when i mean janky it does and serves its purpose but my code isnt cleaned up and theres alot of redundant code - im currently doing a rewrite and when that is done i will release it
the namecheap domain was bought using fake details on a paypal that had no card connected to it - but i understand which is why i bought a .ru domain from cheapprivacy.ru
ive made nothing from the advertisement on the home page - instead we were donated a server by snowcore to act as our proxy and caching server. No monetary gain has come from the advertisement and the storage server is paid out of pocket since we havent gotten much donations yet
our whole model is to be easily self hostable and open source - just like movie-web (who had devs openly showing their names and faces ect in their github profiles)
as for my bad opsec im just a hobbyist developer who is contributing to an open source project for fun - nothing else can be proven
Bookracy doesn’t exploit the copyrighted material for financial gain, unlike typical piracy websites that might sell access to pirated content or host popup / redirect ads for profit
And for the part of me commiting a crime its always innocent until proven guilty - if it can be proven im storing the books fair play but weve taken precautions against that paying through crypto bulletproof servers ect
since its open source and the backend will be open source in the future (after i rewrite) i can still step away from the project and everything can be taken and hosted by a different person
only the frontend is vunerable to takedowns - our backend server is proxied thro a bulletproof hosting provider (our sponsor snowcore) masking the ip of the storage server thus making it not vunerable to takedowns
decentralisation isnt the only way to be immune to takedowns theres many more but i get your point
