I'm in the process of replacing everything big tech with local services, from TV and streaming to even the search engine and it's just so much better lmao

Is there a local self hosted search engine?

lauha@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 173d

Meta search engines exist such as searxng but self hosted full blow search engine with your own crawler I doubt it

There are two types yacy which uses search results of user that use it and index them (from what I understood) and searXNGwhitch anonymise search requests to the search engine of your choice and presets you the result without ads or paid bias

It sure would be nice if Yacy actually, you know, worked. Last time I tried it -- which, admittedly, was a very long time ago -- the search results it returned weren't just irrelevant, they were in cyrillic or something. Maybe I needed to let it run longer to build up connections to more peers or something, IDK, but it definitely didn't give me the impression that it was even slightly usable in any way.

I know of Yacy and Wiby. If I recall correctly Wiby is a bit more specialized and not meant to crawl the whole web.

I've been meaning to replace my Roku with something like a Raspberry Pi running Jellyfin (client, not server) and now I want to add HyperHDR on top of it. I've got questions, though:

What underlying OS should I use? LibreELEC + Kodi? Android TV? Debian with the Jellyfin desktop client?
What remote control should I get for it?
Why does HyperHDR require a separate RP2040 instead of letting me hook my LED strip data wire directly to the Raspberry Pi 5's GPIO?

(I don't suppose Lemmy is connected to PeerTube well enough for a username ping to !liz@makertube.net to work, so that she could maybe answer my questions...)
