This is not the first time, there are repacks with ads even malware and I take action now to protect people using this clown repacks. His page are riddled with ads, false information and there are a lot of lies.
About this commit:
This commit is NOT to roast his work, in fact I respect some of his work (not all) but doing Warez for money is a no-go and it's an undeniable fact that money is what he ultimately want, he does it not for fun or to help the scene, his main intention always was to get a personal benefit out of it.
I do believe we have better repackers who doing this actually only to help and this is what this repo is about. List people/groups who do it for the scene not to gain something out of it. Donations are of course no problem because they are optional and to show respect and appreciation.
This been said, I will take a closer look at all repackers and check their background more frequently.
Please do not roast this group or individual persons now or make a drama out of it, just ignore and block such pages, that's the best you can do to show your disrespect. Talking about them only helps them to get more attention which is the opposite such groups/sites/people deserve.
This is basically a "political decision" and I do not make exceptions .. except when I do!
There are 23 mentions of HTTP in the Readme.md and they stay until I found a reliable alternatives, the reason why they are still on the list is that there are no secure alternatives or no alternatives at all.
Why de-list HTTP pages in the first place?
I keep it short:
- Quality over quantity (we have enough secure alternatives [in most cases])
- Speed reasons, modern pages and encryption methods loading faster.
- Security reasons
- You get a certificate for free e.g. via Let's Encrypt, so think about it.. Why is someone not going to secure his own domain/website? If you cannot even secure your page then please think about the quality of their releases and their true intention why the website was created in the first place (maybe just to get clicks, fame, fake website etc). There are exceptions like libgen and firtgirl (only some examples), they are trusted by a lot of people but still getting de-listed. I believe pointing the finger on them might force them to change their website and call them out. People might now start asking the right question.
The cleanup will continue over the following weeks, the goal would be to only list secure, open source & reliable + trusted websites/tools & scripts from more or less trusted websites that are monitored by lots of people.

Oh, don't worry, just wait for fake update ala 1.20.1 (bugfix).
> If you support a dev, you're the worst of the worst, according to the community. The names I've been called in threads where I give devs support is worse than the shit I get called in real life (Indigenous person living in Canada.). The toxicity of the overall community needs to change, and the intelligence level needs to come up considerably. Maybe we should go back to the days of when this stuff was all hidden and invite only and people were vetted to gain access.
Boy, that's the smartest thing I ever read on p-reddit, sure thing. Greed, toxicity and several other reasons is why you better support people in the background because people will abuse everything they find out about you, even if it's positive just to find "weaknesses". It's like The Walking Dead out there, I'm not even joking here.
Rick Grimes:
"Because it's all about survival now. At any cost. People out there are always looking for an angle. Looking to play on your weakness. They measure you by what they can take from you. By how they can use you to live. So bringing people into a place like this now..." - Season 5 Episode 12
