Umm, that is quite literally hallucinations what you are describing? Am I missing something here?
- Comment on Mistral urges telcos to get into the hyperscaler game 5 days ago:
All models hallucinate, it’s just how language models work.
Do you have sources for this claim that Mistral’s models are trying to deceive anyone?
- Comment on Home - YaCy - P2P search engine 2 weeks ago:
In general, to everyone who finds Yacy as an interesting project, just give it a try!
It’s relatively light weight, and having millions of pages indexed does not take that much disk space, in my case: 3.5 million indexed pages is around 200 gigabytes only.
Yacy is far from perfect, and it’s an ancient project. But it’s still alive and kicking strong!
- Comment on Home - YaCy - P2P search engine 2 weeks ago:
Hi!
I’ve been selfhosting Yacy for some years, even tho I rarely use it (I’m mostly using Kagi these days).
But some tips:
- Set up something like this to your browser, this sends Yacy to crawl pages that you visit github.com/JeremyRand/YaCyIndexerGreasemonkey .
- Get familiar with blacklists and try to find some public ones to filter out bad sites and adult content.
- Tinker with Ranking & heuristics -> Solr boosts to get results that fit your use case more.
- And in general, tinker with all the settings you can find!
And not directly Yacy related, but you can use your own Yacy through Searxng as well, even in ‘private’(non P2P) mode.
- Comment on Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 3 weeks ago:
Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.
This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.
Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 5 months ago:
I’m not advocating for breaking any rules, but many people know that you can hide your wifi routers SSID. even fewer people know how to track these networks.
- Comment on Farfalle vs Perplexica 6 months ago:
I’ve been toying with Perplexica over the last few weeks occasionally, it feels really restrictive.
I’ve had to modify the internal prompts to make it generate better search terms with my SearxNG (And depending on what LLM model you use, you need to fine tune this…) and having to rebuild the container image to do this has just been annoying. Overall, I’ve had experience with self-hosted LLM web searches on Open-webui, but perplexica is a fun project to try out nevertheless.
- Comment on Any “small-web” search engines? 6 months ago:
This is a bit off-topic, but did you try to increase the JVM limits inside Yacy’s administration panel?
Spoilering to hide wall of text related to this topic.
This setting located in
/Performance_p.html-page for example gives the java runtime more memory. Same page also has other settings related to ram, such as setting how much memory Yacy must leave unused for the system. (These settings exist so people who run Yacy on their personal machines can have guaranteed resources for more important stuff) Image Other things that would reduce memory usage is to limit the concurrency of the crawler for example. There’s quite a lot of tunable settings that can affect memory usage. Would recommend trying to hit up one of the Yacy forums is also good place to ask questions. The Matrix channel (and IRC) are a bit dead, but there are couple of people including myself there! Also, theres new docs written by the community, they might help as well! yacy.net/docs/ yacy.net/operation/performance/ - Comment on Any “small-web” search engines? 6 months ago:
Teclis - Includes search results from Marginalia, free to use at the moment. This search index has been in the past closed down due to abuse.
Kagi, whose creation Teclis is, is a paid search engine (metasearch engine to be more precise) also incorporates these search results in their normal searches. I warmly recommend giving Kagi a try, it’s great, I’ve been enjoying it a lot.

Other options I can recommend; You could always try to host your own search engine if you have list of small-web sites in mind or don’t mind spending some effort collecting such list. I personally host Yacy [github link] (and Searxng to interface with yacy and several other self-hosted indexes/search engines such as kiwix wiki’s.). Indexing and crawling your own search results surprisingly is not resource heavy at all, and can be run on your personal machine in the background.

Hey! I noticed this anime was being made in recent Paolo from Tokyo’s video of daily life of anime director!
- Comment on Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal 7 months ago:
Kagi is a metasearch-engine (apart from their homebrew small-web index, known as Teclis), so the reddit lenses will continue to function long as one of the search engines it’s querying is paying reddit.
