last i checked it was very difficult to run your own instance (including voice chats)

google killed the ability to search in js-disabled browsers like those

indeed, it did feel 100% ai slop at first glance

recently saw this article here, i’m not sure if ecosia is a good solution now. their results seem mostly identical to ddg/bing too though it’s occasionally better than them for some reason

qwant is good, but they geoblock certain countries including mine since 2023 or so. having to use proxy/vpn for just searching really sucks

not a proxy, it directly uses google cse on client side so it’s no better than directly using google

yeah, i search with ‘before 2023’ to filter AI slop often

google (and few other engines) keep giving me errors, and search results mostly empty due to timeouts (or even with no error, there’s just only few results that are completely unrelated to the query)

ddg gets results from bing, startpage is the one that gets results from google

looks neat, will look into it. tysm!

kinda works, but their results are a bit crippled compared to google (also, no way to search specific timeframe)

is this on a residential IP? are you running vanilla options or any api tokens?

fuck off clanker

bruh i literally mentioned in the post that SearXNG isn’t working properly

ddg is my primary right now, it absolutely sucks for korean queries sadly

i don’t have any complex ‘webapp’ hosted on www. just static files and few simple cgi scripts. i keep my httpd and sshd up to date. that seems to be good enough

there’s nothing important on the server anyway, so i don’t have much to lose even if i get pwned

i’d rather say ban opaque algorithmic feeds and such. this whole shit is nonsense, there’s not even a universal definition of social media.

isn’t unrar open source?

what the fuck

i always use curl icanhazip.com for checking my external IP… iirc some “IoT” devices also use it for some reason

the idea sounds interesting and its also similar to what ive considered making some time ago. but why tf did you mess it up with this ai slop wall of text? heck, i’d even understand if you used LLMs in the code due to lack of skills, i’m also not a good programmer and i’m sympathetic. but there’s really no reason for having this entire post written by an LLM.
