Haha, your last line in your post. I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses the screwdriver vs drill line.. 😊

I love that Claude.md file, fucking awesome.

AI is great, I use it to get started quickly, and then I delete a bunch of it and replace it with human approved and purposeful code.

The other day I used it to write a slugify method. I didn’t think I needed a full library imported for that, and with AI that was a 30 second task, including tests. Great.

Then later that day the AI wrote an API for me. The AI design hid potentially async code in a synchronous block and it butchered the control flow, so I rewrote it to give the caller control over how the code was executed. The result is exactly what I needed, and easy to use plus maintain. Also great.

The difference between that and slop where I never even review the file is massive! I like your power tool analogy. Yeah, I could use the spokeshave… or I could just use a router. But if you’re building a jig to turn your table saw into a jointer you might wanna take a step back and ask what you’re really doing here.

your stance on AI is canonically right and I appreciate this very much

Whoa, I went from "Hmm. We already have meta search engine aggregator at home. Do we really need a new one?" to "Whoa, that is pretty! Ughh.. but is that AI that im seeing?! loads Wowee that is just a snippet from Wikipedia and various other places!!! It also shows me where the results are coming from. This is really cool! The user interface is copied over but there is no harm in that, its super clean" in like 0.0001 seconds!

I like it alot and will be trying it out. I like that it is more transparent where results are coming from compared to DDG.

Just no a fan of the name, but its just the project it looks like its white label enough to make your own "CI". And I would definitely not have come up with a better one.

Also like your take on AI, I have a similar stance, very sensible.

Official Podman Quadlet files? Me likey!

If you have issues with this please go tell a carpenter to use a manual screwdriver and not a power drill and see if they say yes or throw it at you, thank you <3

I wonder what the carpenter would say if he had to pay 200€ subscription for his power drill, and and the Power Drill factory would take images of everything he creates and start giving his plans and blueprints to large factories to mass produce his things for cheap.

And what if he found out that his electricity bill was 50% more than a couple years ago because of the all the Power drill Factories, and they would like to start burning more coal and gas to power them, undoing years of progress in environmental protections.

I've installed this on my home server and I must say, I am quite impressed!

It just feels so much snappier than SearXNG, I think the loading "animation" helps with that a lot. I also love the whole plugin system, there is already a lot available, maybe in the future, if I have a good idea, I will make one myself.
I was a bit skeptical about the AI thing at first, but at least you are transparent about it and your stance seems to be reasonable.

If you want some suggestions on what to work on in the future, it would be cool, if there was a search suggestion api URL, I could add to Firefox to have search suggestions in my address bar. Also maybe bangs to only search with a certain engine, like in SearXNG.

Thank you for all the work you already put into this, looking forward to future updates!

Still love it

Thanks for this! I included degoog in my arr stack and it works great! I was surprised by the language support when I pointed my gluetun container to an an Italian exit node. But it's very well documented and the language environment variable was easy to set. Nice!

Getting this working within minutes of reading this post felt like opening an unexpected present. I love it.

How would thos compare to SearXNG? (Sorry if repeat, popular post ;) )
