They now have unlimited searches for $10/mo. That’s what got me to try it out.

You are correct though. I really do not like having all of my search history tied to my credit card (and then me). What helps me justify that is that instead of me being the product like google, by paying I’ve become the customer. Hopefully that incentivizes keeping them on the up and up.

I did come across searnxg in this thread. It looks like that can be self hosted so I’m gonna give that a try as well.

Come on over to Kagi! You do have to pay but I use a search engine dozens of times per day so I’m not too bothered by it.

There’s nothing really bad with PiHole but I moved from it to AdGuard, both on proxmox. The UI brought me in, makes management a bit easier. It also supports DoH right out of the box.

Try em both. See what you think.

I don’t know for hosting but if you want to get something running quickly Hugo has theme support:

Otherwise you could whip up a few html pages and use tailwindcss to help make things look a little nicer.

Or just do everything manually :)

Can you use json_attributes instead of the state for the value?

Give this a read for some ideas:

Someone replied to me that you can run a bridge and never even know. I’m definitely trying it out now. Sick of all the nitro ads.

That’s great to hear. Somehow everyone and everything is on discord now and I really am not a fan of it what with all the pop ups and flashing shiny things to buy lol.

I’ll try to get my smaller groups on matrix

As far as self hosted I’ve heard a lot about matrix but haven’t tried it. Maybe I’ll give it a shot this weekend.

There’s also telegram, slack, etc if you want something else commercial.

It’s a shot of espresso which is only about 2oz (60ml). A normal serving would be one or two shots.

I’m guessing people are ordering a latte or cappuccino or something similar which is milk and coffee. The extra shot will make the drink have a stronger coffee taste.

Edit: here’s more than you ever asked to know about espresso drinks lol:

I just spent a week evaluating all the popular choices to document an overlay network I’m standing up. All I want is a simple markdown interface to write notes in. My goal was something with a very simple UI, markdown, and very light weight.

MediaWiki, Bookstack, and WikiJS (or JSWiki) were good but they were too much for what I needed. I ended up with stumbling on gollum and really like it. It’s very very simple, fast, and clean. I wrote a one line cronjob and now I’m backed up to gitlab.

Ah - check out AdGuard then - it supports DoH right out of the box. That should help hide DNS from your ISP.

Oh yea - there’s nothing wrong with PiHole - it works fine. I ran it for years. I just feel AdGuard is the better choice these days.

I haven’t tried nextdns but I moved from PiHole to AdGuard Home. It can still be locally hosted and the UI is waaaay better and it offers more configuration, including per client settings. I really don’t know why PiHole is still recommended.

There’s already a command for it:

In the interest of pedantry; TSLA doesn’t declare dividends.

This isn’t a railroad car. Deadheading on aircraft mean the company is getting you from one place to another. You’re on the clock, on duty, and generally must be provided a seat in the back.

Jumpseating (usually for commuting) is when you travel on your own time, own dime, typically done before or after a trip. You may be provided a seat in the back, but if there are none you may be granted access to sit in the cockpit jumpseat. You are on duty when jumpseating and considered part of the crew.

Deadheading means you’re in the back of the plane. He was jumpseating, most likely commuting.

Yea. Planes can glide. Airline checkrides don’t typically include gliding.

Auditing is nothing more than reading the code. Give it a read and make sure you understand everything it’s doing.

This is a great lesson on trust as well. I can tell you I did an audit and it all looks good but does that really have any value?

The few times I wasn’t sure I did the same search in google and got similar results so I’m 100% happy.

They even have some nice features like location aware searching, instant answer results (eg a box to convert currency), etc.

Additionally you can weight or even blacklist domains so you can completely remove results from Instagram.
