Shitty search engine, no way for scanlators to upload and I'm pretty sure they also compress the hell out of their uploads like everyone else.

You would have; I don't have it, but the original is basically just the guy being interested in the girl as well, but being too shy to speak to her.

there is none they are all filled with gookshit and no one bothered to keep the old content.

In all these years the one I've used just keeps working well. The reason is probably because I don't advertise it here.

As always, gatekeeping is always the correct decision. There's a ROM/ISO site I've used for like 20 years now and they're still alive and kicking partly because they keep low to the ground

More likely is that the one you use isn't well known because its one of the million aggregators that downgrades the quality of the images, or its one of those sites that doesn't keep up with scanlations consistently like Madokami.

>no way for scanlators to upload
by design, dude doesn't want anyone having any kind of access; after so many implosions he believes running the whole thing by himself is the better alternative, no matter how taxing and prone to making mistakes that path entails.
>>
I'm convinced that the people running Mangadex are the ones who brought comick to the attention of the gooks. They did it out of spite because no one wants to use their dogshit abortion of a site anymore and I refuse to accept any other explanation.

Comick died because the admin was retarded and put his real name on everything.

>>282669854
>>282670032
>>282670140

At this point, we need a new website, made from scratch, where it's Japanese manga only and meant for scanlators going after not-so-famous manga.
>>
>>282669854
Holy stupidity Batman! Mangadex didn't need orchestrate Comik's downfall, they did that on their own.

- Their website backdoor proved it was ran by amateurs.
- Were even more brazen in uploading officially licensed material, despite trying to be open like MD.

You cannot play by both sides while running this operation, you either have a tight close administration in order to upload all licensed stuff which will instantly set a target on your head, or you severely limit what others can upload if you allow for an open community.

Stop talking out of your ass. What you need is a competent admin who knows OpSec and doesn't give a shit about dmcas, like the weebcentral admin.
>>
>>282670342
>and doesn't give a shit about dmcas, like the weebcentral admin.
That comes with the fact he runs the website by himself, that is great until he decides this is not worthy anymore and gives up, or he gets tired of manually uploading series his script can't automatically scrape off.

There's no perfect alternative, everything has a risk.

>>282668979
Nice try but I'm very autistic with both quality and update frequency but mostly with raws. Even some official raws are unreadable but at least they provide samples.
>>
>>282670616
The purge on Mangadex never ended, the website is on notice to be readily available to comply with whatever new set of DMCAs it is hit with ever since the administration handled much of its operation to members fully compliant with publishers; Mangadex is a zombie with is just existing for the sake of existing at this point, publishers know of its existence and are allowing to operate for window dressing most likely.

This is just the end result of Mangadex trying to be friendly towards both scanlators and publishers simultaneously. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the remaining staff just gives up on their creed of never going official like Crunchyroll and FAKKU, at this point fighting against the tide seems fruitless.

Or distribute things through Tor, the panda already has an onion site, but since I can't access it, I don't know if it has all the stuff that irodori purges.
>>
I was close to finishing my own mangadex clone, but the comick closure made me curious about the people who tried to build comick 2. So I tried joining one and applied as a dev, but they were all just vibe coders who didn’t know shit and had mostly toyed with JavaScript and AI-generated code. So yeah, that’s two weeks wasted. It’s just grim if these are the only people willing to do this these days.

Just finish the project yourself, and make sure you remain anonymous when you host the site.

Oh my god who gives a shit? The easiest and most preservation oriented solution is to create a torrent containing the highest available quality for manga and regularly updating it, for example monthly. Aggregators can just compress the files during upload to their servers.
Scanlators can host their work on their own site and upload it on filesharing sites, which will be added to the aforementioned manga backup torrent. Or create another mangadex for all I care.

The point is singular websites and centralization don't matter unless you're an underage retard. Piracy is supposed to be like a hydra. Cut one head off and two grow in its place.

There's plenty of torrents for manga already, you better learn how to look for them.

You don't even need to go underground, just don't use your plain name and don't host shit in a country that gives a shit about copyright. And if you want to be extra sure just don't host gook shit.

What does remux mean for manga? You unzip an epub and repack it as cbz or pdf?
>>
>>282678801
I think anon meant Anime, but for manga it's usual to see crazy 10k scans with downscaled packs
>>
>>282678801
>What does remux mean for manga?
Nothing.
>>
>>282678907
That would also explain the x265. JPEG XL would likely be the equivalent for manga.
>>
>>282679119
Muxing means combining different data streams, not compressing things.
>>
>>282678907
Downscaling gets you half the way there, the other half is cutting bit depth.
Unless the manga is in color or uses 50 shades of grey, you can half most file sizes (or more) by cutting the bit depth on .png files down to 4 without any quality loss.

Unless you're reading manga with intricate details like Berserk you won't notice anything much reading a 12mb png page compared to 1 mb jpg page in the same reading page style.
