searx.prvcy.eu dead?

    Not so sure about that, are SearXNG immeadiately identifiable as such, if not it just looks like any other search. Also does the evil eye actuaully care about edge cases like self hosted SearXNG? Still, might be nice to rotate the exit node...

    ETA I also keep google off for default searches, and use it by bang only when other things fail, a rare occurrence.

  • Every time I scroll down a page, after a little while (5-20sec) it scrolls itself up, usually to the top comment but sometimes (I think based on how far down I am) just further up. I don't usually pull out 'literally unusable', but here we are. No problems on lemmy.ml (not logged in). Firefox with normal privacy add-ons on Fedora 38. Have I got something set to evil? Wasn't happening a week or so ago.

    So I thought I'd post some of my favorite top scoring posts from that other site. It's low effort, but it's an effort, plus, it's for historical reasons...

    Perhaps not, google et.al. will likely grab it all anyway, perhaps we can be forward facing. Actually while they're privacy invading, the benefit of keeping feely given info still stands, and may, in the long term, prevail. One may hope...

    Discord, for example, means all useful information is captured by discord, never to be searched by plebs. IRC is usually ephemeral. Most web search has been diluted by SEO and content farms to the point of uselessness. Perhaps we can think about next gen search right now. A point of hope is things like gigabrain which, it would seem, use LLMs to 'cut through the noise', but also summarize and collate, seems like a useful way forward if distributed. Happy to look into it myself, but would like to hear others input. (pleasently ppl were commenting before I finished)

  • One of the most unforgivable things about reddit is how pathetic the search engine is, considering the amount of free, top notch information is captured there and you need google +reddit to get at it, what can we do to make federated alternatives self searchable ?

    Yes! to PersonOfInterest, mod up @StringPotatoTheory. I did Firefly, you can too, I'll join. If it becomes too much work I'll pass it on, but I'm guessing these will be civil...

    Welcome

    Just a first post to welcome folks, saw there was no community and decide to try out creation. Painless :) Hopefully we can get a nice little community going here.
