Just one, the only relatively tech-savvy person I know irl

Or SearXNG. I run an instance, you can check it out: search.gregtech.eu

uptime -p

for a human-readable format. Here’s mine on my Hetzner VPS:

root@snapshot-199288474-ubuntu-16gb-hel1-1:~# uptime -p
up 8 weeks, 6 days, 8 minutes

I’d love to help, I’m somewhat good at web development and I’d love to try myself out. You can contact me at @gregor:gregtech.eu on Matrix or on anything else listed here

Alright, that’s fair. How would you monetize it? I’d love to pay, but I’d rather not see ads lol

Hm, why not? If you aren’t going to monetize it might as well give the code to the community.

This is actually pretty scary, viewer discretion is advised.

Not going to make us cry either!

I’m just curious here, what if a large instance (like lemmy.world for example) says that anyone federating with instance X gets defederated? They would miss out on a lot of interactions.

If you’d like you can contact me on my Threema ID at 6CH24JJE so we can troubleshoot this in my group on Threema.

Your experience with threema is… weird? For me both of those things work perfectly. Much better than Element, for example.

What’s issue do you see with it? It’s cryptographically secure and has been audited. The fact that it’s centralized doesn’t really matter.

Threema is also really good, and they’re very close to the full release of the desktop app.

There we go, I have the favicons set up. Sorry for the intermittent downtime, I was doing some configuration.

You gotta mount the image to the place where searxng accesses it, like this in docker compose:

volumes:
      - ./searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
      - type: bind
        source: ./images/searxng.png
        target: /usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/searxng.png

I can set up a favicon resolver on my instance. I’ll do it today.

I mean, none of that content is on my server, and the search engines searxng indexes probably so their best to remove illegal stuff.

I really hope I don’t get in trouble for anything, but I doubt I will. I have a grand Total of like 5 users.

I guess I could technically do that, but I really don’t give a f what people search for on my searxng instance. Plus, Google and the likes have an incentive to use your searches for advertising and building a profile on you.

Double penetration? /s

I host my own SearXNG instance, which miiiight be a bit of a bad idea because the anonymity of the crowd disappears but hosting your own services is way too cool to ignore. It’s at search.gregtech.eu in case anyone wants to use it.
