A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Self-hosted Searxng. It's shared to multiple people which kills a lot of the usefulness in Google or others trying to track my instance.
I tried this, but it kept saying 'Engine failed' or something on every other search. I never could figure out why. I might try again
Edit: Actually it was Searx I used. I'll spin up Searxng and see if it's improved
I had some issues with searx.... Things are a bit better in my experience with searxng. Sometimes I still run into the error messages. But usually it's my fault more than anything (server bogged down, too many requests/searches across all my users, or internet blips)... I just rerun the search a few seconds later and it's usually good again.
