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
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
yeah sure a little help on getting started would be great but ill get to it
You can try request a book on bookracy .ru (on the reddit or discord) and we will find it for you
have a storage server bought from either hetzner or contabo ect and have a bulletproof proxy server from either alexhost or snowcore.io (i suggest getting one of their kvms) and using nginx to proxy
its the current setup of bookracy that I have and it works great
lmaoo that was just for jokes - most of us are from western countries
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
