One of the things that the Stack Overflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led. If it’s a VC-funded startup, they will sell out their users at some point.
Looks like 16.9 GiB for stackoverflow.com.sqlite.br (16.9GiB) and roughly 6 GiB for the rest. Maybe people running #SearXNG instances could add searches on data dumps like these?
@santiago@capitaobviodev Buscadores diversos, há. O problema é o custo de sair visitando cada página por aí e indexando, por isso há um certo oligopólio. Outro alternativo de destaque é Brave Search.
Contudo, por enquanto, para ter os melhores resultados e ainda não ficar escravo de software privativo de liberdade, que infelizmente ainda é o caso de DDG e creio que também o do Brave, o contorno é usar um metabuscador como #4get ou #SearXNG. Uma exemplar instância é mantida por @cadusilva 👏
I'm really disappointed with DuckDuckGo lately. It has been enshittified by adding the new AI feature and search quality has been deteriorated, so I don't trust them anymore. I'm thinking of switching to searXNG, but I'm not interested in self-hosting. So looking for trustworthy public instance which has strict no-log policy, any suggestions?
Well #DuckDuckGo drank the cool aid. Can we just not plug hallucinating AI into every single thing? I've been meaning to get #SearXNG going on my infra. I guess it's time now.
Ich hoste mit #Yunohost meine eigenen Dienste. Darunter z.b. #invidious#searxng und #xmpp. Nun wollte ich gerne mal nachfragen, wie sicher das ganze ist, wenn ich z.b. Die Suchmaschine und auch XMPP öffentlich ins Netz stellen würde; was muss beachtet werden? Oder sollte ich davon ganz absehen?
@kev if you have a personal server, you might be interested in selfhosting searxng.
You can aggregate searchs from different engines, filter out domains, redirect domains (e.g. reddit.com -> old.reddit.com), etc.
One step further from the #GAFAM and because I think I will litteraly rip my head off if I use Bing / Google / etm only to be faced with AI spoiled results.
Withdrawal syndroms are over, farewell #kagi.
I’m quite happy going back to #Qwant as a search engine and I use various #searxng when I need different results
Given the whole current situation with Kagi and Brave and my disappointment at the CEO's "keep politics out of tech" tech bro BS, I fear I might have to switch search engines again.
What I want is basically Google's index without its tracking, and being able to completely remove whole domains from the results (killer feature of Kagi for me). Happy to pay.
I've tried DDG in the past and was not happy with the quality. Maybe searxng? But no filtering there.
To be able to properly evaluate #SearXNG as an alternative to #Kagi, I've just set up an instance in my homelab.
Next Kagi payment cycle is coming up next week, until then I'll hopefully know if this works or not. If anything can test how well a search engine works for me, it's a work week.
The experience with my self-hosted #SearXNG meta search engine is so far not perfect, but good enough.
I've just cancelled my #Kagi Pro subscription and will delete the account once that runs out on Sunday.
I wanted to love Kagi, loved its (stated) goals, but if the project leader goes all "keep politics out of tech" as reaction to criticism about collaborating with Brave, then it's apparently just one more tech-bro project out there, and I don't need to support that with my money.
Ne du, so was wie #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage & #Ecosia liefern Daten ihrer Crawler wie #Bing (M$) und/oder #Google. Pseudonymisiert ist nicht anonym, denn die sind vertraglich dazu verpflichtet.
🧵 …neben den #Web-Suchmaschinen wie @MetaGer, @Mojeek, @monocles und #SearXNG Servern (siehe oben weshalb) probiere ich nun struct.com aus. Das ist eine in #Rust / #RustLang entwickelte #OpenSource Suchmaschine und hat u.a. auch eine ordentliche #API. Ob es nun eine zusätzliche Alternative zu #Google & Co. ist muss ich erst noch herausfinden.
🧵 …hier noch eine Liste von aktiven und öffentlich nutzbaren #SearXNG Instanzen über #HTTPS und/oder #Tor. Die Liste zeigt nicht nur den #online Zustand der #Suchmaschinen an, sondern auch deren Geschwindigkeit und Nuzzeit.
🧵 …danke @narek für das Entwickeln vom Gugle #App für Android, das ua #SearX / #SearXNG* Suchmaschinen unterstützt und über @fdroidorg auf dem #Android installierbar ist. Das #Gugle App soll später auch noch die #Stract* Suchmaschine unterstützen.
