Uhm, cool I guess. Why should we use this? Does it have any advantage over classical displays?

Why only in the US? (I didn't read the article)

uhm that's strange, I just tried executing it on your link and it worked. have you waited at least 5 seconds after running the script?

They also are very good with olives and potatoes

Ugly bikes ftw!

hi, sorry for the late reply! I finally wrote this nodejs script:

 js

    
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

// This is where we'll put the code to get around the tests.



function findPlaylistUrl(networkUrls) {
  for (const url of networkUrls) {
    if (url.startsWith('https://vixcloud.co/playlist')) {
      return url;
    }
  }
  return ''; // Return an empty string if no matching URL is found
}

(async () => {
  // Check if URL argument is provided
  if (process.argv.length <= 2) {
    console.error('Usage: node get_network_urls.js <URL>');
    process.exit(1);
  }

  const url = process.argv[2];

  // Launch a headless browser
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: 'true' });
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  // Enable request interception
  await page.setRequestInterception(true);

  // Capture network requests
  const networkUrls = [];
  page.on('request', (request) => {
    networkUrls.push(request.url());
    request.continue();
  });

  // Navigate to the URL
  await page.goto(url);

  // Wait for a while to capture network requests (adjust as needed)
  await page.waitForTimeout(5000);

  // Print the captured network URLs
  console.log(findPlaylistUrl(networkUrls));
    
  // Close the browser
  await browser.close();
})();

  

the first argument passed to the script is the url of the webpage. The script uses the puppeteer module to "fake" a browser, in order to receive all the network calls and so on, and then will search through them for the m3u8 playlist. It is very specific and only works on this website, but it can be easily adapted for other websites as well

Can you tell us more about this?

This is true for literally every selfhosted app

Setting up a server just for this is clearly overkill, but if you already have a homeserver it would be great to be able to deploy the backend. Sadly there is no such thing currently

Could be self hosted

Got it, thanks!

Why security critical?

How is this possible? I mean, how can they connect the searches from the ip of the server with your laptop's ip?

Oh shit, new fear unlocked

And what if the server has a static IP address?

Probably stupid question: let's say I selfhost searxng only for myself: google & Co can track all my searches, but doesn't they pair all the data to the IP of my server? And because of this, they will not be able to show personalized ads to me, using my laptop. Is this wrong?

you're right, thanks for posting it yourself! I'm a newbie in the selfhosting world, so I thought that LibreY was "famous", but I was wrong!

Why? The public instances are heavily overloaded, isn't a private instance faster?

This is AWESOME! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!!
