    Raspberry Pi 4 is a tiny device packed with useful features like support for dual monitors and fast ethernet connection. If you are looking for a simple yet reliable solution for your next DIY project, a Raspberry Pi can be an excellent base for that. Moreover, you can now easily run Ubuntu desktop on your Raspberry Pi 4, even with 2GB of RAM.

    [07:21] schestowitz

    Read below to learn how to improve Ubuntu's performance on a Raspberry Pi 4 with only 2GB RAM. You can use this method to set up a full-fledged Ubuntu environment with access to a keyboard, mouse, and networking.

I just found the article http://techrights.org/2021/03/15/duckduckgo-in-2021/ [11:31] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Why You Should Avoid DuckDuckGo (DDG) 2021 Edition, Now Microsoft-Hosted and With Extra Privacy Risks | Techrights [11:31] schestowitz [10:58] techrights.org | Why You Should Avoid DuckDuckGo (DDG) 2021 Edition, Now Microsoft-Hosted and With Extra Privacy Risks | Techrights [11:31] schestowitz [10:58] Very informational! [11:31] schestowitz [10:58] 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? [11:31] schestowitz [10:58] Is it open source? Any "about" information on that? [11:31] schestowitz [11:02] hi [11:31] schestowitz [11:02] yes, searx would be better [11:31] schestowitz [11:02] not best results [11:31] schestowitz [11:02] but they're not a monolith [11:31] schestowitz [11:03] Ok, I thought the ss machine is just a frontend to searx? [11:31] schestowitz [11:03] I'm not familiar with it [11:31] schestowitz [11:06] 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. [11:31] schestowitz [11:08] 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. [11:31] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-searx.space | SearXNG and searx instances [11:31] schestowitz [11:08] Thanks a lot for the great article. It provided several new insights to me! [11:31] schestowitz [11:16] great [11:32] schestowitz [11:17] there are sites that give an index of searx instances [11:32] schestowitz [11:17] with descriptions of them [11:32] schestowitz [11:17] same for invidious and other distributed systems, like mastodon, diaspora etc. [11:32] schestowitz [11:17] some are optimised for themes, regions, extra privacy etc. [11:32] schestowitz [11:17] yay. searx.space is the official index afaik [11:32] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:33] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:34] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [11:36] *rianne_ (~rianne@joseon-jhg.17c.k31cok.IP) has joined #boycottnovell [11:36] *rianne_ (~rianne@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [11:38] *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [11:53] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:53] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [11:54] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [11:59] *rianne_ (~rianne@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [11:59] *rianne_ (~rianne@joseon-jhg.17c.k31cok.IP) has joined #boycottnovell [11:59] *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Jan 24 [12:13] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [12:14] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [12:15] *rianne_ (~rianne@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [12:15] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [12:15] *rianne (~rianne@joseon-jhg.17c.k31cok.IP) has joined #boycottnovell [12:16] *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [12:17] schestowitz [11:48] I was thinking the mentioned ss is something like https://github.com/searx/searx/issues/2466 But when you have no details on it, I would remove it from the text.
