recently saw this article here, i’m not sure if ecosia is a good solution now. their results seem mostly identical to ddg/bing too though it’s occasionally better than them for some reason

qwant is good, but they geoblock certain countries including mine since 2023 or so. having to use proxy/vpn for just searching really sucks

not a proxy, it directly uses google cse on client side so it’s no better than directly using google

yeah, i search with ‘before 2023’ to filter AI slop often

google (and few other engines) keep giving me errors, and search results mostly empty due to timeouts (or even with no error, there’s just only few results that are completely unrelated to the query)

ddg gets results from bing, startpage is the one that gets results from google

looks neat, will look into it. tysm!

kinda works, but their results are a bit crippled compared to google (also, no way to search specific timeframe)

is this on a residential IP?

bruh i literally mentioned in the post that SearXNG isn’t working properly

ddg is my primary right now, it absolutely sucks for korean queries sadly

i don’t have any complex ‘webapp’ hosted on www. just static files and few simple cgi scripts. i keep my httpd and sshd up to date. that seems to be good enough

a full DE isn’t necessary, i only use a WM (FVWM).

i don’t say this often, but you could’ve literally searched on wikipedia..

finallyyyy

i always use curl icanhazip.com for checking my external IP… iirc some “IoT” devices also use it for some reason

true, but this is a real “universal” remote so…

the xiaomi ir remote has presets for basically anything i ever needed a remote for. i have it on my primary phone so it has saved me on a few occasions.

idk how it works on grapheneos. but on normal android i could use work profile for this. and singbox inside the work profile to open a local socks5 proxy, then connecting to it from outside the work profile.

random LG or Xiaomi android phone. they have ir blaster built in.

at least on my LG G2 it works even after installing a custom rom (lineageos)

webrecorder browsertrix should work for this. they even have a hosted/paid service which could be better than selfhosting depending on the circumstance.

saving as html with singlefile and sharing manually could be easier/simpler, the concept is easy to understand for non computer people imo.

other than that i recently found out hoardy-web, doesn’t really fit your usecase as this is basically saving everything you see on your browser for personal archiving though. very well made but somehow it isn’t as widely known as other stuff in this area…

yep it’s mostly pwned residential devices. some devices even contain residential proxy backdoor from factory.

i personally hate it, but afaik the reasons are

1) posting on platform with length limit (twitter?) 2) preventing searching 3) plain laziness

the idea sounds interesting and its also similar to what ive considered making some time ago. but why tf did you mess it up with this ai slop wall of text? heck, i’d even understand if you used LLMs in the code due to lack of skills, i’m also not a good programmer and i’m sympathetic. but there’s really no reason for having this entire post written by an LLM.

the pre-iOS 7 one is my favourite, since it replaces the wallpaper with battery and makes it very obvious the phone is charging

there was a jailbreak tweak called battery doctor pro that adds some useful info on the charging lockscreen, i want it back

really? please don’t do this, nobody here wants to talk with a fucking clanker shilling some SaaS

was this post written/assisted by an llm?

i used to keep instaloader to periodically scrape a few accounts from instagram for archival and viewing, however i got frequent ‘suspicious activity’ alerts and ended up being banned (got asked for face scan or some shit)

i believe barinsta (android foss client) also triggered their bot detector quite frequently back when it was developed…

may i ask how it’s been with kittygram? it looks really nice, i’m hoping this can replace imginn for my usage

from a quick look it seems like a lua program with not many external dependencies, perhaps it could already run on termux. guess i should try

interesting, it seems like debian 12 bookworm itself will still continue getting security patches from LTS

i had to check because i still have a system on 11 bullseye (actually, Devuan 4 chimaera) and it still seemed to get patches. seems like i have two months left…
