  • According to their page it’s a pure searxng instance. I didn’t see anything on my own instance changing so there are three options I see:

    • The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).
    • client side changes: somehow your Firefox provides different information to alter the results
    • subjective change: it’s always a possibility that either what you searched or your perception was more fine tuned to Cyrillic.

    And then there’s the obligatory “none or all of the above”.

    Personally I’d guess it’s just a fluke. I gave it a few searches from Firefox mobile on “all languages” and had a mix of mainly English and a bit of German und French in there as results.

    Edit: if you’re comfortable with that feel free to share some search terms and we can compare results. Would be curious myself!








  • You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:

    Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!

    Fucking why doesn’t this compilation start I can’t find my mistake for hours?!

    Where does this module come from?! What do you mean “root kit”? Learning was fun!

    It all was fun! :)


  • As they are closed source no one can tell you their true privacy policy. It seems better than average from what I’ve read but you never know…

    Personally I use logseq and sync the files via a Nextcloud instance. I can only recommend it, although I also recommend spending an hour to learn the tagging and linking logic and reading through their guide on what’s possible. I still only leverage a minor part of the potential myself.

    One that is closer to onenote (I think, never used onenote) is Joplin.




  • Is there anything to support this? I couldn’t find anything that really has this intend documented and Intel weren’t the only on pushing for usb as the most simple protocol possible ( I recall a lot of excitement about the “u” part… How naive at least I was back then!).

    I’m not knowledgeable enough to really argue against it, looking simply from an Okham point of view as “they wanted everything to connect” - the printer in the same way as that PDA… Plus Intels de facto (IT) world domination at the time it just seems unlikely.

    Edit: some sentences didn’t make even less sense, fixed.



  • (not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

    In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.
