Selfhosted

I'm gonna start a company that creates cheap life saving products called "Chris"

Its a CRM, i agree with the gripes about the name but tbf I'm kinda surprised to see it on here? The GitHub repo seems pretty dead

LOL. Back in the day I saw a band open for somebody and the band name was 'Bob.' Even in the early aughts searching for 'Bob' was a pointless activity. They eventually changed the name to Super Bob which is just as stupid but at least searchable.

I could never get it working right due to captchas on sites, its a beat idea though

I'm a little confused. It's this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.

Oh wow.. My 10 year old python script may be replaced now.

Edit: And I already had it starred, because it works just like my 10 year old python script.

You’re still querying search engines with your IP

IP in itself might not be as much of a problem, unless you have a static IP, which most consumers don't. And even if you do, you are also hiding a lot of baggage relating to user agents or other fingerprintable settings. IP alone is rarely used as a sole point to link your traffic to other datapoints. On top of that, you can still just decide to exclude google, bing etc from your search results and rely more "open" ones like DDG or ecosia.

Another huge upside of searxng is the aggregation of results. The search results of google are all up to, well, google. Same with bing, which is controlled by microsoft. If these companies now decide to "surpress" certain information, people using only those engines directly would no longer see those news. However, if you get your results from multiple search engines, you are not - or lets say less - affected by that kind of nonsense.

As always with news and information, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. And that's where searxng helps out tremendously.

same, i pipe it through gluetun with my Linux isos. works great. maybe second only to jellyfin in most used

Not even running your own? Once you get past the Docker config you can have your own endpoint. Mine has never had any issues. As far as I understand it looks just like you yourself using the various sourced services, which it is.

Syncthing isn't quite the same

I'd be more likely to use a SMB share

I have a working radicale lxc currently powered off because the integration is almost 100% app dependant on a Googlefied device. I can apparent just add a caldav easy as that in graphene but my wife's aosp device ala Google fi needs an app and they ask y seem to suck.
