Am I crazy to distrust a .pdf and .epub only option hosted on github in 2026?

The author looks legit - or at least has contributions for over a year.

But github is free & idk if they scan user repos for malware

Are .pdfs and .epub safe these days?

You are not crazy, you make a valid point. But the truth is - the author (me) - was just lazy to upload it to something else and just wanted it published. I promise you I'm not trying to hack you :)

lmao, ok ty for the promise. good enough for me!

Ty for sharing your book, it's pretty fun

Depends on the viewer. Acrobat Reader? Probably not. PDF.js in some browser? Probably safe enough unless you are extremely rich.

.pdf files opened in a browser are safe for the most part.

How about uploading them on mega, dropbox, mediafire or some quickly done wix page? :D

[fristovic]

I can't do that from the terminal in 3 lines now, can I? ;)

Well, with Mega certainly. -> https://mega.io/cmd
