Honestly, switching over to SearXNG was the best choice I ever made. Not only do I not have to see this AI bullshit, but it’s so refreshing to not have to append “reddit” to the end of nearly every search I do to find anything even remotely useful. Being able to self-host it is also really nice now that I’ve gotten it and nginx set up.

It ain’t perfect, but the last time I felt like I discovered such a big improvement to using the Internet was when I found out about ad-blockers.

I’m over here giving a standing ovation for this. Sure, I probably look a bit silly standing alone in my office in the middle of the night, clapping and whistling at my computer in reaction to an article on blog monetization while my kids are in the other room trying to sleep for school tomorrow. But bravo!

This honestly feels like a preview of what the Internet should have βεζσΜε if it hadn’t fallen to the sterilization of corporatism and the lowest common denominator.
