Ask HN: Anyone looking for contributors for their open source projects
I'd like to make a pitch for Openlibrary.org the free online library from Internet Archive that includes a fulltext search of millions of books.
I've been volunteering with them on and off for several years and it's always a lovely experience. Their backend is python and frontend mostly from python templates and some Vue for librarian stuff.
Every Tuesday they have a call on Zoom that everyone is welcome to join to share what they're working on, ask for help, and generally chat a bit. It's a great time.
Depending on what you're interested in there's a lot to do from helping build import pipelines for more book entries, writing bots to cleanup data, Performance improvements, better documenting public APIs, etc
I'm currently slowly working on a wikidata integration for their authors page. We also could use some help upgrading to Vue 3, mentors for Google summer of code would be helpful, find of ML projects needing help, moving away from old jQuery libraries, etc.
They can be quite responsive to PRs too like I blogged about here: https://blog.rayberger.org/idea-to-merged-in-less-than-30-mi...
For example, here's a small issue that could use some help on the python side: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/8928

Building an Open Source Decentralized E-Book Search Engine
OpenLibrary does provide search access to full texts. For example: https://openlibrary.org/search/inside?q=%22institutional+thi...
It is open source and they're always looking for contributors. I think they'd especially welcome help improving search!

Searching for a pharmacy book
I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries such as Sci-Hub, Z-Library, Library Genesis, Anna’s Archive, and PDF Drive. Additionally, I've checked Torrent Search Engines like The Pirate Bay and BTDigg. Moreover, I've searched in Internet Archive and its Open Library but again I had no luck. However, I haven't yet explored software-based libraries. Finally I've looked into the Ebay if anyone had the particular book but it looks like both the versions are quite rare, because the book was meant to be only for Pharmarcist and especially for American ones.

AI-generated books create a dumpster fire on Amazon and Goodreads
There are tons of them available.
Here's the Creative Commons Search portal: https://search.creativecommons.org/
I tried Openverse and Europeana. Some of these appear to categorize eBooks as "images", or perhaps they are just promotional images for unfree books. Tens of thousands of results.
Here's a Google Books search. I was unable to find a "search for license" type thing, but you can search for "Fully viewable" or "Google eBooks only":
https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=-copyright&tbs...
My father loves HathiTrust, and so do many other people who love freedom: https://www.hathitrust.org/
Of course you know the Internet Archive and Open Library: https://openlibrary.org/
Never forget the O.G. PD site, Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/
Also, while it is not the written word, it is based on awesome freely-available books, and perhaps you could consider adding to the library at LibriVox: https://librivox.org/search?primary_key=0&search_category=au...
My classmates at school ate this stuff up when I volunteered that there are sites where you can find awesome public domain reference material that's often better-quality than the paywalled stuff you pay for.
Don't forget the Open Textbooks and freely licensed academic materials. Community colleges and universities will direct you to those.

Bookwyrm – the federated social network for reading books
Wow, I just realided Open Library covers like 80% of Goodreads as well: read/to-read lists, ratings, yearly reading goals. Seems like https://openlibrary.org itself would be a find Goodreads alternative if you don't want to set up your own Bookwyrm instance.

Firefox Address Bar Tips

Where do you people find ebooks there days?
PDFDrive.com is no longer viable but as others have pointed out, PDFDrive.to and OceanofPDF.com are still active. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I go to the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/inlibrary and https://openlibrary.org/) for downloads. It is possible to download a PDF (instead of 1 hour online loan) and used the procedure shown in https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/l9exis/how_to_download_books_from_archive_org_and_how_to/ reliably.

Kodi on FireStick & Chromecast, etc
Even Kodi-centred distributions like OSMC or LibreELEC do not have Kodi as an operating system but as a program that runs on top of an underlying OS. Kodi’s code can be compiled for many operating systems and platforms but it’s not an OS. There’s no need for it, it overcomplicates chtings.

Ask HN: Flac/MP3 listeners: How do you store/play your music?
Honestly? I use https://beets.io/ to organise all my FLAC on my NAS.
I expose the /Music directory over NFC.
I use https://kodi.tv/ to stream music to my amp. I manually pick the album I want to listen to.
Kodi also has a fairly reasonable web UI.
Keep it simple.

Favourite open-source apps?

Hardware acceleration on old laptop CPU?
For example, the Jellyfin AndroidTV app won’t direct play a lot of my media so it has to transcode. So I now use the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon on Kodi and I’ve never had to transcode.
