How to run a shadow library: operations at Anna’s Archive
(annas-blog.org)
" I run Anna’s Archive, the world’s largest open-source non-profit search engine for shadow libraries, like Sci-Hub, Library Genesis, and Z-Library. Our goal is to make knowledge and culture readily accessible, and ultimately to build a community of people who together archive and preserve all the books in the world ... In this article I’ll show how we run this website, and the unique challenges that come with operating a website with questionable legal status, since there is no “AWS for shadow charities”."
I really liked the article linked in the article, about how to select technology for a new/improved system.
Hint: boring is typically a good bet.
