PDF Share

Sharing is caring. Share all books related to /diy/, design, mechanics, chemistry, electronics, etc. I'll upload from time to time some great books that I have downloaded over the years. I hope it helps you fellow laions

Not to hate but how many share threads did we have and where are they? Wouldnt it be better to chose some place some persistent place to upload and categorize? Seems like a huge waste of time and bandwith imo.

Oh, and try to upload as much pdfs as possible, so this thread will last as long as possible, to make it something similar to an archive. Also, sorry for the massive size of some pdfs, but there is little I can do about them. Does someone how could I compress them _correctly_ (losslessly) to upload them here? Some are over 40mb One question, could someone erase a watermark in a chemistry pdf? The watermark is basically a sentence across every page, I am sure it would just require some editing in the raw pdf code. Cheers Laions >>302 I do agree with you. I though about uploading it somewhere else and then linking it here. However, it is always nice to have the pdfs presented to you instead of a link that will lead you to the download. Here goes a terrible idea (bandwith consumption would be huge), but we, laions, could create a searchable and comprehensive archive with all the pdfs that are continuously uploaded to lain; allowing for quality checks and organization, but back again, it would take a massive amount of space (compared to how much content is usually available in the entire website 20Gb~) and loads of bandwith due to continuous downloads.>>302

i finally have something to contribute!

>>444 Much appreciated, anon.

>>444 Nice! Thanks

>>455 Whoever did that book art deserves a million raises

>>483 In fairness, don't read. Watch. Sage for off topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGluTpM7_K8&t=2s&list=LLSpTX9Mcc8UaDaEByGiODng&index=22

Anyone got PDFs on lockpicking?

>>506 There's a thread on /sec/ that you might find useful. https://lainchan.org/sec/res/332.html

>>506 Ask and you shall receive. First attachment Central Intelligence Agency CIA Lock Picking Field Operative Training Manual There has been much opinion and little fact written on the subject of lock picking. It is the purpose of this book to clarify the facts about this delicate process, and at the same time to train you in proper procedure. Reading this book is certainly enough to get you started picking simple locks, but remember: a great deal of time and patience are needed to become a truly proficient locksmith. In this volume, you will learn the fundamental theories of lock picking in addition to proper terminology, the importance of tool design (i.e. how to select and use the right tool for a given job), the effects of tolerances, and finally the techniques most commonly used by locksmiths to successfully pick the vast majority of standard pin and wafer tumbler locks. Lock picking is a useful, engaging, and satisfying skill; with this book and a little determination, you'll be off to a great start. Second attachment Deviant Ollam Practical Lock Picking A Physical Penetration Tester’s Training Guide 2nd Edition For the first time, Deviant Ollam, one of the security industry's best-known lockpicking teachers, has assembled an instructional manual geared specifically toward penetration testers. Unlike other texts on the subject (which tend to be either massive volumes detailing every conceivable style of lock or brief "spy manuals" that only skim the surface) this book is for INFOSEC professionals that need essential, core knowledge of lockpicking and seek the ability to open most locks with relative ease. Deviant's material is presented with rich, detailed diagrams and is offered in easy-to-follow lessons which allow even beginners to acquire the knowledge very quickly. Everything from straightforward lockpicking to quick-entry techniques like shimming, bumping, and bypassing is explained and shown.Whether you're being hired to penetrate security or simply trying to harden your own defenses, this book is essential. Detailed photos make learning as easy as picking a lock DVD is filled with indispensible lock picking videos and color photos Extensive appendix details tools and toolkits currently available for all your lock picking needs Also checkout the resources on his website http://deviating.net/lockpicking/ Third attachment Advanced Lock Picking Secrets - Steven Hampton - Paladin Press This advanced manual brings locksmithing into the electronic age, with schematic diagrams for portable electronic picks to open magnetic key and card locks plus templates for making custom tools not available on the commercial market. Tips on enhancing finger sensitivity, increasing concentration power, constructing practice lock boxes and more will help you master the art and science of lock picking.

>>506 First attachment EN-The Complete Guide To Lockpicking - Eddie the Wire - Loompanics Learn how to open all kinds of locks, plus how to thwart tampering with locks to protect your valuables. This book is intended for legal entry only, but you'll gain confidence knowing that you can get in through any door without a key! For Academic Study Only Second attachment The document formerly known as the MIT Guide to Lock Picking See http://www.capricorn.org/~akira/home/lockpick/mitlg-a4.pdf for a mirror MIT Guide to Lock Picking, written by the mysterious Ted The Tool. This primer was first published in 1987 and has been floating around various websites for the past two decades. And it's still considered an essential introduction to the art of picking locks. Third attachment Hans Conkel How To Open Locks With Improvised Tools Practical, Non-Destructive Ways Of Getting Back Into Just About Everything When You Lose Your Keys Practical, real-world solutions to lockouts. Learn to open doorknobs, deadbolts, car doors, padlocks, handcuffs, et cetera. This book sold out as "Lock Bypass Methods," and has proven to be the best manual on keyless entry available. Since your resources are usually on the other side of the door when you're locked out, it shows how to improvise tools from garbage and common, everday items. Multiple entrance options are provided in case of stubborn doors or limited materials. Thousands of people have successfully opened doors using techniques they learned in "Lock Bypass Methods." This expanded edition has more illustrations and new techniques. This book will not waste your time trying to explain how to pick sidebar locks, or activate magnetic-stripe readers without a key card. It DOES explain how to open doors protected by these locks, simply and without damage, through bypass techniques. A latch holds something shut, and a lock is a gateway to that latch. This book teaches ways to climb over the fence and ignore the gate. You will learn how to pick locks, a skill that works 60-70% of the time. More importantly, you will learn methods to trip actuators, move linkage rods, take advantage of mechanical design flaws, exploit tolerances in a lock's setting, and other practical means of entry. The book's focus is on problem solving, not presenting methods that are too difficult to accomplish. Many other books in this field suffer from too much theory and too little delivery. If it doesn't work, it isn't in here. This book is designed to give the reader skills that open locks without keys or damage. It is not a whitewashed or glossed-over set of instructions that leave a reader feeling as if failure is his fault and he just hasn't developed some special esoteric talent. Difficulties encountered in opening methods are identified, explained, and solutions are given to cope with them. The book is clearly written and illustrated, and covers problem solving, how locks work, picking, bypassing, and tool making. If you are interested in opening locks without keys, you should have this book. Additional resources include http://lockpickernetwork.wikidot.com/ which is wiki for TOLG - Beyond the MIT lock picking guide, for people wanting to make the succesor to the MIT lock picking guide. http://www.gregmiller.net/locks/ Greg Miller's Guide to Lock Picking for Beginners which is a guide to learning lock picking that recommends some of the materials posted here. and https://murdercube.com/files/Spy%20Craft/Unauthorized%20Entry%20and%20Physical%20Security/ https://murdercube.com/files/Locksmithing/ resources from the murdercube repository.

>>517 >>518 Nice, thanks chummer.

anyone have any thing on engines and cars?

i have to confess that i maintain an unhealthy amount of downloaded but unreaded books

>>804 I suspect all of us on this website do.

>>805 Confirming. I think that maintaining a large personal PDF library is important. You never know if this knowledge will become inaccessible in the future for whatever reason.

>>455 I can attest to this book being quality I studied electrical soykaf for two years and my flatmate caught up to me in knowledge about analogue circuitry after reading this

>>809 I downloaded wikipedia about 10 years ago Another thing related that I'm not sure if others do, I have a SATA dock usb'd to me computer and a literal library of 16-64GB HDDs scavenged from work that I use like DVD's to store textbooks and stuff

does anyone have any moderately recent pdfs of stuff that go over kvm or qemu? most online resources are a bit out of date and i'd love to dig into it more

Does anyone happen to have a PDF of this? I'm struggling in my data structures class and this is the recommended text book for it, would be a big help!

>>2757 First 3 docs I'm surprised there's not much chemistry PDFs going around. Can anybody provide please? The fourth PDF (Impro. Munitions) contains some basic makeshift chemistry but it's clearly not the best.. I had a physical 50s chemistry A3-sized classbook that described hydrocarbon reprocessing and other cool stuff like sulfuric and nitric acid production. Also looking for a chemistry thread if there's one.

These are a couple of books that will get anyone started on networking; I recommend reading the theory book (the textbook) and then the other PDF (bgnet) which details C unix socket programming so you can properly apply it.

Anyone have books on pneumatic and hydraulic system? And thank you all for the high quality downloads here, my lisp library is a little bigger now too.

Anyone got books on radio transmitters? This thread shouldn't die.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. I haven't finished it yet but it's good and will probably be of interest to a few laions. (It's pretty long)

https://libretexts.org/ Includes a number of textbooks in various subjects(mathematics, computer science, chemistry, physics,etc) along with their various subdivisions(ex. Analysis, differential equations for math, organic chemistry, networking etc) What's more is that all of the textbooks compiled here can be read online without the need to download anything, make an account,etc. Thought it might be of interest since many academic texts were posted here.

>>2822 Landau-Lifschitz is always a timeless classic.

Anyone got something on principles & practice of manufacturing basic electrical components? I know how to make a battery and a capacitor but diodes & transistors are much more difficult.

are there any books that teach Science stuff that is moderately practical or applicable to life that i can actually learn on my own with zero equipment? A lot of science books mostly have the aim to just teach college students with the assumption they can conduct whatever experiment or learning exercise and also to prep them for graduate school or white collar work

Some Perl books I like. 1 - My favorite Perl book of all time. Target audience is *NIX users, beginners and veterans. Has a silly Perlistan story. 2 - Self-explanatory; Tons of useful Perl one-liners.

Here are two open source tools I have found in my internet travels, and a pdf about homemade windmills in Nebraska.

This is a pdf on do it yourself coolers which I though would be helpful consider 2023 is shaping up to be the hottest year since 1850 so I figured it was appropriate.

>>10593 >Using an engine block to make a lathe Might as well just make/buy a lathe with proper bearings.

>>11164 If any lainons are interested in this, here's a video series of someone going through this book for the first time, so you know what you're up against: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9d6LkFNP1fGjdW2RxqSHdSO9D1FEl36c As cool as the Gingery books are, I've got them on my shelf and love to leaf through them from time to time, they're honestly rather out of date as practical projects. They're from a bygone era where precision components were much rarer and scrap was much more plentiful. He even advises fabricating your own squareness jig in the place of buying a 1-2-3 block that's one to two orders of magnitude more useful for today's price of pennies on the dollar. Nowadays, you're probably better off just buying a chinesium import over burning countless hours scraping in casts, spending money on whatever stock he assumed you could find for free, and still getting a worse tool at the end of the day. About the only thing the Gingery lathe has over cheap imports is swing (though without rigidity and restricted to a faceplate without yet more chasing your own tail around flatness and twist how big is the usable swing really?), and it's not by enough to justify the rest of it imho. You should do smaller parts while learning anyway. If I was to actually attempt this, I'd start by redesigning it to be both even bigger, sturdier, and to take advantage of cheap modern parts, and then I'd finish the castings mostly on my chinesium lathe and mill to cut the time wasted scraping by well over half. Then I'd have an inexpensive large lathe for the biggest parts, reliable (with maintenance) small lathe and mill for precision work, and a real amateur casting project under my belt for hopefully less than the opportunity cost of just buying a small professional lathe or hunting down and repairing some old iron. I haven't even done that, though, because I'm still not confident it'd be good enough to justify over other more unique projects.

>>11165 >I'd start by redesigning it to be both even bigger, sturdier, and to take advantage of cheap modern parts That's the plan (>>11169). The question is where to source off the shelf parts.

>>8034 Aah man , I so want to learn make explosives , weapons etc..

>>11165 In a wartime scenario or other long-term disaster, it might be difficult or impossible to order inexpensive precision parts, so the Gingery books would be very good to have around just as they are. In the meantime, you have a point.

>>301 I've been going through a medical phase. Hopefully you never have to implement these. I'll be posting links to the bigger textbooks

If anyone has requests/reccomendations then I can try to find something.
