Still with Hetzner yeah. Haven’t had to deal with Hetzner customer support in the recent years at all, but they have been great in the past.

Plex is a great example here. I’ve been Hetzner customer for many many years, and bought a lifetime license to Plex. Only to receive few months later a notification from Plex that I am no longer allowed to self-host Plex for myself(and only myself) at Hetzner and that they will block all access to my self-hosted Plex instance. I tried to ask for leniency or a refund, but that was wasted effort as well.
In short, I was caught on a crossfire when for-profit company tried to please hollywood by attempting to reduce piracy, so they could get new VC funding.
…
I am now a happy Jellyfin user and warmly recommend all Plex users to try it, the Jellyfin community is awesome!
(Use your favourite search engine to look up “Hetzner Plex ban” for more details)
I wish I knew not to trust closed source self-hosted applications, such as Plex. Would have saved a lot of time and money.
Kagi is a metasearch-engine (apart from their homebrew small-web index, known as Teclis), so the reddit lenses will continue to function long as one of the search engines it’s querying is paying reddit.
WeeChat! I’ve been using WeeChat for like 13 years now and I love it. I used to use irssi back in the days and mIRC before irssi existed… Some bitchX experiments may have happened at some point during the shell boom too.
This remote interface is the biggest selling point to me even today, it’s amazing: WeeChat-Android.
Hi!
Great question! I don’t crawl reddit, but this applies to other large sites as well. reddit themselves they have at this very moment banned the ip range where I host my Yacy at (Hetzner). I just looked up from my index that I do have 257k pages indexed from reddit through teddit I used to run, this is from before reddit api-enshittification, going to delete those right now.
And the way how the crawling is done is you define crawling depth, which limits how much content is crawled from the site.
… etc.
I have my tampermonkey scripts set to only crawling depth of 1 at the moment (Just set them to 2 actually, kinda curious how much more I will be crawling), I’ve manually crawled some local news sites as a curiosity at the beginning. And my database is currently relatively small, only around ~86.38 gigabytes according to Yacy. This stores aproximately 2.6 million documents in Yacy’s Solr.

Yacy has tons of options for crawling, so you can customize how much it crawls and even filter out overly large sites with maximum number of documents set when you send Yacy there.

The tampermonkey script I’ve been talking about in these posts, it’s very simple script: https://github.com/JeremyRand/YaCyIndexerGreasemonkey
Hit me up if you guys have more questions! I’m by no means an expert on Yacy, but I will do my best to answer.
Surprisingly, it’s very doable, requires basic technical knowledge and relatively minimal computing resources (runs in the background on your computer).
I have tampermonkey script that sends yacy to crawl any websites that I visit, and it’s keeping up relatively good index for personal use of the visited websites. Combine yacy with ~300gb of Kiwix databases, add searxng as a frontend and you have pretty strong self hosted search engine.
Of course you need to supplement your searches from other search engines, as yacy does not crawl the whole web, just what you tell it to.
I encourage anyone who’s even slightly interested on this stuff to try Yacy, it’s ancient piece of software, but it still works very well and is not an abandoned project yet!
–
I personally use Yacy mostly on private mode, but it does have the distributed network there as well.
I’ve been using dwm for well over 10 years now… It just works, does what I want. Super easy to extend as well, and I can only blame myself for any bugs.
Yes, correct.
I apologize if someone misunderstood my reply, Plex was the bad actor here.
