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 is where it's at. Seriously love it and have replaced my search engines on all my computers and phone.

I use this along with Vivaldi browser that will let me switch engines quickly with "search shortcuts" for those few times I need local Google results.

Yep I hosted it on my VPN server so I can reach it from all my devices. Love it. Learned about it here and I'm really happy I did.

I'd love to do that, too. But I'm a bit overwhelmed with setting it up :/
