I'll start by plugging Harvard's free courses catalog as well as Udemy

Edit: Gonna add 2 more I remembered-

Blender - I wish I had more time to learn it, but I did start the infamous "Donut Tutorial" once!

Watch Cartoons Online - Lots of good older stuff!

some of my favourite audiobooks are from there.

Go on...

Public domain audiobooks, read by members of the community. It's a beautiful thing - which is why AI scrapers seem currently determined to tear it down.

That's not what I meant; I meant to go on with your specific favorites, what you listen to on there.

What @Endymion_[email protected] said seems to be correct, they apparently have some problems right now, I can't reach the website. It worked yesterday, when I posted the link. I'll try again later to link some I like, I hope they are able to resolve the problems soon.

Having looked at the forum, they seem to be under attack by a swarm of AI scrapers. If anyone can help them defend against the attack, please do so.

Oh, that sucks. This is why we can't have nice things.

Sadly, yeah. Unfortunately, I'm not really capable of sounding the alarm, and whoever runs the Xwitter page for Librivox have not posted anything in over a year. They should be crying out for aid, but there's crickets in the public eye.
