Because of the current issue with Bing that affects DuckDuckGo and Qwant, I did a "research" (5 min look into https://alternativeto.net/software/google-search/?license=opensource ) and found Searx and Searxng. I'm giving a try to Searxng, so far so good finding issues with Ubuntu 24.04 and Wayland. But I keep thinking that there should be a federated way to search the Internet

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

Looking at the preferences of Searxng you can see the other search engines and sites it tracks to find your query (from Bing to Google or Yahoo). I keep thinking... federated OpenSearch? like https://opensearch.org/ an ElasticSearch fork

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@researchbuzz the main issue I see right now is the storage needed for this. Storage is not super cheap, specially fast storage because people want instant results (maybe those loading big search result pages loaded with ads wouldn't notice). This is probably the reason all of those "search engines" failing today and even Searxng don't have their own datasets and instead rely on Microsoft (Bing) and Alphabet (Google), so if companies with prospects of making money are not doing it might be hard

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@researchbuzz But the federated option might be the key, smaller datasets? based on common places and then after the first result page ask other federated sites?

@researchbuzz uBlock Origin is spoiling me :D

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@researchbuzz Maybe @mozilla could use the user history to keep such a dataset locally and then access other public instances for 2nd page results... but maybe Mozilla relies a lot on start page money from search engines

A very slick upgrade to 28.0.5 this morning. No problems, as smooth as it could be. Thank you @nextcloud team for all of your great work!

adelgado,
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@flypig @nextcloud Same smoothness to 29.0.0 but it always depend on the apps you have installed (maybe one day the News app will be fixed and work better in the current version of Nextcloud)

I have a home server with various services running (all isolated with different user accounts). The server has a small SSD and a big external HDD, but I'd like to make external backups to my cloud account. The cloud service has a proprietary command line application to sync data, so backups would ideally be date separated compressed tar files that it can then sync. An additional complication are PostgreSQL and SQLite databases that can't just be copied without risking breaking the integrity of the files.

How would you do the backups? Do you have some existing app that you could suggest? I'm sure I can whip up some script to do it, but I wouldn't mind if there was something already made.

@nicd
Restic is a command line tool that supports a lot of storage solutions S3, SFTP, DAV, etc. There are some beta UI but I run it in scheduled jobs using a systemd timer. It can encrypt the data. For the database: postgresql have a backup tool to dump the databases to a file that then you can backup with the rest (I keep 7 local copies)

Who knows a good alternative to meetup.com?

Is there any platform that is at least more fun, even if it costs money?
I am only organizing non-profit and community events over it and I don't feel like paying 100+ US$ for a platform that is that bad.

Hoy es 19 de mayo y también es el Día Mundial de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal. También se cumplen dos meses desde que me diagnosticaron enfermedad de Crohn y bueno, aquí estamos.

Una de las razones por las que no estoy posteando en internet últimamente es esta. La enfermedad va a dias, hay dias más jodidos y dias en los que estoy relativamente bien.

Pero bueno, iremos haciendo. Poco a poco.

@Shine_McShine ¡fuerza! ya hace unos 15 años que lo deje y fue duro pasar de 2-3 cajetillas a cero de golpe, pero lo que me ayudo fue pensar en "con lo que he aguantado hasta ahora, ¿lo voy a echar a perder ahora? NO". Pronto empezaras a dejar de sentirte tan mal y a sentir como mejoran muchas cosas. A mi el duodeno no me mejoró mucho, pero al menos no empeoro

@Dnmrules Monta root en otra carpeta (yo suelo usar /media/root) y mira a ver si en la carpeta donde montas el NAS tienes archivos viejos. A veces me ha pasado que tengo un script que copia contenido a una carpeta montada, la carpeta no se monta por lo que sea, se llena el / y luego no lo encuentro porque he montado la carpeta encima

adelgado, (edited )
@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@Dnmrules Y para localizar la carpeta que más usa yo uso "du -hs * | sort -h" pero luego hazlo también con "du -hs .??* | sort -h" para las carpetas ocultas que empiezan con un punto (como .cache)

I guess I only have myself to blame for using Ubuntu, but upgrading to the latest version (24.04) switched Thunderbird from a proper Debian package to some Snap monstrosity, losing my account setup in the process. 😠

@shane_kerr you can add the Mozilla Team official PPA to use packages (and newer versions), just in case you didn't find it yet

I'm having a hell of a day with Firefox today (and part of yesterday). Since 126.0 was released many websites make Firefox crash (for example opening images here in Mastodon but also a Grafana dashboard and others). All in Gnome with Wayland and Ubuntu 24.04. Are other people having the same issues?

@plaimbock not much info in the terminal, basically just generate a dump

@adelgado@eu.mastodon.green avatar

@plaimbock I think I messed something up while installing other desktop managers and adjusting Wayland because all versions of Firefox crashed. So I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 (before I did an upgrade from 23.10 that was upgraded from 22 that is not a great idea). So now it's fix
