Tu sei la sola al mondo che sa,
del mio cuore,
ciò che è stato sempre,
prima d’ogni altro amore.

Aside from stepped-up antitrust enforcement, the Biden administration took a hands-off approach to inflation, deferring mainly to the Fed. And we know the results.

We achieved peak England today as we encountered a group of Morris dancers at Ightham Mote. My puppy wisely decided it's best to get the hell away from it.

Cursory websearch suggests your info, however accurate it may have been in the first place, is stale by 3 years.
Even that source doesn't mention genocide. It does mention the Geneva convention, which sounds kind of similar but they are serious things so try to keep track of them. It's shitty to toss around terms like this without any regard to the gravity of them.
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide | OHCHR:
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Relocating people itself is not genocide.
You mentioned 1.6m. Here is what the source I found which is extremely biased towards you, says about 1.6m:
900,000 and 1.6 million Ukrainian citizens, including 260,000 children, from their homes to Russia – often to isolated regions in the Far East.
So adults outnumber children 6 to 1. If this is a plan to take children, it seems to be very poorly executed.
Looks to me that people are being moved as groups and children are part of any group. You'd prefer they be left alone to fend for themselves in a war zone?
Still I also wouldn't comment on people posting .com-links, even though the US are fighting endless illegal wars for decades and the president is wrecking democracy for a police state.

Being “private” and having a discord is like an oxymoron.
I only see a front end on GitHub. Is this just a libgen mirror?
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
btw you say “ad free” but I can see an ad in the home
Regarding the download speeds etc, also Anna’s archive was faster time ago but then the more you grow the more you have to take care
So my question is, are there any plans for scaling?

For your sake, I'd strongly recommend not monetizing the site at all. Publishers will come after you if you make any sort of profit from the site especially if you're located in a western country.
That's one of the main reasons Nintendo took action against Yuzu - they were making a lot of money from Patreon.
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
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
No thanks

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
What's happening in Ukraine sucks
That doesn't contradict the sentiment that borders are generally arbitrary lines designed to divide us.
Using a Russian sure to get free books doesn't hurt Ukraine unless these are all like infected with Russian turbo malware or something
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

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

@itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone mentioned Alexandra Elbakyan. Do you know who that is? Aaron Schwartz ended up dead just for having a lot of journal articles and giving away a bunch of public domain materials.
bulletproof servers
Oh my.. You sound really unprepared for what you are getting into. There is no such thing as perfect security. And if someone sold you on that premise, you were tricked.
Even if your host is doing the absolute best job possible, your group can still screw it up any one of a million ways. Given the cavalier attitude here, that's going to be happening soon and happening often.
Honestly you sound like a total heat score..
I'd be more than a little interested to be pointed towards a guide, or even just a bullet point list, of good opsec considerations or tools for a project like this. I've got time and technical ability but don't spend a lot of time thinking about these concerns. The last thing I want is to cause myself trouble I'm not ready for, but I'd like to make a significant contribution to the community, so I want to prepare adequately.
Any guides or lists you can think of?

You're right, and I'm sorry if I came over as condescending. The thing is, with projects like these, you need to front load a lot of the safety concerns if you are going to be the one actually hosting the content. It'd be an easier entry to contribute to existing structures, staying more low-key and learning along the way. Many established projects are open-source and need programmers and hackers to help improve and secure their codebases, for example.
That said, if you wanted to start something of your own, I think Anna's blog is a nice starting point, before you delve into the technical nitty-gritty:
annas-archive.org/blog/blog-ho…
annas-archive.org/blog/how-to-…
Then, for the actual hosting process, much depends on the stack you use. Never pay for anything in a way that can be traced, which basically only leaves cash or anonymous crypto like Monero. Don't use any account names, emails, passwords, etc that you've ever used before. Never, ever go boasting to strangers, or even worse, friends, about what you're doing. Do all the standard things of hardening your servers, but always plan around some or all of them being shut down it seized. Even "bulletproof hosting" providers get raided every once in a while. That means decentralization, and don't put convenience over safety.
Now, while shadow libraries and other forms of media piracies certainly are sought-after targets, you're likely not going to be anyone's number one priority, while there's still rings of child abusers and terrorists on the web. But once you reach a certain size, state actors will come after you, like they did after z-lib a while ago. I don't have any comprehensive guides on Opsec (and I'm no expert on it, by any measure), but most of it boils down to common sense and keeping your mouth shut, anyways. Most people that get busted don't have missed some technical vulnerability, but because they've talked about their illegal projects on accounts linked to their real name, or something similarly trivial.
How to run a shadow library: operations at Anna’s Archive
There is no “AWS for shadow charities”, so how do we run Anna’s Archive?annas-archive.org
ty for the support
annas archive doesnt have fast downloads for free users - downloads take around a good 30 mins for a decently sized books
bookracy aims to fix this issue
Thx for clarifying!
I usually don't notice that bc I always use the external downloads.
It would be rly cool to see bookracy in the external downloads of Annas Archives then!
also pls keep your humour, it's funny to see the libs get mad bc they see a "Russian Federation" tag
yeah annas archive soon come 😊
Discord is still risky and so is github so we are aiming to move soon.
