If you're looking to kick Google or DDG or whatever I'd recommend giving SearXNG a look. It's a meta search engine. https://docs.searxng.org/ You can self host it, it's pretty easy, or you can just use any one of a wealth of public instances. https://searx.space/
I'm fairly certain Kagi is borrowing from SearxNG and making some slight modifications. The only thing Kagi holds over SearxNG that I see is the maps feature.
Ok moved #SearXNG back on the VPS. For some reason it was ridiculously slow if I host it on the home server via the wireguard tunnel... Curious why that is the case
Or maybe everything is slower, but it's just more noticeable for SearXNG?
So with my new found knowledge of #kagi upsetting me and causing me to leave it... The fact the only other engines that are not just proxying google or bing... Is #brave or #mojeek and while brave one is nice... I just cannot bring myself to use something that funds a biggot... Then mojeek just feels dated and not great...
I am tempted at bringing fuzzysearx back... and even look at trying to leverage the built in ability to add custom engines to look at leveraging other abilities... because searxng really seems like the only ethical way I can see to leverage search engines collecting data...
One more thing on the todo list: writing a blog post about #searxng. I've been using it on a personal instance for the last weeks and I'm pretty happy about the experience. It's my main search engine now, and I very rarely need to open another one.
Da ich schon lange #SearXNG als alternative #Suchmaschine nutze, habe ich von den technischen Problemen bei #Bing tatsächlich erst durch verschiedenen Beiträgen hier in der #Fediverse erfahren. Ich nutze zwar mit SearXNG auch Bing, frage allerdings noch ein paar andere Suchmaschinen ab. Aus diesem Grund ist mir das Problem gestern komplett egal gewesen.
Und von dem wesentlich bessern #Datenschutz solcher alternativen #Metasuchmaschinen will ich erst gar nicht anfangen. Zum Wochenende: Ausgesucht
☝️ Yes, the #Internet was not broken yesterday, only #Bing from #Microsoft and therefore these so-called alternatives, which apparently resist #Google. You should expand your naive belief and behaviour via #SearXNG, @Mojeek and/or #Stract search. You can find it by #search'ing for the corresponding hashtags in #Fediverse.
A seguito degli odierni problemi con i motori di ricerca, faccio presente che, CHIUNQUE può installare gratuitamente, un'alternativa decentraizzata come #SearXNG
sul proprio HOMESERVER.🙏
🧵 …die alternative Suchmaschinen, zu den oben erwähnten jetzige Panne bei Bing und deren abhängigen Internet Suchmaschinen, hatte ich schon länger mal getootet. Die zwei, die für mich (momentan) Alternativen sind, habe ich hier mal hingewiesen und verlinkt 🔎
🧵 …mal sehen wie den eben erwähnten Bing Problem eine positieve Auswirkung auf Europa hat. Ich hoffe die @openwebsearcheu von der @osf wird nicht neu erfunden und wird eine dezentrale Weiterentwicklung von den zwei oben erwähnten independent Open-Source Web-Suchmaschinen wie SearXNG und Stract.
Pour celles et ceux qui utilisent #Bing (???), #Duckduckgo, #Qwant (oui, y'a que toi), #Ecosia etc etc.
Bing étant kapout, ces moteurs de recherche le sont aussi
Mais heureusement, @zaclys gère une instance #searxng qui, elle, reste fonctionnelle !
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?
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.
🧵 …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.
🧵 …von den oben in der Toot-Reihe erwähnten Suchmaschinen, nutze ich momentan #SearXNG und #Stract neben @Mojeek noch #Openverse für freie #Copyleft & Co. #Bild'er, #Grafik'en und #Foto's ua bei der Webseit-Gestaltung und der gleichen.
