The DRM removal tool to remove DRM from ebooks was taken down from github and will most likely be taken down from gitlab soon as well. The more archives we have the better so im sharing the gitlab in hopes some Datahoarder types will archive it and keep it shared via torrents etc https://gitlab.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou

Heres an article about why it was taken down https://torrentfreak.com/internet-archive-targets-book-drm-removal-tool-with-dmca-takedown-230714/

Edit: does anyone here use https://radicle.xyz/ ? Its a p2p network built on top of git and could be a good way to host it while still being able to contribute to it besides making a .torrent for archiving

        I’d rather not have to create an account on every individual’s instance to report bugs or contribute.

        GitHub is low barrier to me - where I can easily contribute. Because I’m already there, actively. Everything else is medium to high barrier to contribute.

      for visibility, also codeberg is quite hostile to piracy related tools and whatnot, gitea is quite small not many instances and it gets unwanted attention. if they self-host, that’s even more risky because domain names, hosting etc can get tracked down to the owner. decentralized solutions are the best for these kind of things
