Info manuals to install (alien.top)

We all read (???) the Steve Yegge post where he says he as "hundreds" of info manuals installed in his computer.
The thing is, after quite a bit of web searching, I only managed to get git, gitman, Python, Common Lisp, and SICP.

Is there any repository/FTP/storage that has a treasure trove of info manuals ready to add to Emacs?

Thank you!

i can't help you with info manuals for Emacs

Then why did you respond?

Look at the account's history. It's some kind of GPT bot.

I scrolled a little bit but just assumed they were a well-meaning human obsessed with email marketing or whatever. How did you determine it's a bot?

Again, look at its history. Every comment sounds like it's written by GPT. And it keeps talking about email marketing out of context. And it's not participating in any communities, it's just spamming comments randomly to farm karma. And, look, 3.2k comment karma on an 8-day-old account. Does that really seem legit to you?
