"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Self-host SearXNG on your laptop/PC. Your only regret is that you'd wish you'd done this sooner. Both SearXNG and Docker have helpful setup pages that walk you through the process. https://docs.searxng.org/
I’ve been hosting searx(ng) for like a decade or more. Rarely does it not find what I’m looking for.
Me and my dad have been using DuckDuckGo for a while
Can you give me a top level description? Is this really a self hosted search engine?? Like how dependant is this on other indexes somewhere?
I should have been more accurate. It’s not a search engine per se. It’s a search aggregator. It doesn’t crawl the net, just uses other search engines
That's still pretty damn cool. Got dang it... another project for the pile...
Thanks :)
