  Same, anything peddling crypto and implying the user may earn it through no actual work being done, is suspicious.

  Searx-NG works well enough for me in 90% of cases, may not be perfect yet but if it keeps getting developed it will get better. I love those random redirectors that send you to a random instance, no centralised site you depend on then.

    I think the work here is sharing your search history lol

  Are you thinking of Stract? stract.com

  I don’t self host, I use it as an option in Searx.

    Yep! Wish I’d have seen your reply before digging though old posts to find that lol.

    Is that remotely feasible on a homelab? What kind of bandwidth/storage would you need to run this thing and keep it up to date?

      Oh, I am sorry, I have no idea. As I said I only use it through Searx

  Yeah, that crypto part must be new(ish). I remember it definitely wasn’t there about half year ago when I first find out presearch. I believe it had no account to create either.

  Well, I’ll give SearXNG another chance I assume.

    Unrelated, but I’ve never seen someone use the word “assume” that way before. It technically works, I think?

      As a native speaker, I read it as:

      I haven’t given it much thought, but there’s a good chance I’ll give it a shot.

      It’s a bit awkward, but I skipped over it and grasped what I assume was the intended meaning, so it’s fine. Better words would be “suppose” or “guess” in this context.

      I don’t know, the best I can do is hope. I’m not a native speaker and my english lessons are long gone, so I put words here and there as they came to my mind hoping the other side will understand… Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

        Hey cool! I’m native and I still don’t always know if the way I’m talking is correct, but nobody really cares. If they do and take issue with it, they usually aren’t worth arguing.

    Lol it was there, I used to use it during the pandemic and the earning for each search thing was def there in 2020.

    They might not make it as obvious anymore though

      My bad, did not notice it before. It could not be this visible, though, right?

  YaCy?

  There’s also another SearX-like one called websurfx - albeit still in its early days.

  • ptz@dubvee.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I’ve heard of that one recently, but the one I was thinking of was Stract. Had to search through a few communities to find it because I’m a genius who didn’t bookmark it lol.
