Thanks. I had several ideas for these bulbs as well. This is the one I decided to act on for now. I might work on some of the others later but I'm not sure. I agree there are so many potential uses for this sort of thing and I love how they just sort of exist without drawing attention or suspicion.
These are just examples I could legally include in a public github repository to demonstrate the functionality. The alternative would be to include copyrighted works or nothing. The user is free to include any books that are important to them.
I chose these books as examples precisely because they are out of copyright and available on project Gutenberg. They also had been banned or challenged on the USA in the past. Project Gutenberg has a list of "banned books" on their own website and these are all included.

It's designed so the user can include whatever books are important to them wherever they may live. They may live somewhere more oppressive where banned books are a common occurrence. I have no idea. It wouldn't be wise to include copyrighted works in a public repository where I live.

It feels like old Google with more features. Unfortunately it's not free but they just today announced unlimited search for $10/month which for me is quite reasonable. I sometimes hit over 1000 searches per month (1532 is my record so far). Although it costs money I like knowing that kagi is the product, not me or my data m
It will spit out a URL you can use to sign into the console using the keys instead of a user account. Maybe this will help you in the meantime while you are trying to fix the root problem. Good luck!
I just set up a YaCy instance myself last week after being inspired by your post on hackernews from ~7 months ago. Thanks for sharing that. I found some other helpful resources online for this too. I wrote about my configuration in case it might be helpful for anyone else who'd like yo play with YaCy for bookmarking. I haven't had it up long enough to know how useful it will be for me yet, but its been fun to play with. I also wrote an Android app to help me index specific pages from my mobile device with just a few taps.
