YSK:

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Link: lemon-manuals.la or lemon-manuals.org.ua

(Some people have issue connecting. LEMON is investigating. For now, use Firefox or change your DNS server)

No, our eyes have just been trained to ignore things like that since it looks like an ad placement upon first glance.

No prob! This is why i ADORE kagi. I find amazing shit like when the internet used to be great around its peak (05-2012 ish) and then I keep all of it.

The internet is trash now so mostly I keep my own documentation of everything in notes I keep backed up. The average clueless Googler is really a sad common thing now.

700 gb sounds like alot all text of Wikipedia is like 170 gb and I think that's uncompressed. Im assuming most of the manuals are stored as pdfs instead of text with pictures so it takes up more space.

Wiring diagrams aren't text, so there are probably images throughout.

RightHandOfIkaros 7 points 25 days ago

Only goes back to 1982, at least for Ford. Shame my car's manual isn't in there because of it.

EDIT: Lemon goes back far enough, but it appears these are text only, without pictures or diagrams? Why wouldn't they just have scans of the actual manuals?

Mondeo is larger than the Focus. Apparently the 4th gen Mondeo was sold as the Fusion in North America.

They only go back to the 80s. My 76 rolla and 56 Buick are not in the list.

Cool but the 56 Buick is missing still, goes to 1960 this time.

This is cool and I'm not downplaying it at all just being silly. I don't expect to find a service manual for something so old anyways. Plus the thing has like 4 moving parts and no electronics basically lol

Unfortunately seems to be very US-centric. Citroen is completely missing and Opel only goes up to 1979.

And for brands that have a US presence, very common European models are missing (Ford Fiesta, Toyota Avensis)

Lol I was excited for this and then clicked the page only to see the links for my vehicles were purple already but with no recollection of visiting this site before.

As a paper manual kind of guy, what do you guys do to better incorporate these digital manuals into your work? I try to avoid touching my phone with dirty or greasy hands/gloves. Maybe I need to setup a garage laptop...

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: **If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED!** We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.
