Look at https://kagi.com/faq .
They basically query other search engines and APIs in a privatized manner and they use their own indexes as well. I used Google, Ecosia, StartPage, DDG, a self-hosted SearXNG instance and then Brave. I liked DDG and I kinda liked Brave Search, as well. But in comparison to Kagi, they’re all not that good in my opinion.
The image search of Kagi is especially what blows me away. It just shows relevant results for my queries and I’m satisfied.
I used it before and unfortunately, it sucks in comparison to Kagi.
That’s why I use Kagi. It’s a paid search engine and the results are actually really good.
Seems to be a problem with sh.itjust.works, I think.
Jokes aside, this is very concerning. And sad. Humanity will never be able to pull on one string.
Yes, I’m using Vaultwarden as lightweight alternative to the Bitwarden server.
I’m saying I don’t trust 1Password. The OP asked for 1Password vs. Bitwarden. To me, Vaultwarden = Bitwarden and 1Password = Closed source crap.
I’m also part of the Vaultwarden crowd. I’ll never trust something that isn’t open source.
lol. *uses operating system with built-in firewall* *installs crapware 3rd party firewall*
I like both. But many people don’t even realize that nano has quite a lot of configuration options. To me, they’re text editors, not code editors. For code, I use VSCode (or “code”, the FOSS variant).
*opens up customized nano*
Yes, I had my mom start with Linux and she’s confused when she has to use Windows.
That’s a pretty bad point you made there. Imagine having to google for each app on your smartphone and tell me how that’s better.
What about the scammy search results that point to malware infected sites?
What about stability and security updates for the software you obtained that way? Every software will have it’s own update mechanism, if there’s one at all.
How is it not better to install or update all software on the computer with a single click or command?
Wow, whoever wrote this doesn’t have a clue about systemd, Firefox, Librewolf or whatever. I stopped reading after a while. Couldn’t stand it.
Lemmings, KBiners, Fedi… Folk? I don’t know.
The Grudge. The Japanese original and the US ones.
Thank you, I saw that yesterday when looking through GitHub and added it to my list of things I wanted to try out. Thanks for your effort! ❤️
There are several scripts working like that. I use lcs (lemmy community seeder). I’m going to switch to something else or make my own, because lcs doesn’t handle it well if an instance is overloaded or not available.
My instance uses a seeder script that’ll do exactly that, but automated. It’ll check the most popular communities on the most popular servers and use an account to subscribe to them.
Boom, /all feed populated.
I also know how to use keywords, etc. And maybe I went a bit overboard when I said Brave Search sucks. It doesn’t suck, but with Kagi, I don’t feel like a product any more and the search results make sense again, like with Google a couple years ago. Most free search engines just don’t work that good any more.
If you would’ve told me 2 years ago that I’ll be paying for a search engine in the future… Well, I would’ve thought that you’re crazy. But here I am now.
