Scott Thompson as Elizabeth II

Genius. When paired with his wife Gena Rowlands, responsible for some of the greatest films of the era. Check out Love Streams, A Woman Under The Influence, and Opening Night, among others.

I've been saying for a long time that as a Canadian, you can predict the future. Just look across the border, and what you see down there will be arriving here in 10-15 years.

I do all my shoplifting and self-checkout fraud there. SUPER affordable.

I'm in a similar boat, switched from Android TV clients to a couple little beelink N100 boxes (which are great). I use Kodi as my Jellyfin client which works great especially with a remote/from the couch, and a cursory search would imply that Kodi has plugins for Prime Video and Disney Plus, but I don't use those, so I have no first-hand experience.

The big one that annoys me right now is the lack of a TV interface for Spotify outside of the walled gardens of Android, Apple, and Roku. The desktop app does not play well with anything but mouse and keyboard.

Another thing to note is that Jellyfin Media Player plays really nicely on a TV/Remote control setup.

That's cool, but I'd still prefer not to be wrangling a dozen or so engines with bangs and editing config files when I could do it all through the UI in a more intuitive way. While I don't mind initial setup, I have very little appetite for endless tweaking of config files. So while I'll keep an eye on SearXNG and occasionally pull it onto my server, Kagi can continue being my daily driver for now.

Oh, I think this is different to what I'm talking about. Seems like the weight in SearXNG impacts search engines used, where what I'm talking about is in regards to the actual results. So I could prioritize or deprioritize websites which tend to produce good or bad results, block domains, pin favourites, etc. The example I used elsewhere is like having letterboxd results rank higher than IMDB when I search for movies

Websites I've never heard of come up very frequently. The feature I find highly useful involves a) hiding shitty disinformation websites as I encounter them, or blocking sites like pintrest, and b) elevating results from websites I like, like having letterboxd results rank higher than IMDB when I search for movies or whatEVER.

Being able to customize my own results to favour what I'm actually looking for is such a crutch.

How do you duplicate this feature in SearXNG? https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/website-info-personalized-results.html

It's basically the major thing keeping me with Kagi.

SearXNG

I'd consider it if they had some of the features Kagi has like raising/lowering/pinning/excluding certain websites from results, but every time I try it it still feels very light on features.

I for one am shocked that Vancouver's right-wing council didn't vote to allow filthy poors into a neighborhood of mansions.

Hey man, I'm being asked to act as a cashier with no pay and with no training. If I accidentally punch in the code for peanuts when I'm buying macadamia nuts, or accidentally forget to scan my items, I don't see how that's my fault.

With today's news of Letterboxd being acquired by an investment company, I got to wondering if I should start weaning my movie obsession off of there and onto something more open before the inevitable enshittification begins. I did a cursory search and found nothing promising, but figured the braintrust here might know something I don't!
