Question trying to find Caesar III

Post image
49 Upvotes

Hi! I was trying to find this game, Caesar III. I played it a lot when i was a kid. But I lost the installer disc I had.
I was looking at different free versions online (maybe a portable one), but they all seem kind of shady.
Does anyone know any sites or links where I can download a safe copy?

PD: The Pharaoh Version would also be nice; if I remember, it was very similar.

Quad9 is leaving France over pirate site blocking orders, which makes it the second DNS resolver to leave the country.

Quad9 will stop serving French users on November 24, after a Paris court set a €1,000 daily penalty for not blocking pirate tennis streams.

Faced with this order and roughly 20 other pending French cases, Quad9 says that it has no other viable option left.

Discussion Seems like DODI Repacks is rebranding

110 Upvotes

They have recently updated their YouTube channel's name to "Maro Releases" from "DODI Releases".

This comes after a recent post in which DODI mentioned handing over repacking to a new team.

A moderator said this about the new team:

"Both of them are old experienced repackers in fileforums community"

Was DODI sold, or rebranded? What do y'all think?

Question In light of the PHP2Shell vulnerability crisis, when will it be safe to use the 🏴‍☠️ streaming sites?

12 Upvotes

I know a lot of these sites use PHP as part of their programming language and I know nothing of how they’re run in terms of being able to patch things so out of an abundance of caution as a barely tech literate person who can’t afford to get scammed or whatever, I thought I’d ask people who have to know better than me

Question Open Research?

4 Upvotes

Conducting research for graduate school and I'm getting frustrated with finding great articles only to release they're locked behind a journal access site with a paywall that my school doesn't have a subscription to. I think it's messed up that research, which is conducted for the express purpose of furthering humanity's knowledge, isn't available to the general public.

For now I've just had to keep digging on free sites until I find a relevant article, but does anyone know of a way to access research that's locked behind a paywall for free?

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone, v1.70b of the native Calibre book downloader plugin (calibre-lib) is now live.

This release integrates Bookracy as a secondary backend provider alongside mirrors to

automatically catch failed downloads and unreachable servers.

first, falling back to Title and Author matching.

• Queue Retry Action: One-click recovery button in the Queue tab to immediately retry failed

books via the secondary provider.

• Live Fallback Toggle: Checkbox right on the Queue toolbar to switch auto-failover on the fly.

• Isolated Configuration: Dedicated provider settings group in Calibre Preferences keeping

mirror configs clean.

Installation and Upgrade:

  1. Download libgen_downloader.zip from the latest release on GitHub:

https://github.com/7sarus/calibre-lib/releases/tag/v1.70b

  1. In Calibre, navigate to Preferences -> Plugins -> Load plugin from file.
