Hey everyone! 📚 I’m excited to introduce Bookracy, an open-source shadow library dedicated to preserving and freely sharing knowledge. With a large and growing collection, Bookracy is (annoying) ad-free, non-profit, and lightning-fast ⚡—plus, it’s fully open-source and powered by a passionate community. Whether you're a reader, researcher, or developer, there’s a place for you here. Check out our Reddit, website, GitHub, and hop into our Discord to join the conversation and help grow this movement for open access! 🤝❤️
This is giving me Fed vibes
Fed as in?
I'm new to Lenny and wouldn't mind learning the lingo.
I think they means it's a federal operation, a honey pot for a government to crack down on piracy.
In the piracy world, “fed” is short for Federal Bureau of Investigation police officer.
Federal agent.
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
Probably because you use a lot of proprietary platforms like discord, reddit, github, twitter and you have apparently very bad opsec. If someone would do something illegal, they wouldnt be so careless about it. Thats the assumption probabyl
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
This thread alone would likely prove enough already.
its all circumstantial evidence
Looks cool. I will take a look when the backend is open sourced for sure. Prep for some tough times legally if you continue to use those centralized social platforms.
we will be moving off discord soon
What about github? With all the more open git alternatives, why pick the code management tool hosted and controlled by Microsoft for open source / piracy?
we will be moving to codeberg soon
No you won’t you just voted harshly against it.
I personally find weird the read on web mechanism.
