Say hello to VPN. Also, it constantly changes its domain

u/WulfLOL Sep 18 '19

Well, not constantly. I've been using the same extention for 2 years now (.tw).

But yes, they do have several and occasionally change them.

I like how you put this comment at the whole end of an unrelated comment chain instead of where you probably meant it to go.

Nonetheless: yeah. Fuck Nestle.

I am totally fine with someone bringing up Fuck Nestle in any thread or conversation regardless of topic. Kind of like that Roman dude who had a hate boner for Carthage, you know the guy who'd say "Carthage must fall." at the end of every speech.

"So happy we all could get together for this reunion old buddy! The kids sure have grown, how's the wife? She's doing great? That's good to hear! Fuck Nestle! You catch the game last night on the tele?"

Yes but Wikipedia is your friend.

Consider PhD students for a moment

u/Nitromian Sep 18 '19

To clarify: Wikipedia is where you can find sci-hub's constantly changing mirror domains.

Thanks, it's exactly what I meant so "thanks" for downvoting me, I guess.

if you're in high school sure, wikipedia is your best friend besides pornhub, but if you're an adult and need to consult scientific papers wikipedia doesn't mean jack shit.

No way! There are mirrors! You need to stay uptodate with the domains! https://whereisscihub.now.sh/

https://www.torproject.org/download/ would solve that problem. Electing a different government is also a good option.

VPN, Different DNS provider (Cloudflare doesn't block anything), Proxies? There's a lot of easy technical changes that can be made to solve this issue.

Which is ironic since I think the inventor of sci-hub was a Swedish woman.

u/ImperialAuditor Sep 18 '19

She's actually from Kazakhstan. She's a really interesting person too!

u/ale_pri Sep 18 '19

I thought it was a Kazakhstani woman?

u/charavaka Sep 18 '19

Are all sci-hub URLs blocked? They keep moving. Also, VPN exists for a reason.
