There's a lot of subs like these which I don't want to name. Basically, subs with anti-corpo principles but refuses to leave corpo Reddit. I'm happy for the subs who are still dark even until now (and even more reason to be now that Reddit is deleting older DMs and removing awards/coins).
I used to have a git repo on Github for my dotfiles but I took it down when I realized that there are some config files I don't want public like my newsboat links or API keys on my ~/.bashrc. Now I just sync it encrypted to some file storage but I may put it on my private git server instead where password-store lives.
Now that I'm trying it again, it actually is similar to Google's results but it filters some of the more useful results I get from Google based on some things I'm searching up.
We have more broadly incorporated Microsoft Bing into our results, using a unique solution specifically fitted to our privacy promise. Our collaboration with Microsoft also has enabled us to provide a superior mobile experience. You will see benefits like better search suggestions, fewer ads, and greatly improved similar image results, among others.
Google: A classic and oftentimes, it gets what I want. A lot of the links are redirects which is annoying.
Kagi: It's paid but it has a lot of features like "lenses" and "quick answer". The results are pretty good. It gives me good articles and PDFs instead of a blogspot post.
You.com: The WORST UI EVER but the results are surprisingly decent. It's pretty close to Kagi. It might actually be the same thing. It also has an AI chatbot but I don't think it's as good as Bing's or OpenAI's.
B Tier -- Gives me decent results.
Startpage: It used to use Google search results but they switched to Bing. It is worse than Google.
DuckDuckGo: Results are worse than Google. One time a referral link came up in one of my searches.
Bing: There's no dark mode. The AI chat tool is pretty nice and is comparable to the OpenAI one (significantly better than Google's Bard). Search results are worse than Google.
Yandex: Search results are similar to DuckDuckGo.
Ecosia: Search results are similar to the ones above.
C Tier -- Gives me poor results.
Brave: Search results feel so inconsistent and out of place. Maybe worse than the ones above.
Mojeek: Independent search engine. Results aren't very good.
Open Source Front Ends - Results quality varies.
SearXNG: It depends on which instance you're using. Sometimes search results error out due to rate limiting but you still get results anyway. It has a lot of options and configs so it fits to your liking so you can choose which search engines you want to include.
LibreX: Actually one of my favorites since I've never encountered errors due to rate limiting but using it to search for images is terribly slow. It has a cool feature where you can add front ends like Libreddit and Wikiless. It also has a built-in torrent search engine.
Whoogle: The UI isn't very good and it performs poorly on most public instances. A smaller or private instance might be worth looking into. It uses Google search results.
F Tier -- It sucks.
Qwant: Not available in my country.
If anyone knows of any other search engine not in this list, let me know so I can try it out.
League of Legends. I don't know how many hours I've put into it but I've been playing since pre-Season 5. This season alone I've played around 600 games. It's depressing.
I've used Mastodon for a moment before and it was plagued with porn. I also wasn't a fan of microblogging so I dropped it pretty fast. I prefer forum/board style media platforms.
I do something similar with rclone. Most server software have some way of creating backups. Have that software create a backup and use rclone to move the file over to some cloud storage. Rclone also has the option to delete older stuff (rclone delete --min-age 7d). Do all that with a shell script and add it to the crontab.
I'll try it too this week.
