  From where I'm standing, everyone on Earth should be running a yacy node. It isn't perfect or even great, but it's the only truly free search option, and it only gets better the more people use it.

  There are presently 8 times more people seeding a single torrent of the Minecraft movie than were running yacy nodes at any point in the past month. If people really care about the danger Google poses, they ought to be participating in a solution. Even with its flaws, if there were to be a sudden boom in the use of the software, that alone could end up encouraging individuals and organizations to put more resources into it.

    Never heard of it.

    How good is it, compared to duckduckgo?

    Congratulations, you have just managed to tip me over the edge to start self hosting something and that something will be YaCy.

    It will be the first self hosting experience I will try.
