You could try Sci-Hub and LibGen. If you don't find what you're looking for, you can always email the authors or other scholars who may have access to the paper you're interested in. A less alternative site would be arXiv, but it just has preprints.

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a good FOSS PDF editor.

There's LibreOffice Draw, but as you said, it messes up the formatting. There's also Inkscape, but good luck if you have pages of text. You can also try Scribus, but I wouldn't say it's good (or intuitive).

If all you want to do is write over a PDF, put (not edit, nor remove) text, formulae, or images, then Xournal++ is very decent.

If I need to edit a PDF, I use (*gags*) Adobe Acrobat running in Wine (with Lutris is very easy). It's as proprietary and evil as it can be, but it's good at editing PDFs.

How to add a custom TLD? (lemmy.ml)

I've assigned domain names using a custom TLD to my home servers for ease of access.

When I put, say proxmox.server, in my address bar, it searches the web. To avoid that behavior, I have to specify http://proxmox.server.

I want Firefox to recognize .server as a valid TLD. I've searched the web to no avail, so that's why I'm writing this.

I came across this post in Stack Exchange, but the method described (ie, network.IDN.whitelist.server) doesn't work.

Does anybody know how can I add a custom domain to Firefox?

EDIT:

@[email protected] pointed out that there is a way to add nonstandard TLDs to Firefox: browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.yourdomain.yoursuffix.

It works, but a FQDN (with the imaginary TLD) is needed, that means it's not possible to whitelist all domains under a custom TLD. You need to add one entry per domain, that is: whitelist server1.mystuff, whitelist server2.mystuff, and so on.
