schestowitz[10:58] <joedoe_> Hi guys! I just found the article http://techrights.org/2021/03/15/duckduckgo-in-2021/ Jan 24 11:31

schestowitz[10:58] <joedoe_> Very informational!Jan 24 11:31
schestowitz[10:58] <joedoe_> There Mr schestowitz mentioned the ss search engine. Alas I was not able to find additional information on that. Am I right with assuming it is a onion searx meta search machine?Jan 24 11:31
schestowitz[10:58] <joedoe_> Is it open source? Any "about" information on that?Jan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:02] <schestowitz> hiJan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:02] <schestowitz> yes, searx would be betterJan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:02] <schestowitz> not best resultsJan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:02] <schestowitz> but they're not a monolithJan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:03] <joedoe_> Ok, I thought the ss machine is just a frontend to searx?Jan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:03] <schestowitz> I'm not familiar with itJan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:06] <joedoe_> Ok, because you wrote it would be better if the tor project would set ss  as standard search machine and not ddg in the 7. point. Maybe that should be changed. Jan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:08] <joedoe_> On my short research I found https://searx.space/ and maybe it would make sense to have another frontend, that cycles through the open searx machines.Jan 24 11:31
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-searx.space | SearXNG and searx instancesJan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:08] <joedoe_> Thanks a lot for the great article. It provided several new insights to me!Jan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:16] <schestowitz> greatJan 24 11:31
schestowitz[11:17] <schestowitz> there are sites that give an index of searx instancesJan 24 11:32
schestowitz[11:17] <schestowitz> with descriptions of themJan 24 11:32
schestowitz[11:17] <schestowitz> same for invidious and other distributed systems, like mastodon, diaspora etc.Jan 24 11:32
schestowitz[11:17] <schestowitz> some are optimised for themes, regions, extra privacy etc.Jan 24 11:32
schestowitz[11:17] <joedoe_> yay. searx.space is the official index afaikJan 24 11:32
