The fuck I thought it will close at 7 April?
For fucks sake.

>>287278013Fucking shit I was counting on having a full day left to move all my shit

Man, shit worked better all around when everyone just did everything out of IRC.
>>287278488>still keeping track of what you read on sites known for going down every few years
>There is a deepweb onion site for book preservation and for people in authoritarian countries>weebs cant come up with something like this or keep quietAlso the server/hdd price raise is recent, how the fuck is that a excuse this early in the game, AI bubble is going to pop soon anyway
>>287278581>t. Crunchyroll employee
>>287277850>hydra bros?Alternatives besides just continuing uploading on mangadex are>Mangago>Mangaball>MangatoroAnd apparently Comix can give you upload rights if you ask.
>>287277850What's a vibecoder?
>>287278594Says one thing and does something completely different as soon as the mood hits. Real woman behavior.
>>287278555Mangaupdates (and many anime/manga sites in general) is banned in my country so thoughtfully that you hardly can get to them even using proxy/vpn, so...
Just set up an adblog for Weebcentral or whatever.
>>287278629It's a guy who doesn't understand code using AI to write software. It's why so much stuff has been breaking in the last year and why no one hires junior devs anymore.
>>287277850AI is killing all the cheap hosters (in addition to ruining everything else)
>>287278581
>>287278488If you need a list to remind of what you're reading you're either reading too much garbage not even you care about or are too old to still read manga
>>287278733Thank you, it's very charitable of you to assume it's not both.
>>287277850anyone on /g/ willing to make a weebdex copy? the code is right there.
>>287278772I'll get started on the logo.
>>287277850what do you mean vibecode, isn't it his project? Or did he take it from MangaDex?
>>287278772>can a unemployed CS grad, a vibe coder, or a schizophrenic whose wife is a chatbot please save us
>>287278733Ask me how I know that you reading only weekly shonenshit on official sites.
>>287278802He felt the need to take a swing at the imaginary gen z indians in his head with his final breath so he didn't seem like such a failure after his project imploded immediately.
>>287278772The source code button isn't real.
>>287278840at least try to answer my question
the guy that was scanning giant ojou-sama gave up after comick shut down and no one has picked it up since
>STILL not self-hosting in the year of our Lord 2026Even in the current merchant price-gouging world you should be owning your own shit. You don't even need an old desktop, laptop or even a raspi. You can even use those old phones billions of people have lying in their drawers.There's no excuse. Either own it locally, or own nothing and be happy.
This wouldn't have happened if mangatraders were still alive.
>>287278864https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIEt1VxlDvsExplain the joke.
>>287278907That's not the point. There is no centralized place for scanlator groups to upload their shit anymore, like mangadex used to be and weebdex was supposed to be. If you want to keep track of ongoing series, you have to follow a million discord channels and blogs and chatrooms and magically know where something is getting scanlated instead of just searching on one website.
So now the only hubs left are Mangaball... and Mangadex.That's fucked.
>>287278640check if any of the sites MALsync supports are unblocked in your cunt and use that from now on
>>287277850That last sentence LMFAO -3000 izzat, jeetards
>>287278640Nowadays Comick works much better than mangaupdates at keeping track.
>>287278943doesn't really matterI started scanlating when mangadex was down, and then we just used imgur and cubari and posted it on redditworked perfectly fineimgur sucks now but imgchest and catbox works, and you can always post it here as well
>>287278943This was a solved problem twenty years ago. Before people stopped learning how to use the internet and everything had to be a fucking Discord you'd go on Rizon and there were multiple channels with folks running bots serving collections that would put Mangadex to shame.
>>287278990And is that still where most scanlators post their shit today?
>>287278946>So now the only hubs left are Mangaball... and Mangadex.>That's fucked.No, Mangago, Mangaball, and Mangatoro allow uploads. And apparently you can get upload right on Comix if you ask. So plenty of alternatives to Mangadex.
>>287278488>>287278555theoretically it shouldn't be that hard to make an extension that tracks your progress per manga across sites, but you'll also have to track the multiple names that each manga goes by
>>287279010#lurk died 15 years ago anon
>>287279021>>287278949it just werks
>>287279054Yes, that's the point I'm making.
>>287278943>If you want to keep track of ongoing series, you have to follow a million discord channels and blogs and chatrooms and magically know where something is getting scanlated instead of just searching on one website.you can waot 5 months and read them in bull, by them someone always upload them. You just need to google it.Fucking drama Lord following 40 isekai lmfao
It's too much man. I'm tired of bouncing from site to site every week because they all keep dieing.
>>287278629Shorthand for someone making something with AI and likely doesn't have a full grasp of what they're doing
>>287279097Brother, you're weak. Most oldfags here lived through Onemanga's death from the 00s and just moved to a new one over the years. It happens to all of usHonestly, the only notable thing about this one for me was the not allowing Chinese or Korean titles on the site. That was actually really smart
>>287279097just add them all via something like Suwayomi and keep track of all relevant sources with a universal library
>>287277850how hard is it to market one of these sites as "teh next mangadex", it doesn't seem extremely hard to make one of these from scratch and theres still domain/hosting providers for dmca ignored content
>>287279213>it doesn't seem extremely hard to make one of these from scratchAsk /g/ if they ever got past the logo stage, then get back to me
>>287279213issue is money, it's expensive and hosting costs are running through the roof because of ram and storage prices
>>287279213>it doesn't seem extremely hard to make one of these from scratchBruh come on
>>287278864>it's trueWhat the fuck, that's so mean. Why?
>>287277850It's NEVER good when this happens.Crappy way to end a sunday.
>>287279284Friendly reminder that you don't hate AI enough.
>>287278926Wuwa wuwon wonce again
>>287279011someone eventually will need to compile as much manga as possible and just throw a onion site or I2P/Tor tracker
>>287279284Something's needed where scrapers can get to for a copy but actual users need to make some effort, just to keep the number of direct users low.
>>287279343Dude is clearly just being smug for internet point
>>287279213As far as code it's not that hard, WeebDex apparently even shared their source if you want to copy it. The problem is maintaining the site, as it needs money and most people doing this are amateurs with no concept of how to properly pay for it while shielding themselves from being sued.You're crazy if you think FAANG employees are wasting their time hosting pirate sites, it's all dumb youngsters moved by passion and 3rd worlders looking for ad money
>>287279245>>287279305I mean, he's right, it's not at all technically difficult to just make a website that displays imagesThe bigger problems are hosting (storage/bandwidth) and the databaseWhen the fuck is that guy on Nyaa going to upload the updated Mangadex archive?
>>287279154>Most oldfags here lived through Onemanga's death from the 00s and just moved to a new one over the yearsYeah, I'm one of them. I'm just tired of having to move and adjust every few years, and lately, months. I'm too old for this shit. I just want to be able to open mihon, read a chapter without always having to find a new extension cause whatever I used last died, and be done with it.
>>287279154Problem is that scalators now dont fucking compile their shit on a DL or torrent, that's what is really fucking everyone over in making a new site easily, or go flaunt themselves on social media instead of keeping it as anonymous as possible on a blog or something
>>287279097>onemanga>batoto>kissmanga>mangadex (technically not dead but it's a shell of it's former self)>comick>weebdex (didn't even have time to take off)>a dozen scanlator and agregator sites over the yearssad but it's not the end, something else will take it's place.
>>287279305>>287279284>>287279245bakas its literally a crud web frontend to a bunch of images sitting in a folderhosting will be more expensive than usual but ive only seen it go up a few dollars for the cheap stuff. plus donations and stuff idk
>>287279456>WeebDex apparently even shared their sourceno they didn't, I should have made that clear in the OP image. You click it a bunch of times and it sends you to a song from a gacha.
>>287279284rangeban india, SA, SEA and all VPNs don't upload gookslop problem solved
>>287279472They're getting much more aggressive about taking them down. Half that list died in the last couple months, and one of them died before it could even get off the ground. And hosting costs are only getting more expensive.Shut the fuck up with this complacent-ass "something will take it's place" shit. Times are changing.
>>287279472I know you're a newfag becaus you didn't write #lurk and mangahelpers.
>>287279532>Shut the fuck up with this complacent-ass "something will take it's place" shit. Times are changing.Then just use catbox/imgchest and cubari and post it on reddit. Doesn't need to be more complicated than that.
>>287279456i bought a slovenain domain when mangadex ackedi might work on something for a week and post it on /a/ or /g/i give 60% success
>>287279515AMEN
>>287277850>hydra bros?always a copeJust like "you are here forever"
>>287279571That doesn't solve the issue of people knowing it exists.
>>287279571You're missing the point.
>>287278814>a schizophrenic whose wife is a chatbot please save usngl, /aicg/ during the golden years of character.ai was memorable. From simple erp discussion to desubotSimply amazing
>>287277850>Indian gen z vibecodersWhat the fuck is he even talking about??? You can be as racist as you want, but if you fail to complete a project THAT YOU HAD COMPLETE CONTROL OVER, that's on you! Fucking irresponsible bitch.
>>287279776Good morning SAARRSS
>>287279687Reddit is the biggest discussion forum for manga and you more or less the entire crowd on mangadex with it. If you haven't noticed, the manga subreddit is controlled by mangadex and people are forced to post links only to mangadex there. It's been like that since the only mod there couped the subreddit, he's most likely a mangadex mod.It is what it is, but luckily they still allow posting to cubari, which is a way to get around it.
>>287277850>blames Indians and kidsGood riddance to these types of losers
>>287279822>the manga subreddit is controlled by mangadex and people are forced to post links only to mangadex there>he's most likely a mangadex mod>but luckily they still allow posting to cubari, which is a way to get around it.So that's not going to last. You've seen what mangadex is doing lately, right?
Just use fucking Nyaa or something to host your scans. Torrents are harder to fucking nuke. So long as you don't touch manwha or webtoons you should be fine.
>>287279776I know you deleted the word mother from this post, saar.
>>287279922It's also a bad way to search for chapters, if you expect to find someone translating there at all. A DMCA is going to make that location easy to target if they ever want to.
>>287279934Nyaa hasn't been open for new registrations and uploading for years anon.
>>287279934Zoomers are apparently too fucking stupid to download a client and click a magnet link.
>>287279952it worked perfectly fine when mangadex was down for months
>>287279962Anonymous uploading was re-enabled at some point, though.And there's always tokyotosho.
>>287279934Torrents suck for updating series and Nyaa hasn't accepted new registrations for fucking years.
Back in my days we had to browse the scansite, click on a link to some filehost, wait 1 minute, and then download a .rar.No drama, no merch.
>>287280016>Anonymous uploading was re-enabled at some point, though.apparently that doesn't work
>>287279822>Reddit is the biggest discussion forum for mangaNo, we are
The admin is a complete faggot, holy shit. I fear for the future of Schale and hdoujin, it's a miracle they lasted as long as they have with him leading them.
>>287280016>Anonymous uploading was re-enabled at some point, though.No it wasn't>And there's always tokyotosho.Not a tracker, and nobody uses it anymore
>>287279962Uhm, i have a nyaa account, a little thing to feel special.
>>287280080I still do that for raws.It's shitty but it works.
>>287277850What's wrong with vibe-coding? Claude is already good enough to make a website with good architecture and design principles.
>>287279934Torrents (thousands of them) are also much more difficult to maintain (seed). some people already visited my (dead) discord asking for files I uploaded to nyaa long ago (0 seeder)
>>287280106You're joking, right? This place doesn't have a fraction of the traffic. The activity here has halved in just 3-4 years from 40k posts a day to 20k posts a dady. This place is dying fast.
>>287280194
>>287280152I hope you make sure to log in yearly. My account was disabled.>>287280170Pfft. Hahaha. Yeah, fuck no.
>>287277850Why doesn't torrent work for manga like it does for anime? All you need is a client that can scan your archive and present it in a nice and organized way.
How much would it cost to host a website that generally avoided dmca/lawsuits and in case it does get taken down has a fail safe. I don't know how this stuff works but I can pay for the entire thing but you gotta do the work, I'll even pay anons if they aren't retarded. The site would ideally have 0 restrictions on content no matter what and fag moderation would get nuked on sight. Question being how much will this cost. Maybe I'll look into it myself.
>>287278733I read a bunch of series that can go months without updates because they're scanlated by one dude as a hobby. There's no way I'm going to keep up with that without a tracker.
>>287280434Also an idea I had recently was a streaming torrent client that functions like Hayase's anime streaming torrent client. Would this be possible for manga? If anyone could develop it for me I'll pay you whatever you want.
>>287278943i just come here por my manga >:3
>>287280404The average modern retard has no idea how to use RSS or atom feeds.
At least we still have the usual place
>>287279284this i beat up 30 indian guys since the whole AI shit started, you dont even need to be strong, they are made of jello, i use a thomas the tank costume so they dont run away
Not even 6 months huh. Good thing I held off from making an account and start bookmarking my readling list.
>>287279011>Comix if you ask.The site seems to be run by retarded moralfagging admins. How in the fuck do you justify banning nip porn but not gook porn?
>>287280536In your mind, that is. In reality Desi men are taking over and fucking your bitch, your sister, your mom, and mooning with crypto.
I miss when groups had their own websites.
>>287280640Some do so they can paywall chapters better.
There goes my reading list.Fucking nigger.
it would be time to move back to irc if it wouldn't be so much effort to teach people how to use it
ipfs or torrents are enough to fix this problem, they can even run directly in the browsera vpn or living in a third world country solve the copyright problem
>>287279472Don't forget Mangapanda. That was around the batoto time
>>287280434>>287280471If you are interested in working on something like this, message me for inquiries and employment. I will be reposting this on other sites and /g/.Genkinote@proton.me
>>287280434Whatever you do, make sure to avoid having Chinese or Korean webtoons on it. That removes one potential flashpoint
>>287278266Wdym?
>>287280434>>287280776 this. And rangeban jeets
>>287280434>>287280774Good luck anon
>>287277850The open internet is fucking dying. Best to accept that now and move on.
>>2872807914 heads died
Scanlations are dead like fansubs.
>>287280434Just so you know, with good enough security, it doesn't matter if you host gook shit or not, what that other anon said is basically moot since the ones making money off gook shit, like Asura, are still alive and kicking. But I do agree with the sentiment of making a site for only Japanese stuff on the principle that korean comics attract plenty of retards.
damn thought i had another day to move stuff
>>287277850>click the source code link>requires me to click 100 times>opens a youtube link>"kek been a while since I've been rickrolled">it's actually gachashitA thousand curses upon all Mangadex derivatives.
>>287278772Who's gonna pay for it?
>>287280859Fansubs aren't dead.
>>287280884Worse... it's actually a chinkshit gacha, wouldn't be seething if it atleast japanese gacha
>>287278907>STILL not self-hosting in the year of our Lord 2026The issue with self hosting isn't just having to own/ build your own server, it's also the high internet bill and the fact that copywrite isp's will have a clear target when they want to take you down.This isn't some Minecraft or Garry's mod server you share with your friends from school/ college. This is a pirate site with potentially thousands of people vising a day.
>>287280925gachashit is gachashit; the label you put on it is irrelevant
>>287277850>shuts it down more than 1 day earlier than stated out of nowhere>passive-aggressive disingenuous letter>puts download source button to "rick roll" you... after 100 clicks>burns everything with no way for others to backup or continueShameless, deranged subhuman behavior.>>287278266>xdcc bots>animetoshoJust finding out about this, fucking hell. Contrast AT's announcement and plan, this is what a decent person acts like.At bare minimum one should share the data once before disappearing altogether. Code/tools would be nice and great help but could still be build from the ground up again.I'm so fucking tired but also disappointed and let down by people like this.
>>287278266What happened to xdcc bots?
>>287280146I thought trackers are not needed anymore with that DHT magic?
>>287280582There are many sites just for hentai, where manwha erotica is basically the entire point of Comix
>>287280296>post rate back to when I started browsing /a/And that is bad why?
>>287280912lollmao
>>287280986Biggest host of them (Arutha) died, so there are only scraps left.
>>287280986Bot operators disappeared bit by bit. Recently, one which ran most of the remaining bots retired. There's only one bot left which hosts SubsPlease releases, it's that bad.
>>287279934Torrents are fine for entire series or a chunk of volumes at once, but even in an ideal world where that all worked out, that would mean that you'd get no updates at all and then a big batch at once every year or so. It'd be like a Netflix season.
>>287280776>>287280795>>287280804>>287280871The site will be Japanese only, thanks.>>108537444
>>287281046>There's only one bot leftPS: it's more like 0.5 bots, because it's overloaded now and the traffic is exhausted around halfway through the month.
>>287277850>didn't have time to check if it had several titles nuked from Mangadex>as soon as I remembered Piccolina and Cocktail Knights were also completely deleted and went to check I got hit with this shitGod fucking damn it all.
>>287281090ymir...
>>287281046>There's only one bot left which hosts SubsPlease releases, it's that bad.Who's hosting the Erai-raws releases? The same bot?
>>287281046Arutha dying may as well have been a killing blow
>>287281183No xdcc bot that I know of hosts Erai-raw releases.
>>287280181>I uploaded>(0 seeder)how about you seed your fucking files.
People should just upload on sadpanda at this point.
>>287277850Damn, I was hoping it was a mistake but no, they pulled the plug today.Damn me, I've been too sick to do anything for a week and now I got no time to secure anything I might have missed
>>287281272The panda has been compromised for years now.
>>287280871I would instead simply make separate sites for those. There are some genuinely good manhwa and even manhua out there, certainly valuable in terms of both art and content. For me it's about preservation and availability.
>>287281250He just said it's difficult to seed thousands of torrents.Maybe it doesn't scale.
>>287278772>the code is right thereit's actually some ebin heckin' quirky chungus jokerino
>>287280859Nah still tons of scanlation teams around. Almost all anime get official subs while only super popular manga or manga from major magazines get official translations. There's always going to be space for scanlators in the manga world.
I think the "compiled" (minified mess) site code is still all there. It's some svelte mess.
>>287280937Who said anything about sharing it with anyone else?
>>287281027>>287281046Shit, what the fuck.
>>287281316>Maybe it doesn't scale.No of course not, what actually works is doing something like what sadpanda did many years ago with H@home, that is to have volunteers donate their bandwidth from their own personal internet connection, to ensure that the server isn't overloaded. But for that, you need to have somewhat of a renown and a userbase to be feasible.
>>287280434Just follow Mangasee's lead
>>287281422I hope this guy has bulletproof opsec.
>>287280434First of all, good luck. Thats quite a hard thing to do, be careful with your money.The first rule is that almost no website hoster will be able to ignore threats from multiple countries.
>>287281197effectively, yeah
only official simulpub with consistent release date could succeed on torrent
>>287278266>>mangadex going "legal"Has mangadex made any indication that they were going legal? Usually when a piracy site goes legal, they nuke all their unofficial content instead of just some of it.
>>287281365>tons of scanlation teams aroundPeople that don't speak English and use machine translation in order to make money don't count in my mind. That's like 99% of what is out there nowadays in one form or another.
>>287279944kek
>>287278943Honestly I still read just whatever still gets updated on mangadex and whatever I see being talked around here. For series that I was reading that got taken down from mangadex I just use whatever agreggator is less cancerous at that moment and that's it.
>>287280434First you have to find someone talented and trusted who can do the shit for you. That's a bit of an obstacle.Second, I have no idea about hosting. A site that is used by a dozen of people could be hosted on a 10 dollar/month VPS. Something larger with a dedicated server... maybe 100 dollars a month at most?Pomf2 spent 890 dollars a month, but it was a crazy site which let anyone upload huge binary files, hosted them forever, and let anyone download without restrictions: https://infrablog.lain.la/infra-costs>>287281568They're a registered business in the UK now and owned by a known player.
>>287281587I keep wondering why americans are so mindbroken about indians. If you call out there retards, they'll keep throwing indian words at you. It's amazing.
>>287280194>This place is dying fastDepends on what you want out of /a/. It is way better now as a place to talk about more niche series and manga than it was a few years ago when the entire catalog was /snk/, dragon ball and other mainstream shit pseudo-generals and side threads.
>>287279154>Onemanga's deathThe desperation of having to use Mangafox for a while still haunts my youth.
>>287280296What happened in 2024? it's weird that the traffic stayed stable for a decade and went on a persistant decline right there.
>>287281751They used that.
>>287281476This. I don't see series with double digit viewers surviving on torrents, specially if they are monthly and only get a tankobon release every few years.Most people don't have a seedbox, you would have to download my manga after I get home from work and before I go to bed. Good luck downloading a chapter from a year ago where I'm the only seeder.
>>287281751a lot of 4channers migrated to Elon's twitter, which unironically has more freedom of speech than 4chan
>>287281591I have been reading scanlated manga for over a decade and I have not noticed a significant decline in quality.In fact I'd go as far as to say that there were way more shitty translations back in the day and the teams took way more liberties when translating. All the drama about localizations changing things has galvanized fan translations into roughly following some guidelines.
>>287281790Stay there.
>>287281688It's just the latest knee-jerk reaction word because they saw it on social media.Do you realize that almost nobody uses soi and its variations anymore?
>>287281793>I have been reading scanlated manga for over a decade and I have not noticed a significant decline in quality.especially H manga scanlation. thanks to AI MTL.

>>287281790To discuss /pol/ retardation maybe, but for anime/manga discussion?
>>287281790All the artists I follow keep getting banned and have an underscore in their usernames and several letter substitutions now, so definitely not
>>287281817>Updated with more recent, "typo free" versionsWhat scans were those? This is important
>>287281810soi is too 2010 4chan speak. The mainstream lingo has moved on to 2015 4chan speak like mogging, -maxxing and all the other shit that /fit/ popularised here.
>>287281817What series?I wish people her also kept a Mega/Drive folder with the original files instead of solely uploading to these sites. You can simply share the link in the release threads here.
>>287281860and? I also keep getting banned here for posting sexy anime girls even under spoiler
>>287281664>They're a registered business in the UK now and owned by a known player.Then why haven't they gotten rid of all their content?
>>287281860By "free speech" he means saying the N word or calling for genocide and so on. Only posting anime girls that look slightly too lewd in the eyes of moralfags gets you banned there.
>>287281790>more freedom of speech than 4chanLol, lmao.
>>287281900For three days, after which it evaporates and unless you commit a cardinal sin and get redtexted, none of your other posts go. You don't get your art portfolio nuked from orbit.
>>287277850>indian zoomer AI vibecoderso this is who /a/ was shouldering their hopes on? oldfags are pathetic...
>>287281908I have no idea. Copyright is actually bullshit.
How would you even have a discussion like this on twitter?You would have to search for "weebdex" and then read a bunch of people shouting to the void (order decided by a profit-seeking algorythm). You can reply to some of them but there wont be a conversation between multiple people at once.
>>287281900>>287281941my point is /a/ is one of the most anti-fun boards where pretty much anything can get you banned, mainly because of "off topic" ban, 3 days on all boards. This year alone, I've gotten banned twice for "troll posting" and "low effort posting" threads when they were both serious and high effort..you can deny this all you want, but posters are tired of getting randomly banned for nothnig
>>287281962Link the posts you got banned for on the archives.
>>287279097Same.
>>287281962>where pretty much anything can get you bannedI have been posting regularly for a long time and have never been banned.I didn't even know the /a/ mods were active much kek I barely ever see any redtexts or crossed out posts.
>>287281900Post them in one of the many red boards?
>>287281968just one example. even a fluff thread like this (sometimes) isn't allowedhttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/287089890/
>>287281943he is making fun of the jeets not claiming to be one...
>>287281688Most Indian racism is actually coming from Indians. They think it makes them seem western but in reality people in America barely think about Indian people.
>>287281999The problem with allowing some posts like that is that soon half the catalog will be filled with retarded shit and actual threads will get knocked out. You can post that inside a blue lock thread or something like that.
>>287282006Don't mind him, poor reading comprehension.
if you banned and removed all manwha, sites would be surviving much longer and have much more maintenanble costs, wouldn't they?IIRC so many of these takedowns are initiated by webtoon and the insane traffic from phonescollers who want stuff formatted for their only piece of technology
>>287282029Though I do think that they have gotten a bit too strict when it comes to fluff. I remember the /a/nimal threads and things like that from years ago which were fun and didn't get spammed yet nowadays there is no such thing.
>>287282036Weebdex did ban all non-Japanese stuff. This isn't a takedown, just someone not able to deal with the increase in traffic.
>>287282036scroll format stuff is the cursed challice. The sites want them because of the traffic but korean and big chinese media companies are way more trigger happy than the japs when it comes to dmca.
>>287282085yea, japs seem to understand the whole "brown paper bag" dance of scantalation of un-licensed series.
>>287282029Oh so now you want to enforce generals. and that wasn't even a Blue Lock manga page.
>>287282036>sites would be surviving much longer and have much more maintenanble costs, wouldn't they?No and yes. No, because what kills the site is poor security, meaning that the admins are easy to doxx and get them sued. Yes, because korean stuff is extremely popular and will get you an increase in traffic that does lead to an increase in hosting costs, but only if your site is popular and is used by a lot of people.
>>287282054Tbdesu I think /a/ should have gotten split into an "anything anime/manga goes" board and a series generals board a long time ago. I get it splits the userbase and leads to general board retardation like on /vg/, but /a/ has always been a shitshow of anime/manga watchalong threads, anime/manga discussion threads, etc and the limited space has eventually pushed the fluff and more random stuff out.
>>287282132I want high quality OPs, not generals. That post is objectively garbage, anon.
>>287282162nah, you just want discord but anonymous. stop being a little bubbleboy and interact with people who don't fully agree with you
>>287282132I said blue lock threads because they are the threads where you will most likely find people that will care about that specific comic at the moment.
>>287280434You might also want to consider offshore servers for dmca shield
>>287282192You complain about current /a/ not having space for more random fun stuff, but also complain about a way to make space for it? What's your suggestion then anon?And idk what you even mean by discord. I haven't used that shit since I talked to friends over it during covid.
Why has mangadex been able to outlast every single competitor? What is everyone else doing wrong?
>>287281688Indians are to the upper middle class what Mexicans are to the working class.
>>287282162Agreed. There's nowhere to make Anime/Random posts. Anytime you try, people will latch on to the series in the OP and try and turn it into an iteration of their pseudo-general. /a/ is basically finished as far as creating new culture or jokes goes.
>>287282230They just instantly take down stuff whenever they get a DMCA.
>>287282230They made business deals. They joined Crunchyroll and Fakku in "le pirates remorse" business model
>>287282230compliance. just like exhentai and nhentai.
>>287282230They are willing to compromise and delete certain content when they get asked to do it.Most other sites try to ignore takedown requests until they end up getting hit by the mother of all DMCA's that gets the entire site nuked in one go. It makes the site seem like a bit of a hollowing husk, but it is still alive and a lot of stuff still gets uploaded there, so I guess it works.
>>287282230>Why has mangadex been able to outlast every single competitor?They grew too big over the course of 8 years, and there's no alternative that isn't fucking cancer.
>>287279822>Reddit is the biggest discussion forum for mangathe state of these threads
>>287282239I still enjoy current /a/ for discussion quite a bit, but yeah, the culture has definitely been stiffled quite a bit and legendary board-breaking events don't happen anymore either.Maybe instead of the split I suggested before, current /a/ could be left as is and a "random anime/manga shit" board could be created.
>>287282230>>287282264Compliance and also Mangadex is extremely useful to gauge certain manga popularity to consider legal scanlation takeover.
>>287282230Hoping for going legal and getting rich.
>>287282311Or you could simply try to use /b/ in the way it was originally intended to be used like on 2chan.
>>287282333/b/ is too tainted at this point, plus what I mean is a blue board for random anime/manga stuff to house the more fun stupid shit threads that used to happen on /a/.
the aggregators that I used over the years generally last 2/3 years each, so I can't complain too much. In the past I used mangakakalot and kissmanga, as long as you use a proper adblock you won't have any problem even in that shit.
>>287282357who cares, it'd die in the cradle. nothing stopping you from making a *sip* thread right now, people just aren't interested in participating
>>287282322I've always wondered how much publishers look at interest on pirate sites when planning what to publish. It is probably a good signal, but a lot of series get kneecapped by inconsistent af scanlators or the scanlators dropping it/disappearing until someone snipes it a year later and suddenly they post a new release like what happened with Dame Ningen this week kek so it should probably always be taken with a grain of salt.
>>287282404would not be surprised if some of the bigger groups were in touch with publishers to give them feedback on audience requests
>>287282384If it dies, it dies, but people at the moment aren't interested because the expectation of what threads happen on /a/ has shifted to the current status quo where that kind of thread has been pushed out. I don't think it is a fair prediction.
>>287277850So where do we migrate to now?
i fucking hate the aggregator I use right now, but it's the least awful one I've come across
>>287282036Weebdex notably did not allow Manhua or Manhwa. That was the right thing to do, but this isn't why it's going down.
>>287278603>>weebs cant come up with something like this or keep quietIt's probably guys who exclusively read shonen blurting these websites on Twitter
>>287282357You cant have fun threads because every cunt immediately tries to call it reddit or twitterThat said this board is more usable from what I remember back in 2016 or so, not because /pol/ but because spoilers were rampant and everything I watched was made no fun by LNfags mainly
>>287282333You're not even making a good faith suggestion, as anyone with half a brain can imagine how poorly that would fare on current /b/. Any such threads would immediately end up on page 10.
>>287281688Replacement for N word. A little bit of grammar error ? INDIANHe dont like what you said ? INDIANI hate modern internet so much
>>287278890Cubari has Giant Ojou with more translated chapters than whatever aggregators have
>>287282617You weren't complaining when it was people slandering niggers, so why do you care now?
>>287282233I know you rather deal with us 1000% instead of them anon
>>287282617>He dont likeINDIAN
>>287281568https://mangadex.org/rightsholdershttps://mangadex.org/copyrightYou tell me if this isn't MD going legal.
>>287282650because he's indian
>webtorrent manga site>seed when reading>popular enough releases have no issues with seeding>autistic people will seed random obscure mangoWhy wouldn't this work if you make it accessible to the average retard? You could even have some gay little forum with retarded points and awards you get for going out of your way and seeding or something.
>>287282650Nobody cares about the N word since the 90's, and we used it for banter among nerds and each other regardless of race,
fuck I had finished moving all my stuff from mangapark recently and its already deadSAD, i dont even know where to fuck FUCK FUCK FUCK
>>287281568They delete everything that they get asked to delete.At the moment the site is still alive because the publishers for lots of stuff haven't done any takedown requests, but god knows what could happen.They are going to get a lot of shit for going legit and will probably lose 90% of the userbase but it is kinda their only option at this point if they want the site to have more than an uncertain future where it gets progressively more hollowed out by takedowns.
>>287282678its amazing how random people can save the entire videogame library entirely, inluding hacks, translations and stuff and make sites with them, yet we can't get one manga site with all of it without problems, at leats animu is basically preserved forever in some sense, I dont really have problems looking up stuffexcept Saint Seiya for some reason that is not seeded ever
>>287282617There's a lot more than a little bit of grammatical error in that post of yours, anon.
>>287282678Enjoy 95% of manga having 0 seeds.Also the pirate bay lawsuit set the precedent. Sharing torrent files is the same as sharing the material.
>>287282678retards can't be trusted.
>>287282731Doing it for anime would be easy, but manga would be a shitshow because most of the western manga world runs on scanlations. It is much easier to archive shit when 90% of it are official releases than the clusterfuck that manga is.
>>287281790>which unironically has more freedom of speech than 4chanCode for: You just get shadowbanned instead of actually banned for saying the n-word. But god help you if you're an anime artist who draws the most clandestine, modest ecchi. Unironically the lefties at bsky are less hostile to anime and bsky is a hellhole for much other reasons (you can draw porn but god help you if the rabid userbase reacts to it). Why can't people just use misskey or pixiv and call it a day?
funny how sadpanda is still surviving and is somehow the best resource for artbooks
>>287278679Their ads bypass all adblocks on chrome desu
>>287282772Try registering on misskey as non japanese
>>287282817Used to see an annoying .gif ads, but no more
>>287281272That's a terrible idea.
>>287282817I don't see any on firefoxThe white man's browser marches on
>>287282817it's really weird how much control JS has nowadays over browsers. some aggregators go into bootloops if you open the dev console
>>287282801>Check frontpage>Ai Slop>[chinese][mtl]
>>287282766a lot of old manga was translated by maybe 1 or 2 groups, should still be around, at for english, it should be possible
>>287282868Just put -AI and english on the searchbarLike holy shit do you want me to fuck your wife too because you cant be arsed to get up from your chair or what? Cmon anon it's the bare minimum.
>>287282888straight from the slums of gujurat, the worst post ever.>ai NTR flood is GOOD actually
>>287282868-other:"ai generated$"-"Chinese"
>>287282868When did the Chinese take over Sadpanda? There always were Chinese scans, but over the past few years, they seemed to have outnumbered the regular scans.
>>287282678Seems like manga is an ephemeral media.
>>287282911well anon you can keep getting cucked by your incapability of filtering search results if you wantwhatever works for you kek
>>287282943It's like Pixiv currently. You can filter AI bullshit but then you're left with almost nothing.
>>287277850What a fucking doomer, won't even package everything up for the next guy.
>>287282943people don't waste their time uploading to AI slopbuckets, saar. defending the existence of your custom made BBC asuna NTR is actively driving people away
>>287282937All media is ephemeral. If you fast forward multiple decades, no one is going to consume 99% of current anime/manga/games/books/shows/etc and the experience of consuming the remaining 1% won't be the same as doing it right as it comes out.
>>287282931When LLM became a thing. Almost all Chinese scanlations over the last couple of years are made tih LLM.
>>287282731The retro stuff is archived, but constant new releases = new games.
>>287282931Sadpanda was always just rehosting chink scans taken from weibos and shit.
>>287282817>chromethat's the problemEither use Firefox and tinker it for privacy, same with Brave, and there's Mullvad's as well>>287282868just filter it, I think it does get deleted if enough people report,dunno>>287282931China is kind of at war against porn, a useless war, so people rely of some sites for their fix, dunno how they are bypassing their firewall into these sites though>>287282957Are you implying there's nothing on SP compared to AI? FUCKING RETARD
>>287282957But that's just because way more AI stuff gets uploaded than non-Ai stuff, not because the non-AI stuff has gotten any worse or rarer than before.
>>287282969You are genuinely brain damaged anon
>>287282866Firefox still allows me to rewrite any JS if I really wanted to use Mangafire for some reason. Chrome users are fucked because declarativeNetRequest/MV3 isn't as flexible.
>>287282983well you can get copies from games on current generations and previous one, new stuff either gets cucked by stupid devs relying on day one patches or always online bs making them not even worth archivingI had to go emulate to be able to play AR Tonelico, or a uncensored Fire Emblem Fates
>>287283017with as shit as mangafire is, it's still the most functional and stocked library I've come across. granted I just settled because it worked well enough and the only thing I get annoyed by now and then is being unable to save a page. the amount of work these people put in to stop others from pirating their pirated material that they pirated for themselves is really pathetic though
>>287281751Was that when they added the 15-minute wait before your first post? That killed mobileposting double dead on top of the rangeblocks.
>>287283017>>287282866there's a .js file for firefox on the cybersecurity general on /g/, basically deals with this and removes most of the telemetries to take care of your digital fingerprint I assume the anon is still updating it once in a while there, I dont use FF now so dunno
>>287282404they indirectly rely on it. you see them frequently have readers suggest what series they should license, and those readers are voting for their favorite fanscanned series.
>>287282970Music, movies and books are forever.
>>287283102>Scanlated mango have some stupidly high quality and drops few hours or a day later after release>Buy official release>Translation is 6-20 volumes behind, also have godawful quality on their online reader.Nah
>>287283143What would be gayming without gaben and steam?
>>287282866>>287283017Literally just use this to disable dev tools detectionhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/anti-anti-debug/
>>287283102yeah, without piracy neither anime or manga would be as big as they are now, they entirely relied on DB, Pokemon and shounen back then and toys, it wouldn't even be 20% of what it is now, I have no idea why they are so anal about it,THEY 100% NEED IT, jst look at the rooster anime, it was meme'd by pirates, same with korean shit nobody knew it existed before piracy showed it to the world
>>287283102I wonder if they also look at follower counts in pirate sites? Bugle Call per example has 22k follows on Mangadex which is pretty decent and it started getting officially translated into english right as japanese sales were cratering, so I wouldn't be surprised if the piracy site audience is why they published it (though maybe it was because of some survey like in your pic).
I can make a mangadex/weebdex copy. Who's gonna sponsor me the servers? I can finish the job in less than 6 months. Shan't be handling the site management or moderation though so you'll be free to do whatever you want with it
>>287283164How would you rate your experience using Netflix, Amazon, or Youtube?
>>287283143physical needs to come out slow and steady, and have good quality, otherwise people just cant keep up and dont finish their collections, hell I fell behind on mine due to short on money and now I dont even know how to catch up or complete some of them, specially due to availability of earlier volumes
>>287283118Music of all things might be the most ephemeral form of media by far kek. The vast majority of music is immediately forgotten by the listener a couple minutes after the song ends.
>>287283164Steam got created to avoid whole drm scenario that infested pc gaming during late 90 to mid 00s, amusing since steamworks is piss easy to bypass.Still, no other digital store can compete with features, people really undervalue this kind of stuff.
>>287283217Physical manga is becoming a thing for collectors pretty much, just like with games and other media. Digital sales are completely taking over.
>>287283217Problem is that shit drips onto digital, zero reasons for a digital release take 6 months to TL.
>>287283193>jst look at the rooster anime, it was meme'd by piratesWas it? I read the manga for a while years ago and it was genuinely very funny. Was it not popular in Japan?
>>287283164Steam singlehandedly reduced piracy in Russia to enthusiast level.If there was no Steam, gayming piracy would be so rampant all over the world, that kernel level DRM would've happened 10 years earlier.Ever seen these East Asia bootleg modded GTA discs? These would be everywhere.
also mangafire has an extension for mihon so you can use that, though it's currently broken on suwayomi
>>287283072see >>287283277 the extension allows you to mass download and very simply

>>287283242>Digital sales are completely taking over.actually, no, for books its going the other way, some are dropping digital in favor of books in Europe, and it just doesn't work for Latam for example, as for other media Vynils are making a huge comeback because zoomers, movies, physical sales went down because western media got killed by activists in general, anime BDs still sell, and they are so cheap to produce now that its worth it, they jts need to offer more extrasCrunchy is being sued to oblivion, again, its going to decentralize soon, lets see what we get instead>>287283269same with music and services like spotiffy, its coming back due to retarded shit like in the UK
>>287283356I just have furry, futa, guro and scatI dont even filter into english becase I might miss some good untranslated raws, or stuff somehow translated to everything but English
>>287279515You'll also kill scanlations since most fan TLs are by SEAfags lol.>that one motherfucker is STILL begging for gibs for his sick mother's medical bills
>>287283369>actually, no, for books its going the other way, some are dropping digital in favor of books in EuropeAnon, I mean for manga in japan.Also, books are a much better fit for physical formats because the density of information is much bigger. Even the most retardedly long book series like Malazan are just like 20 something books, while any manga of above average length breaks into the 30s and 40s. Books never really went fully digital. Vynils are selling but the dominant way to listen to music by far is still Spotify and itunes or whatever the apple music service is called nowadays and listening to individual songs, not full albums.
>>287283429yeah sometimes I remove the english filter, but usually I will see something translated from an author and then check their other works without language filter.

>>287283369>its coming back due to retarded shit like in the UKIt's coming back en masse in Russia too, due to the fact that most major vidiya publishers uphold sanctions, and it's practically impossible to get a legal working copy due to digital DRM and region locking.And it's not only vidiya. Major video and music streaming platforms pulled out, licence holders pulled out, even for books, so you can't even listen, watch or read legally on domestic platforms. Bootleg vidiya, TV shows and even book translations are on the rise again. It's so bizzare.
>>287283595It's a she and she got married, and she STILL begs for money despite having a husband providing financial support.
alright just migrated everything to comixhopefully they hold out
>>287283651"financial support" in SEA or whatever is probably nowhere near enough for medical bills of someone who is sick longterm

>>287283678Yeah, you can read it and weephttps://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/1e1bkw9/a_statement_and_update_from_the_founder_of_kirei/
>>287277850Good thing I haven't migrated my lists to that site.
>>287283651It's funny because it is probably just a story for the money at this point (if it wasn't that from the start kek) but the qorld of scanlating has changed so much that asking the readers drop drop a dollar or two in the credits isn't taboo anymore, so there's no need for melodrama like that to justify it.
>>287278814I mean they are pretty reliable
Wait a second this is just METAshit thread.
>>287282684Then shut up and take the banter like the black nerds did, you dumb streetshitter. God you are so fragile.
>>287283102If scanlations go under, the localizer industry is going to tank. You can find new anime by watching clips on Youtube or whatever, but finding new manga? Yeah, I'm totally going to pay for something I might end up dropping.
>>287283692On the other hand, manga publishing is growing strong. Most new series get nice hardcover releases.
>>287283597>>287283775>zoomers scared of torrents because they are evilThey admit to be newfags from reddit and then someone else turns out to be a /v/tard shilling a product. I expect nothing.
>>287283632Also more and more websites are blocking slav IPs on their side for no reason now.
>>287281688>>287282617Indians have gotta be the biggest bitches on the Internet right now. Why are you even on /a/ if you're going to cry like this
>>287283259This. I remember that classic blue sj manga site of yonder that had redraws, tl and uploaded within 2days after sj dropped. Any big publisher can license chapters and just upload them while waiting for a volume to tl
>>287283913That they do.
>>287283852I thought Russia gov was anal against animu/mango, that's a cool release

>>287283986Don't read fake news.Most "controversial anime bans" can be boiled down to "a pirate anime site posted an anime with titties without appropriate rating markings, delete". Oh, and the Death Note scare, but it's a common thing as far as I understand.
>>287284073oh that's neat, I thought you guys couldn't even watch Konosuba kek, so no problems with even loli etc?
>>287281449true, especially will all the people getting straight up prison sentences for hosting piracy sites in third world countries in the last few years
>>287284126Isn't isekai banned?
>>287284155It would be pretty fucking funny if it was.
>>287277850Why is he blaming vibecoders? I don't see how they had anything to do with him? I guess other than storage and RAM getting more expensive.
>>287284190I'm pretty sure it was banned under some moral panic that it might cause suicides.
Where do I go now? Comix?
retvrn
>>287284126I don't think that Konosuba anime was officially released in Russia, but LN was.As for lolis, i'm not sure. Explicit stuff is almost certainly a no-no (even if it wasn't for paedophilia, Russia prohibits illegal production and distribution of porn, yet there is no framework for legal production or distribution). However, OreImo was published there, not sure if it counts.>>287284155What? No. Moreover, a Russian specific variety of isekai , when a regular guy gets, for example, reincarnated as Stalin and goes on preemptive assault against Nazi Germany is probably the most popular genre of literature.>>287284198Lol. Lmao even. Don't read fake news.
>>287284194it's a satire. no one is blaming anyone, you're taking it too personal.
>>287284198Five minutes in google. Apparently now this is one of official anime distributors in Russia. https://vk.com/deepThey have all those isekai and even MT licensed. I just remember re-watching MT with official Russian dub (for science). Before CR and all other websites pulled the plug.
>>287278266You know I've been working on a scanlation site that'd get around all the DMCA bullshit. Wonder if I should bite the bullet and finish it. I'd need to get into contact with scanlators for feedback. Anyone know who I may contact?
>>287284357Somehow i doubt youAnyway, just go to the scanlation thread
>>287280434If you're going to do this, rangeban all of india, and do NOT allow manwha, manhua and webtoons, or any chinese / korean shit because they're notorious for getting entire websites nukes.
>>287284378I'm an actual software dev and am using an approach that has legal precedent in other industries. Biggest thing is getting a scanlation audience and helping them centralize. >>287278943 see my post at >>287284357I'm serious about the technicals making sense. I just suck at the making connections and product feedback part.
>>287284401weebdex started on the /isekai/ thread then he shilled it on reddit. if he can do it you can do it too
>>287284432Sounds autistic enough to work. I didn't even know there was an isekaintbread. And do I just go full autism on some scanlation general or something here? And where on Reddit? I'm legitimately that retarded (although I shouldn't feel ashamed of not knowing Reddit)
>>287278890It's actually still getting translated and it's up to date, check on reddit
Your site will not survive new wave of DMCA era no matter what you do. You need to host it outside of their jurisdiction. Look at rutracker. It doesn't give a fuck about any DMCA. I think it hosted in baltic state.Anyway because you're asking questions on 4chan, you're NGMI.
>>287283443literally nothing of value would be lost.the moment it becomes extremely obvious a TL is done by some third worlder who isn't proficient in their language, much less English OR Japanese I just drop it and move on.those fucks actually ruin the "scene" by picking up/speed low quality TL'ing series and other groups drop it because they can't keep up or skip over it because "well it's getting TL'd already I guess..."would unironically rather read MTL slop than that shit.
>>287284465Just make the site first, faggot
>>287284498>those fucks actually ruin the "scene" by picking up/speed low quality TL'ing series and other groups drop it because they can't keep up or skip over it because "well it's getting TL'd already I guess..."Based SEAgods dabbing on e-peeners.
>>287284600not really though because those SEA groups also slather shit with watermarks and beg for donations because $10 USD is enough to cover rent and food for a week.they're actually outright worse than e-peen groups since at least the e-peen groups usually have at least tolerable level quality to make up for being so insufferable.
Is there a manga site using webtorrent yet?Just host your own seeder on a separate host (with rotating IPv6 addresses if possible) so it's as fast as a normal website while being difficult to DMCA, shouldn't be too expensive.
>>287282866that's actually intentional, they don't want you snooping/modifying their code or checking the requests so they use some debug fuckery to detect devtools and usual send your javascript engine into a debug breakpoint loop or similar

>>287278772it's a nice weekend projectthe problem is actually getting someone that can and is willing to>handle the costs>run it without any retarded drama>willing to handle the possible legal trouble
>>287282036Just hosting only manga would still get you thousands of visitors a day, on a semi-successful site.
>>287284697fine, but don't whine about vibecoded slop
and the WORST part is, is that this faggot didn't even like manga in the FIRST PLACE! This all wouldn't have happened if he wasn't such a tourist of the hobby. I bet he's jerking off to a paused screen of some series he's streaming on CR this second
>>287284666Are you stupid? It's even more easy to dmca everyone in a torrent swarm than it is to dmca a site. The reason being is that I have the IP addresses of everyone who connects to the swarm. So I can dmca both the seeder and all the peers I connect to. The only reason why anime companies haven't done this is because they aren't as aggressive about policing anime torrents as the movie and tv people are about policing those. Furthermore, if you want to avoid DMCAs there's only like 1 or 2 hosts that ignore it, or you have to get your server put into the server rack at a data centre or somewhere in romania or another third world country. Annas archive and libgen are both on the same host. You need to get that host.This by itself is not secure enough so you need to reverse proxy to your actual host.
>>287284357You're like the third person in this thread to say they're working on something>>287279604>>287283199I won't get my hopes up but please at least open source your shit so we don't keep having to start from scratch every time this happens

>>287284734>can't discuss anything you read with other fellow anons
>>287284401>Biggest thing is getting a scanlation audience and helping them centralize.The problem with the scanlation thread is that you're going to run into innit anon, who is an absolute brain-dead autistic piece of shit that is going to demand that you do things in certain ways. Also, in my opinion, you just need to get a site that functions in a similar way as MD does, and as more scanlators use it, they'll give you feedback on what to improve and what to scrape. Also, for the love of god, if you are going to allow korean and chink shit on the site, make the reader auto-adjust its settings so that you don't have to change them every time you read manga or web toons. Oh and give the option for group leaders to block users from reading your releases, it would be so funny to block the people that hate you but still read your shit. I'm speaking from experience :3

>>287284771What's the issue? That's the point of open source.
>>287284727It can't be easier to DMCA an IP address compared to a DMCA'ing the website that hosts the data. You need your ISP to respond to the DMCA requests and bother you about it. Besides, you can easily use a seedbox to host the content instead of a normal host, or use a VPN, or run everything behind a mobile ISP.

The people talking about funding and creating a site in this thread really should combine efforts and if it genuinely gets off the ground, post updates on /a/ and /g/. I hope something comes out of all these disasters

>>287284835>>287284877All IPs belong to a specific IP block which you can literally just lookup.There's a abuse hotline for every server provider. >Besides, you can easily use a seedbox to host the content instead of a normal hostMost seedboxes ban use outside of a private tracker - the reason being that they aren't actually dmca resistant. The ones that don't are hosted on the same DMCA resistant servers as for the websites. Also, you have to pay in bitcoin or else those hosts will know who you are, which means that just like with those dmca resistant sites it's very slim pickings - indeed they are going to be the same host. Most people who run trackers don't trust all their methods to stay safe, which is why private trackers exist and you have to have someone vet for you, often multiple people, to get into the top ones.
god the alternatives fucking sucks.
>>287284985But 140,000 jobs were created in the US in just this month. The Labor Department said so.
>>287278629"vibe coding" is not just using AI while programming. It's using AI as a substitute for knowledge and crossing your fingers that it'll work out.At worst, it's something that non-programmers do to cosplay as programmers.At best, it's junior devs trying to do something beyond their skill level and passing it as their own work.
>>287285024>>287285060Honestly, dunno how hard would it be to go underground-lite to a purely .onion TOR site or .garlic 12P tracker, 12P torrents are basically invisible, but slow as fuck, but there's that>>287285060>Bitcointhat's trackeable, but dunno how much of a fuck do they have to give to do thatso I would reccomend Monero and get donations on that

Man what a dick a of an admin
>>287278629It's what we used to call 'script kiddies' back in the day, before AI slop ruined the world
>>287285168No, I'm not sure why you think that.
>>287285165You can't survive without cloudflare for the ddos protection. Look at how even annas archive acknowledges that they have to use the honeypot. Cloudflare knows everything, so if they ever co operated in anything other than CP or whatever enforcement they do, every piracy site would be fucked
>>287284777>The problem with the scanlation thread is that you're going to run into innit anon, who is an absolute brain-dead autistic piece of shit that is going to demand that you do things in certain ways. My implementation is a crap shoot. I won't lie. But it should be easy as it can be without legal violations. It's one of those things that it will have more friction than a traditional site but it'll have longevity by not getting ass blasted by DMCA. >>287284515I already built it retard. Just need to host the thing.
>>287285191>It's not just X, it's Y>at worst, it's X>at best, it's YThe post itself sounded human but having these patterns immediately set off my botdar.
>>287285060>All IPs belong to a specific IP block which you can literally just lookup.There's a abuse hotline for every server provider.Where are you from? Torrent traffic isn't illegal in 95% countries. To force ISP do to anything you need to sue someone for real but you can't do this based on dynamic IPs and ISP are not obligated to show MACs too all clowns unless you're from cuck country.
Koreans ruined everythingNips are right about them
>>287285208if you already built it then just shill it on r/mangapiracy, r/animepiracy and r/piracy
>>287285209AI broke your mind.
>>287285211>Where are you from? Torrent traffic isn't illegal in 95% countries.Torrents of any kind are against the TOS of pretty much every server (shared) period. And pirated material is against the TOS of every single server in existence, except maybe that host that annas archive and libgen is hosted on because that one is famous for going on lengthy schizo rants and ignoring shit. You can fly under the radar for a while by using hosts in third world countries but it will never be advertised as a feature.
>>287285209Huh, maybe I've become a bot after all. Beep boop
>>287285098Yeah, but essentially scanlation will never die.I’d probably post to a few promotional sites like here and manga subreddit, use cubari through imgchest or catbox, upload to a random shitty aggregator, and put releases on a mega for good measure. For me that’d be more than enough to get my stuff around. The aggregators scrape from each other as well.
Whoever is going to """host""" their new site will eventually take it down. We all know comix is going to shut down. It's just a matter of when.If it's not decentralized, or you're not lined with deep pockets, you're just asking to be next on the DOA list.
>>287285242>Torrents of any kind are against the TOS(You)
>>287285211The way people get megafucked in third world countries like americas is because A) dynamic IPs don't exist anymore due to IPV4 shortages, it's all behind a strict NAT so multiple people can share 1 address and B) because the ISP knows what IP was assigned to who at one time so they just send the letter anyway. Cowardly ISPs will send the letters to people on that IP address at the same time. Also, in the past, p2p enforcement was extremely high. Limewire, kazoo shit was all targeted. Nowadays, torrents have mostly been forgotten so the enforcement is less and people now think it's safe. People usually find out how 'safe' torrents are when they upload things like screeners and then have lawyers up their ass. For anime and manga literally no one has cared about checking swarms, which is why it's 'safe' to download because you need someone in the swarm at all times to catch people, meaning that you actually need to work to some degree to catch people. Even so, because of DHT, a torrent that is uploaded to your site can end up in literally anyone's hands which is why private trackers go to such an autistic degree, ensuring that there's a private flag on the torrents to prevent randos finding it, embedding the torrents with a key so they can track who spreads it around and only letting vetted users into their sites. It's only if you are a top uploader that you can vetted to join other sites and you often needs to upload thousands to be vetted and there's rotating recruitment schedules on private trackers and people can still deny you access to an invite if you aren't considered active enough.
>>287285311have you even checked the TOS for hosts? often there's exclusive provisions saying that you can't run torrent clients, hentai at home and all the other stuff that they love preventing people from using. and for seedboxes, there's usually NO PUBLIC TRACKERS ALLOWED
>>287285315I'm not sure if you can get "torrent warnings" letters in US. It sounds more like EU/UK/Japan thing.
>>287277850Wow, what an attention seeking faggot. Servers are going to cost MONEY? who would have thought? WAAAAAH here's my blog post!!!!It's like those faggot "artists" who wipe their accounts because something went a tiny bit wrong in their lives. I bet he will come back with another project next year too.
>>287285339In the EU the ISPs usually do nothing but there are law firms that download stuff from you and sue you for distribution in the name of copyright holders.
>>287285350>It's like those faggot "artists" who wipe their accounts because something went a tiny bit wrong in their lives. I bet he will come back with another project next year too.Nah. It's just some zoomer decided to YOLO THIS IS EZ NO CAP FRFR. He will not come back.
>>287285350what a way to nitpick words out of multiple paragraphs
>comix servers already shitting the bedOh boy
>>287285339there was a recent ruling telling companies to not send letter or harass people without actual legal action, basically told them to fuck off like they did with the music industry in the 00's,both Japan and the US are tired of Nintendo's "legal" spam it seems
>>287279934Nobody and I mean NOBODY wants to fucking download manga what is wrong with you>go to chapter link>download .torrent file>double click it>wait for to download>navigate to the folder>unzip>wait for it to unzip>navigate to the images>double click the images>repeat 1000 times for EVERY. SINGLE. CHAPTER.
>>287285393What am I nitpicking? He says he wanted to maintain the site with his own money but he's closing the site because he was running out of his own money and attention he was getting was not big enough for his liking ("passion has faded").The button at the end tells you everything you need to know about that faggot.
>>287285339>"torrent warnings" letters in USOh, it happens and its more than just a letter. My ISP did some MITM shit on me, injected a fuck ass message box telling me to cut it out and delete it, and then shut my internet down for a few hours.
>>287285377Depends on the country. Afaik Germany is very cucked when it comes to piracy (and many other things nowadays kek) but on other countries I've only head about people getting in trouble for very egregious stuff.
>>287285420With the rate these sites keep dying you will soon have no other choice than to rely on decentralised distribution
What the fuck.I just finished migrating a subset of my backlog there literally yesterday.Though only thing I have downloaded from start to finish is Nobels web manga that were recently deleted from MD.If anyone cares here it is: https://limewire.com/d/LYnjV#KAvIw2yIBc in all its tachiyomi/suwayomi backwards filenames retardation.>>287285386>some zoomerIsn't he the "schale network" guy?>>287285420Comic reader applications can jump from chapter to chapter automatically. Always could.

>>287285420
>>287285420>>double click the images>>repeat 1000 times for EVERY. SINGLE. CHAPTER.If they are properly ordered you can just switch between images using the arrows from the keyboard like on any site anon.I've never downloaded manga but I'm thinking about startibg to build up a library with some of my favourite ines that don't have an official translation in case they ever get nuked off the face if the earth.
>>287285420dls basically bypasses the entire torrent dilemma
>>287285450>attention he was getting was not big enough for his liking ("passion has faded").what the fuck are you talking about? 'Burned out' is literally in the first paragraph and he's saying he'd rather shut the site down than let it degrade into ad-ridden shit hole
>>287285490You 100% should download your favs, even f you are buying them physical, specially doujins, for both back up and preservation
>>287285420I download volume raws and magazines and it works fine for me honestly. If people release in volumes instead of chapters it’s entirely viable.
>>287285490Are you using Windows picture viewer?Get at least a proper comic viewer that you can read in double page mode like intended.
>>287285529nta but>had to go through the trouble of using Lutris on Linux to install honeyviewer since there's no equivalent or a GOOD FUCKING IMAGE VIEWERmy one complain on Linux, had to write this, move along
>>287285460>>287285461I'm not gonna bloat up my PC even further with some shitty program just to make the process go from extremely annoying to very annoying
Has anyone ever explored the viability of a WebTorrent based manga site?I've never gotten it to work, but it purports to offer a JavaScript API to, on the client's end, have them download the contents of a torrent (a page) to a Javascipt variables, where after the torrent is done, can change an <img>'s scr to that variable.You would therefore only have to serve a list of tiny single-page torrents hidden under a Mangadex-like UI at a very minimal cost, which the uploader at least would seed.You would open source it once it works and put the list of torrents on Github as a JSON file or something. If you stop hosting the site, there will be 100 other hosts with the same libraries.Seems like the ideal solution. Maybe I'll give it another go.
>>287285529Only image viewer I bother with is irfanview, and that’s because of its orher functions.
>>287285543I use Mcomix3. The hard part is getting a decent epub reader that works. I currently use Foliate but it has its issues.
>>287285574Is there really any point in using an epub viewer? I just extract the images.
>>287285574>epub readerIf you only want a reader, not a library manager, try Readest.It has the best ux and customization out of all I've tried.
>>287285529>Get at least a proper comic viewerZoomer cringe. I use gamepad and wndows picture viewer.
>>287285544>bloatgrandpa, what are you running, windows 95 with 1gb ram?????
If your day wasn't shitty enough I'm here to let you know that kemono is dead too.
>>287285509tbf adding ads might as well be the same as killing the site since it means you're killing your chance of competing against mangadex on leddit (they ban sites with ads with the exception of mangadex itself)
Why not make something like a hybrid torrent/reader site that can be easily copied in case of emergencies? Like a nyaa for manga, but with an integrated manga reader so it gets traction. Manga's just image files. I'm sure scan groups won't mind getting a dedicated seedbox up if the site is decent.Granted, I have no clue whether something like that already exists, can't exist, or what exactly weebdex wanted to accomplish here. Never used it.But for anime we have nyaa, and for books I use one of the zillion libgen offshoots. Not nearly so much issues. Mainly manga is cursed, and I believe that is because the average user simply can't do without their online reading experience. It won't catch on.So such a non-centralized online reader sounds very sexy to my (non-technical) mind.>>287280471>>287280774This is talking about a similar idea, no? Good luck anons.
>>287285563That's even more insecure due to all the "people" (retards) using chrome or not properly setting their privacy settings, as far as I know,
>>287285685The alternative is having the torrent client run server-side, which would require a fuckload of storage, bandwidth, and put the liability on the host like Mangadex did, which was unsustainable. You'd also need to be located in Russia or somewhere else with world class internet.I still assert that Webtorrent, or something similar which can run in pure HTML5 and JS on the user's end without installing anything, is the only solution.A return to Limewire/GNUtella/eDonkey to distribute the load would be better, but the masses demand it works in a web browser.
>>287285769..do we CARE about the masses?
>>287285565>that’s because of its orher functions.such as?
>>287285785Your IP is not private regardless of the method. How is leeching a page of Yotsubato via torrent any worse than downloading it via HTTP? I don't see why you say it's worse.
>>287285786Batch renaming and converting to name a few.
>>287285769people still got dmca struck from popcorn time and that sort of shit because you are still in a swarm.
>>287282746>>287282678A separate torrent for each manga chapter would mean a LOT of torrents to keep healthy, yes.If you'd wanna go full autist, you could implement some kind of reward system for seeding to help alleviate this, but it would make the entire thing a lot more complex.Private trackers always had even the most obscure shit seeded, but they got nuked off the public internet years ago. They're still around, but so insular they might as well not exist anymore. Man, I miss the early 2010s...I remember downloading the most obscure shit like OST CDs from shit nobody watched decades past and it was all properly seeded. Or yes, using XDCC bots on IRC.Zoomies use Discord now and have all become gay.
>>287285665It won’t be long before the manga subreddit is forgotten and other places have taken its place, it’s a shadow of what it was just a couple of years ago. My guess is that tiktok will take its place for promoting your stuff. It holds next to no other value than promoting your releases. Doesn’t help than some big actors drown your releases with bot posts to stop them hitting the front page since vote manipulation doesn’t work anymore.
Make a manga site development thread on /g/ if you're actually serious about creating an alternative, or all of this will be moot once the thread 404s.
>>287285657Why?
>>287285665Reddit sucks since a mangadex mod has coup’ed the subreddit, refuses to let anyone link elsewhere than mangadex, and refused to let other mods in. Typical mangadex behavior.
/g/ built Pantsu nyaa so they should be interested in this. Weebdom runs deep.
Just stop reading manga. Anime, LNs and VNs are better.
>>287285870>PantsuThe thing that ran on a toaster and struggled to let more than 10 anons to access at a time?
I honestly don't mind that much, ww3 is happening soon anyway, everything fades
>>287285889it's because that /g/ fag ran it on a toaster in his own basement. I'm glad that anons talked him out of that shit before he was sued to hell. Some people have NO sense of opsec!
>>287285824good thing I've kept my anime ost collection on a external all these years, its not much, but yeah getting some is a bitch nowadays, and Im a physical fag,
>>287285882>LNs and VNs are better.lol
>>287285882Manga are better than their anime adaptations more often than not these days. The rest I agree with.
>>287285667You are describing e-hentai
>>287285824at some point you just let the individual chapters ones die out and keep the volume ones alive once a volume is completed
>>287285667>Why not makeBecause manga somehow doesn't have dedicated enough fans for thatYou have russians making INFINITE amounts of movie/games pirating websites but anime ones keep having this issue
>>287285904dunno why scanlators dont do this anymore, I do want to archive stuff, but man I cant even catch up to Rozen Gartden without reading online
>>287285892WW3 started a month ago anon.
>>287285657Works on my machine
>>287285921Not at all whatsoever, the Iran thing is just Israel trying to make Greater Israel still, it's landgrabbingNow that their leader who was "prophetised to bring on the apocalypse" died I could see Israel starting ww3 out of spite but that's besides the point
>>287285824>A separate torrent for each manga chapter would mean a LOT of torrents to keep healthy, yes.But why? You can just update torrent. That's how ongoing releases work.
>>287285911anime and hentai are super archived online you will find anything, manga is another issue entirely for some reason doujins are easier to find, even ancient ones kekOnly thing that became super obscure is the Tsukihime anime kek
>>287285937Net & Yahoo is alive and well, you gullible fool
>>287285921really? fuck I just lost a bet
>>287285901>Manga are better than their anime adaptations more often than not these daysBur if we stop reading manga we will have better and more fun times in anime threads. Think about it logically.
>>287285949No, he's dead, and the US is getting drained of billions of dollars on this landgrab because Israel overplayed their hand. You're the one falling for this "the jews are infallible" propaganda. But again, besides the point.
>>287285919I’d at most make a mega with my releases. You’re really entitled if you think scanlators are going to make torrents of single chapters that nobody cares about. I didn’t even bother with backuping my releases, and I nuked them from mangadex, so now the only places they’re available are like mangafire.You should stop expecting that random strangers will do a lot of work for you. Touch grass. We’re in this for our own interests.
>>287285963Ill be honest, I sometimes wish we didn't have LNs fags spoiling everything and anything
>>287285943Yeah I meant manga, sorry.
>>287285976For me it's whining that they skipped the 5 different scenees of Dick Chungus going to the bathroom for 50 pages or whatever
Maybe it's not a good idea to let a single guy run these sites. Sooner or later the all sperg out or act like retards when the legal barrage starts
>>287285938Fair I suppose. I usually don't follow ongoing series like that, but good to know it is possible.
>>287285903How the fuck does their site work?I have a hunch e-hentai's server downloads pages temporarily when the user clicks in, a php execute command on page request probably launches a bash script on their end to download a page in rtorrent or something so it's ready temporarily for the user. Their client must be an exception in the swarm with no leeching restriction.I did something similar with a web-based podcast site I wrote, although I stored everything permanently and never included redownloading.Any techfag with more experience with them know the actual answer? This is all I can come up with.
>>287285976Honestly, anyone complaining about LN adaptations have never seen the absolute state of "adaptations" of my favourite western books. At least characters are in character and at least the most important scenes are shown and the art is usually pretty good. God.
>>287285994Yes, it should be run by a council. Or a soviet, if you may.
>Sooner or later the all sperg out or act like retards when the legal barrage startsIt seems only cheese autists are able to endure the rigorous hurdles or the internet. The will to fight thrives in only the most retarded.
The good thing about all this is that people will start using aggregators that have official releases, so the publishers will lose even more money. Serves them right.
>>287286002They have a custom p2p cdn / distributed filesystem - hentai@homeTorrents are not integrated into their web reader cdn, just optional extras done manually by users.
>>287286016Fairly certain the only reason Holo hasn’t buried Mangadex a long time ago is because he wants to sell it to make a dime. He’s been in the fansub/scanlation scene since at least 2009 and is a middle aged man now, I sorta doubt he’s as interested in anime tiddies now as he used to be.
Still a I2P manga tracker is not a bad idea, as inconvenient as it would be and slow, its basically invisible to your ISP and most stuff even without VPN, there's at least that back up for cases like this
>>287286045>is a middle aged man now, I sorta doubt he’s as interested in anime tiddies now as he used to be.....w-what's wrong with that
It's not really hard to make nyaa analog for manga or just host site outside of jurisdictions. The issue is mostly zoomer translators, their DO NOT STEAL, epeens and the fear of dmca or licensed = drop.

>>287286031Is there any reason H@H couldn't work for hosting scanlator releases coupled to a reader?Might be an interesting experiment to set up ?
>>287285617You want the table of contents and get the pages aligned correctly.
>>287282233A succinct way to put it. A Mexican'll do the job better though.
>>287286097because they can get away with it with porn barely anyone wants to C&D, and that's NEVER, EVER going to see the light of day outside Japan and Comiket, like who the fuck is ging to C&D you for Lo or the like
>>287286097MD tried to fork H@H at some point before hombre happened, back when they still had pc desktop web UI, not the phonetard redesign.
>>287286097mangadex did it and created md@home, then scrapped it and went back to hosting on their own servers and using cloudflare to cache themno one is going to run it unless you give users some incentive like e-hentai, which rewards users with hath. just clone e-hentai's currency system, lock some features behind the e-currency and reward users based on activity or by running an H@H equivalent.
>>287282311The combination of SnK ending and the fourth Rebuild movie dropping was a board breaking event tbdesu.
>>287286133>just clone e-hentai's currency system, lock some features behind the e-currency and reward users based on activityCan we have raids, dailies and DPS logs?
>>287286133To this day I've got no idea how to get those rewards and my account is blessed somehow, never posted in the forum or anythingmaybe because my account is ancient and they favored those kek
>>287286153I want to be here when One Piece ends, god, its going to be the true end of the old anime fandom and internet fandom banter era
>>287286163you will click on random encounters in hentaiverse and you will like it
>>287286133>just clone e-hentai's currency system, lock some features behind the e-currency and reward users based on activity or by running an H@H equivalent.Would need good design choices. Definitely not easyIf you promise some nice scanlator rewards and user rewards both it could be interesting as a concept though.Man, I'd help hosting just because I prefer decent scan quality over ad-ridden low res slop alone, but I dunno how autistic the average mangatard is nowadays.
>>287286164I think they lifted some restrictions. There were shadowbans on registration for some ips.
>>287286203yeah dunno what happened, but I never complained, I did help seed stuff for a time long ago,on the other hand there was this other website where I basically got blocked with a error and could never recover my account since the-mail thing got bugged ,Baka BT?
>>287286164>To this day I've got no idea how to get those rewardsNeeds to be on e, not on ex
>>287286164You get daily allowance of read/download points.Hath is used for permanent feature unlocks like more thumbnails per page.>>287286245BakaBT is a rotting zombie now, but you should have contacted admins asap when you got locked out of the account recovery.
>>287286251the only thing I use credits for is GP so I can download stuffI've got more than I'll ever need most likely.
>>287277850I never used it, was it good?
how come sadpanda is undefeated?
>>287286382panda is just as cucked as md
>>287286382Strong autism.
>>287286382By bending the knee and RMTs keeping the site afloat.
>>287286382>he doesn't knowIt got Yamcha'd years ago
>>287286382Part of the cartel. Controllable resistance.
>>287286382they expunge reported galleries. expunge = dmca'd
https://github.com/TNTKien/better-suicaodexsuicaodex.comThis site used the weebdex api but is now dead since it didn't even host its own content and just piggy backed off weebdex's servers. Might be useful to salvage whatever source code or just layout. Hell it even has a dual page with a customizable page offset for its reader. Unfortunately the interface language is in Vietnamese and it seems to be vibe coded so probably not very useful.
>>287286452>Unfortunately the interface language is in VietnameseLudo
>>287286382Sadpanda owner actually planned to close down the website without any warning until a former mod named Maximum Joe ruined his plan by snitching on 4chan. However, Maximum Joe is now dead so there is no longer any Sadpanda mod capable of guilt tripping the owner to not go down with the ship in the future.
>>287286452>DeadShould clarify you can still open the site and click on titles but chapters won't load so you can't get a look at the reader.
>>287285625Is there a way to adjust the default width of the table of contents? I generally like having the ToC pinned but the standard width causes it to push the images into the page counter. I'd have to manually adjust the ToC width of every book or remove the footer.
>>287286452https://files.catbox.moe/2f8uub.zip
Sadpanda also just tries to stay very quiet. Notice how it's always the aggregator sites that get hit.
>>287286370it barely worked in the end and images never loadedit didn't have a lot of traffic, the only ones people were reading there were from the groups not allowed on mangadex basicallyit's not a particularly big loss, but it sucks that there's not a good alternative place for scanlators to upload anymore with comick, batoto, and now weebdex gone. the places that allow uploads like mangago, mangaball, and mangatoro are borderline unusable and filled with adsI think any sane person know that mangadex's downfall is not far off, the writing is on the wall, so the scanlation scene is going to take a major dive when it's eventually gone>>287286576sadpanda gets hit every single day anon, both fakku and irodori send out automated DMCAs on artists from their magazines. I've seen stuff being taken down in less than fifteen minutes
>>287286708>fakku and irodori send out automated DMCAs on artists from their magazines.Lost some good stuff from those fuckheads.
>>287286552There's custom css in the settings but I tried adjusting sidebar through it and it does not seem to work.Usually you can check css structure in their browser version and apply it to desktop version but some variables seem to be forced with js instead.
>>287286552Oh wait it's in settings.json>globalReadSettings>sideBarWidth
I have the source code. Sigh...
>>287286892That's bullshit but I believe it.
Who cares about source code, give me the promised torrents with content backup.
>>287277850victim of the recent layoffs? or a victim of ww3? I can't think of any other reason
>>287286798Where is that stores? I don't see anything in .config
>>287286963AI shit, most likely.
>>287286967Sorry I only use portable windows version
>>287286963rising ram and storage prices made server hosting more expensive
>>287287147isnt the entire internet at risk due to these retards?at least the ram prices already dropped, a little,also ram is not the problem, is availability, in a lot of cases, the bubble is goig to pop hard anyway, we might be able to have our own miniserver at home for a while depending on how hard it crashes
>>287287368I don't think a little miniserver at home is going to be enough to handle this kind of traffic little friend.I doubt server costs are going to decrease even if ram prices fall, once increased they stay increased.
>>287285098It's because mangadex didn't die "completely" that we're in this state.
>>287286993>>287286967Found it. I had the Flatpak version installed and those have their config under .var/app/com.bilingify.readest/config/com.bilingify.readest
