I just want to leave a better planet after me. I was never a usual of Twitter. I've been working since the end of the 90s with computer #tech, and I'm currently working as System Specialist in #CSC.fi in a team that manage #SuperComputers running #Linux for research and education using #Ansible, #Puppet, #Python and #OpenStack. Interested also in #environment #education #sociology #psychology #humanism #Almería #Tampere #Stockholm #Madrid #Barcelona

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

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

@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

@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

@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

@LEA86 "Illicit material" in Internet is complex because there are many different countries and laws. I would like to have a technological tool that I can control, and then I should follow the laws that affect me
