It’s the life cycle of tech. New innovative technology gets invented, takes the market by storm, generates millions in value, investors get their hands on it, generates tens of millions, becomes publically traded, corpos inflate its value, bills come due, technology sabotaged to squeeze out any remaining profit, tech become withered husk of its formal self in a space it occupys alone and we get to eat shit salad every time we have to use it
I’m interested in self hosted web search engines to run at home instead of using Google is SearXNG a good replacement or are there other better suggestions?
Other than self hosting a search engine what are some good web search providers? Most of my device browsers list the following default options:
Google’s algorithm has gotten worse, and it honestly wasn’t great to begin with (gave too much weight to the biggest sites not the best). Now they over generalize your query and flat out ignore half your keywords because it costs more money to serve a non cached result.
Tbh… The fact that we depend 99% of the time of a company or companies which usually if not always are for profit to be able to find stuff on Internet, sucks.
