy and paste the text off into some editor that only supports raw text like notepad, then use screenshots of any images, then reassemble them into a “clean” version by hand. I would also probably not ever do this because that’s a giant pain.
I think that very much depends on what sort of article/chapter, what publisher, and what the nature of the copy the author has is (e.g. preprint, journal published version download, unpublished Word manuscript, etc.) It’s hard to make any true generalisations here.
hey if you want a router these do exactly what you are asking for glinet routers these are openwrt which is an opensource firmware basically. on them theya ready come configured with vpn adguard and everything. i have it so that is 2 different wifis like you said home and the glinet one but i use it as a vpn in my home with ddns or proton vpn for say Switzerland. it has a switch and i set as left side being home and right vpn
I’d start with getting a OpenWRT-compatible router and flash the OpenWRT firmware onto it. You do NOT need to replace the modem. Looks like you already did that but with Tomato. Honestly, nevermind then, this comment is redundant.
It took me about 2 hours to do the whole setup with a tplink Archer wifi router hardware, I got it for about $40 used on Ebay.
@RootBeerGuy@kia I know it costs a shit ton, and the only people who ever seem to read it are the other people quoting it, and its just as much bullshit as every other IP.
Yeah it’s not so much about cost in my eyes. The conferences I publish at are in the $500-$1000 range to attend once your paper gets accepted, not cheap but not too crazy, and grants take care of that cost anyways.
I was saying it’d be more of a curtousy for you to get permission before distributing.
