This was a programming project from 5 years ago, that did not happen at the time, though we did run an instance of #searx/ to host the code. Opening up #openweb search https://hamishcampbell.com/opening-up-openweb-search/

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

"tl;dr
Já podes fazer as tuas pesquisas online no nosso meta-motor de pesquisa, disponível em: searx.direitosdigitais.pt

Os motores de pesquisa são uma ferramenta imprescindível no nosso quotidiano. Seja por motivos pessoais ou profissionais, todos recorremos a estes recursos com regularidade. No entanto, a sua utilização também tem um lado negro, especialmente a nível da privacidade. Quantas vezes não perguntamos ao Google questões que não nos atrevemos a perguntar a mais ninguém? Toda essa informação pode ser usada para traçar um perfil rigoroso com os nossos gostos, objectivos, ideologias ou desejos mais íntimos.

Um perfil que é usado para nos manipular. As pesquisas que fazemos ficam registadas em histórico nos servidores desses motores de pesquisa e servem para nos apresentar publicidade personalizada, tanto na página de resultados, como noutros sítios que visitamos. Nesses anúncios, os nossos dados pessoais, incluindo dados sensíveis, são comunicados a milhares de empresas, sem qualquer respeito pela privacidade e protecção de dados. Bem-vindos ao capitalismo de vigilância.

Foi com estas preocupações em mente que, na D3, decidimos que estava na altura de fazer algo para contribuir para uma navegação mais privada e ajudar a desmerdificar um pouco a Internet."

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! ;)

Since I'm a few hours from the end of this week, I want to mention what I've done so far to #reclaim my #digital life & protect my #privacy: Use #Mullvad #VPN. Downloaded all my files from #Google #Photos, deleted everything from said service (& #Onedrive for the matter), cancelled my Google One #subscription. I installed my own #Joplin #server for my notes. Switched to #DuckDuckGo but simultaneously, testing #Searx #instances. Baby steps ahead but still, steps ahead. Next step, NextCloud.

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:

Après avoir proposé en libre accès le métamoteur de recherche #Whoogle, qui est très simple (un peu trop ?), je vous propose, toujours en libre accès, #Searx (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searx) Il est génial Les recherches sont top, et beaucoup de réglages sont permis

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, 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...

What Searx instances do you use?

#Searx
#AskFedi
#SearchEngine

Seit ich vor 2-3 Wochen mal https://monocles.eu probiert habe, hab ich praktisch gar nicht mehr auf eine andere Suchmaschine zurückgegriffen. Ich hatte schon ein paar searx-Suchmaschinen, aber die Anpassungen da, scheinen sehr gut zu sein.

Unter Settings > Advanced gibt es auch die Option "Open-Access-DOI umschreiben" und bei den Suchmaschinen ist unter "Science" u.a. Google Scholar dabei :)

#Searx / #SearxNG, sur le principe je t'aime bien, mais en pratique vraiment tu es beaucoup trop lent.

You know, while I do appreciate Mastodon apps like Mona (formerly known as Spring for Twitter), Ice Cubes, Ivory (formerly known as Tweetbot), Phanpy, trunks, OpenVibe and etc, that have implemented fake quote post support, I dislike that I don't get notified when someone quotes a post of mine, using one of these apps.

When I quote people using my Friendica account, people (even Mastodon users!) do get a notification about this. Same happens when someone from Friendica quotes me: I get notified.

Wish we could have something similar like this, here, on Mastodon.

Even Bluesky and Threads have implemented that.

I miss quote feature from Twitter.

So I guess we gonna need to wait for Mastodon 4.4 to come out, since it has by idea, this feature well implemented.
