Thanks for that!!! I’ll give this a shot.

Yes but, have you ever rooted a Xiaomi device. it’s VERY hard. not impossible, but very hard. Requires iirc a 28 day waiting period, and you can only do one per year. (I imagine they enforce by phone number) Here’s a guide I found with a quick google search, it requires running their super sketchy windows only utility, etc… etc… https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/1bsb2ce/how_to_root_your_phone_whatever_your_xiaomi_phone/

And yes, everything you have read is true about how bad it is. Did you know by default every app is set to debuggable? it’s something the OS does, and no, you can’t turn it off from the apps perspective. The whole system is just not secure, by design.

👍🏻 Roger Roger thanks for the correction

Yep. I was using ddg but just spun up 2 sear instances for myself. (One on vpn one off)

What are your favorite searxng customizations / bangs?

Duckduckgo is bing. They route their searches there afaik. It’s just a privacy layer, like startpage is a privacy layer on Google.

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

I’m unsure. I use jerboa, maybe it’s that. But search doesn’t really search the content of posts. I.e. how I can google something, include reddit in the search terms, and find a relevant post(s)

Now. Fuck google, but I want to be able to do the equivalent with Lemmy posts.

Discord is the worst. The siloing of tons of information that should be publicly searchable and accessible via a public forum, but instead it’s siloed off into this closed wall with shitty search.

I actually wish Lemmy was better searchable as well. I think Lemmy could be way better and drive adoption if it had a cross instance search engine / indexer.

They put pcp alongside shrooms and LSD. That’s insane.

I plan to recoup the cost in cancelled subscriptions.

Yep. Just ordered 4 12tb hdds for a zfs setup
