Still not stealing

It’s not fair to call Kagi just meta search engine. As you mentioned they do have their own index, it’s just that they are complementary. They even show you how much of the results are unique results from their index. They’re very open about it.

there is a better open source meta search engines which actually respect your privacy and need your donations more than Kagi shareholders.

Privacy I can definitely agree on but the actual search result is not better. I think it’s safe to say that if you’re paying for Kagi, you know what Searxng is and can spin up one if you want. I’ve done it myself and it was clearly not better.

And if you think about it, if you self host Searxng, that means all the search query + your IP goes to search providers which kinda kills the point, unless you use VPN or Tor, both of which have their drawbacks.

If you use hosted instance, you have to trust them. Being an opensource project doesn’t mean a lot when you can’t go through the source code that is actually running.

At some point you have to trust someone. I happened to trust Kagi to some extent.

how to make the toastest?

I meant leading as in “if Apple does something, others will too”. That has been true for quite a long time now.

anti-poor organization

I’m using that exclusively now for sure.

Considering their industry-leader status, it’s about 5-7 years too late.

Fancy S3 losing market? I am shocked!

I mean, part of the protest is to wait for the consequenses. Whether it’s right or wrong, I don’t see how this is surprising to anyone.

Thank you. I’m Asian myself so 😅

Bigot, says who denies Xinjiang genocide. There’s nothing to add to the discussion when you are clearly not capable of having one lol. Blocked.

Cloud: just someone else’s computer.

I have 5th gen PW and I never turned off Airplane mode. It’s a damn good device: great backlight, simple UI, ridiculously good battery life…etc

But if this no usb nonsense continues, I’m never going to buy Kindle again.

Good thing is that Kindle lasts for decade. My previous Kindle served me well for 10 years.

edit: Nevermind, found this reddit post that it’s just showing up as an MTP device and that Calibre works just fine.

I am more surprised that they use an encryption.

Realistically, ISPs don’t typically monitor small personal servers. Copyright concerns are primarily the domain of rights holders, who would need to file a formal complaint. However, for long-term use, it’s better to implement a more secure setup. Use reverse proxy + calibre docker image to make it use HTTPS.

Btw, given the circumstances, it’s likely you’re only using an internal IP (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx), which is inaccessible to your ISP. If that’s the case, there’s no need for concern. You don’t even have to censor it actually, since that doesn’t really mean anything outside your network.

Exposing your public IP to the internet is a giant pain in the b, especially given that you don’t seem to understand all this very much. Unless you specifically need external access, just use internal network. Even then, find other ways to accomplish the same result(Tailscale/Wireguard…etc).

If you set it up as just local sharing, ISP can’t see. If it’s public IP, in theory, since you don’t seem to use HTTPS, they can. However, they won’t.

I think people ise Calibre with Send to Kindle email feature, not the content server. I find that somewhat pointless as I have to wait for it to show up on my kindle when I can just use USB to make it show up instantly, as a format that I choose, without using any Amazon’s server. In fact, I have never turned on the Internet access for my kindle.

Passkey(with Bitwarden/Vaultwarden), bro.

I don’t live in the US but I’m guessing people working at Walmart at 2 am is not getting paid enough

tbh if they do server side ads I’d be glad knowing that it costs them too much that they should be glad they’re not losing money by ads, which I think they will.

Kinda yeah but it almost feels like an alpha stage product. Still very promising.
