Très intéressante vidéo de @lecrivainsf sur les moteurs de recherche alternatifs à #Google. Bien qu'aucun ne soit parfait, ils existent et les utiliser à la place de Google contribue à effriter au gré du temps l'hégémonie du géant américain. Gwên revient d'abord sur ce que sont les moteurs indépendants, les méta-moteurs et les moteurs hybrides. Puis elle décrit et donne son ressenti sur #Qwant, #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage, #SearX / #SearXNG, #YaCy, #Brave et #Mojeek. #GAFAM

Mónica "la que nunca se está en paz" Gómez ahora presenta...

Una nueva instancia de #LibreTranslate que monté hoy. LibreTranslate es un servicio web de traducción basado enteramente en #SoftwareLibre , que no depende de Google ni de ninguna porquería GAFAM para traducir un montón de idiomas. No es muy rápido y las traducciones tampoco son las más notables, pero funciona muy bien y sirve como alternativa libre a Google Translate.

La instancia está orgullosamente montada desde mi Raspberry Pi (la cual muestro en este video: https://video.hardlimit.com/w/ikLu3NcB6drzoFKDmMXa2z) y está hosteada desde mi hogar. Para darle más uso a mi RPi es muy probable que migre acá mi instancia de #SearX desde mi VPS. En todo caso, no les puedo prometer un uptime del 100% dado que la energía eléctrica se va muy a menudo por mi casa, pero sí les aseguro que mantendré el servicio lo más accesible que se pueda .

Pueden acceder a este traductor en: https://translate.autumn64.xyz

Si en su celular utilizan "Translate You" pueden poner la URL y las traducciones se harán desde allí.

¡Espero que les sea de utilidad! ;)

Switch to #SearX

As our digital lives in the US become less stable and private, I wanted to figure out how to choose what search engine my browser uses.

I just added a new default search engine option for my Firefox on my MacBook (Mac OS).

1) add an extension to Firefox to allow me to add a different default search engine:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/

1/2

Find a privacy oriented search engine that works for you, where you are not the product to be sold. #SearX

https://searx.space/

I just added some search engine recommendations to the lists.d repo

For this initial version, there are some interesting contenders:

• #DuckDuckGo just to be mentionted as one of the few mid search sites that can be used over @torproject / #Tor and is the #TorBrowser default search.

• #Ahmia which is an independently run #SearchEngine that crawls Tor but filters out the nastiest parts.

• @monocles / #monoclesSearch because it is a "hybrid aproach" doing #searx + filling the gaps with DuckDuckGo.

• @clew, (made by @amin ) which has it's own index but also includes "#bangs" to use external sites. It's focussed on speed and privacy.

• #FrogFind (by @ActionRetro ) also got listed because it's not just a #WebProxy for #VintageComputers but also able to search DuckDuckGo...

As always feel free to open up an issue / pull request if you want to see more entries...

With Trump in charge, switch to #SearX and away from #Google

If you are looking for a stable SearXNG instance, try mine: https://search.techbites.info

Using it as my default search engine for a while.

@avlcharlie
Yes sadly, but the #searx #project got forked on #github in 2021 to #searxng

Why doesn't #Tor use an #opensource #searchengine such as #searx by default?

Does a pretty good job & has 80+ instances available at:

https://searx.space/

That should ensure a better uptime & reliability than #duckduckgo & of course - way better everything - than #bing

More about it at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searx

@torproject

if you hate google's shitty ai web search changes and you've been wanting to try a new search engine out... how about all of them at once???

#searxng is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from 70+ search services, and you can run it yourself! there are a TON of instances and it's engineered to respect your privacy and hide your search history!

you can use an instance listed at https://searx.space or use one that i run, https://search.birdcat.cafe ! i have been using it for months now and i don't see myself going back to other search engines :3
