  • i didnt kno this would cause so much backlash 😭 we only set it as russian federation as jokes i can change it to north korea if you want it doesnt mean the project is from there

    also anyone can register .ru domains, i got mine from cheapprivacy.ru where i paid in crypto - an .ru domain along with .su and .to are one of the best domains for piracy since they are very lax and ignore most takedown requests

  • no having a .ru domain is just precaution for takedown requests - ive been in the piracy game for quite a while and the tld's that are normally immune to takedown requests are .su .ru .to and .li I didnt know having a .ru domain would be this controversial and the github is only set to russian federation because of the .ru domain we have - if you check all the devs the times they are awake would all me western times

  • the twitter was made by someone else on my team and isnt even used anymore

  • we arent monetizing the site - we still need a way to fund the project and snowcore have kindly agreed to give use a bulletproof server that we use for caching and proxying between our storage server

    all money ever donated or gained is invested back into the project - we arent making anything

  • i can assure you this isnt a fed op lmao. idk how i can convince you maybe check out the github and check out the devs? some devs are from other big projects like movie-web ect that got taken down.

    plus downloads arent hidden behind registration, and we are addnig accounts in the future but its going to be mullvad style - a 12 digit unique identifier so privacy wise theres nothing tying you to the downloads except your ip, which we also dont save so you are fine

  • i meant annoying ad free as in no redirect or popup ads - we still need a way to fund the project since donations are scarce

  • having a .ru domain is just precaution against takedowns - none of the devs are russian its just the west and russia dont get along so takedown requests for a .ru domain would be ignored by russia

  • our model is just like the old movie-web, we are open source and if we are DMCA'd then we will take it down but our mirrors will still be up but i understand the opsec point and may move from discord to signal

  • yep im planning on setting up an ipfs node and torrents for our own collections are planned for the future

  • i said annoying ad-free i should have clarified i meant no popup or redirect ads - and yes there are plans for scaling and we have a few different services like you saw sponsoring the project aswell

  • No its not a libgen mirror - we have our own collections and are torrenting from libgen + zlib aswell - and backend is going to be open sourced in the future once its finished and ready - right now the code is very janky and im too embarassed to release it lol. Theres still alot of additions to do to the backend and once that is done I will release.

    We also have a telegram and signal group - the discord was just for my existing community who are primarily discord users aswell

  • also no Bookracy is not decentralised - it operates on centralized servers much like LibGen ect. This means that while it’s open-source and community-driven, our infrastructure still relies on traditional hosting, which can be vulnerable to takedowns or disruptions. However we've taken precautions for this and have a bulletproof proxy server which also caches inbetween the storage server and client

  • Introducing a new open-source shadow library!

  • Is there any Upside over NexusSTC? Is it decentralised? bookracy has faster and unlimited downloads, lack of popup/redirect ads, and a more active community. also from my knowledge NexusSTC is more academic content whereas bookracy has more of a range of content

  • .ru was for precautions against DMCA and the russian federation thing on github was just jokes because we had a ru domain
