    1. SO and Reddit are on the TODO list. It even had SO (in the bottom indeed) once but not via crawling, via SO Search API. It has very poor quality results and was super slow so I had to remove it while thinking of a better solution. Crawling entire SO might be little too much of this project at this state tho but if I have enough courage and hours at night I might parse that 20GB stack overflow archive dump and try doing something useful with it.

    Same for Reddit but here I have mixed feelings about it in general and hope it's going to die soon being replaced by amazing Lemmy communities.

    I also used to type some question and end with "reddit" in Google to get good quality content, but here with kukei the experiment is whether blogosphere can replace it properly when index is promoting it.

    1. Why blogs?

    This is my main thing. To promote good quality blogs that I tried to follow via RSS but somehow never did. Having them all indexed (and more, some Mastodon community gave me amazing links to index) makes me actually visit them often.

    For the "SEO cancer" that where curation comes into play. Before crawling I check unknown blogs to me and decide whether something goes in or not.

  • The crawler takes only the sources that are defined in the crawler repo (it’s open source, check the github org or kukei-spider).

    So in this way it’s “curated” in a sense that it would not add anything else to the index.

  • It should be safe. It only shares the secrets with legit domains. That’s one of the powers of this tech: it won’t share your secrets with something that looks like a legit domain.

  • I use it on iPad but also on MacBook Pro when I go single screen (studio display). In the last case it’s all about grouping apps like browser with mattermost, IDE with terminal. I wish macOS would have exactly the same window positioning as on iPad when using stage manager.

  • Even allowed now I would never ever modify my car firmware due to huge liability in case of any incident. Literally any insurance company figuring out you tempered with car software would try to take all the money paid for damages back from you.

  • I only choose hosting that provides automated backups of VPS. And it has to be credible like Hetzner who keeps those backups in a different location.

    Additionally if I have something really important I do periodical backups to my local mac that has all sort of backup processes (iCloud, Time Machine plus an extra encrypted backup that I keep on well… hetzner)
