I have searx, and i’m feeling like a god of search, better than google, better that bingbinggo, and anything else Although I had a lot of problems with it when I was hosting it on a RPI and docker, now i’m not, and it’s just so much better
Docker by itself is not a good thing, bad with security, not entirely open source, buggy networking, not very reproducible
The problem with docker was timeout for requests, not sure whose falt it was, but the reverse proxy container was unresponsive pretty often
Also, yeah, RPI was not really fast too, it had 8gb ram, boot from ssd Just right now I have i9 with 64gb ram, and this is stupid fast, and actually for most of the apps the performance bump is like 50%
About docker, really, try to look into nixos, it has a really steep learning curve, but it will worth it, and you will be able to do magic
Containers are really awesome, but take a bit more to troubleshoot sometimes. Docker is not the only method to run them either. I prefer podman actually, but K3s is the next logical step for running services in a more powerful setup.
Podman is better, but believe my words, try nixos. It’s like a docker-compose file, but for a system, this is really something groundbreaking
You specify all the system and services passwords, usernames, all the stuff, your wallpapers, directories, keys, everything
And all basic configurations are already unified, so to enable some service you just need to add a line in your main config like services.nginx.enable = true; and it just works with all the bells and whistles (kind off, you can add much more. Even more than in containers)
The services are usually not sandboxes, but you can sandbox them, can even run the same containers
Sorry if you’re really not into it, it just nixos feels like a whole new lvl after podman
edit: even like that, I manage all my machines as a fleet with nixos, all from one configuration So I can basically press a button and change all the usernames on all machines and everything will continue working
Instead of adding each machine separately to a vpn, I just press a button and it deploys all the machines with wireguard and connects them all
No nix is super cool! I really like the idea that guix and nix in having that system as code from build to deployment. I am not sure yet on how I feel about it for fleet/cluster deployments, k8s schedulers, network patterns like service meshes, ETCD, and operating on labels and cluster state are all super powerful.
I have looked too into using nix to make OCI containers and OCI containers to make flatpaks as well. All where they make sense of course.
There seems to be a lot of discount codes and affiliate links which usually means payment from the providers to the person running the list. When money is involved, truth is often the first casualty, so I would take it with a grain of salt.
www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ is also a great resource with a much smaller and stricter list with regards to privacy and tends to be my go to when I’m looking for a new privacy respecting service. I think they have a community here but I don’t think its very active and they also have a subreddit which was pretty active the last time I was on it a few months ago
I started listening not too ago, sad to see this go… I really wanted to re-listen podcasts about self hosting, but does not seem an option anymore… But all the best luck for him!
The people that just learned about him get screwed with the old episodes not being available, but for those of us listening for a while now, he didn’t have a lot more to cover anymore, the last year has basically been retouching on old stuff.
He made starting up a privacy podcast useless, now, somebody may step up. Although he’d be hard to beat.
You’re taking something simple and making it complicated. Go with known trusted VPNs that have a history of proving themselves. Mullvad, iVPN, Proton (most of their history is with the email, but that means something) they’re all priced pretty close, no need for insane scrutiny.
Unless you’re buying kilos of fentanyl and automatic weapons off the dark web, don’t overthink it. Absent that, if your goal is simply hiding your IP and appearing in a different city somewhere, just grab a trusted one.
Thanks for the recommendations. Regarding it being easy and me making it difficult, I respectfully disagree, and would like to provide a bit perspective. If you’re here replying I suspect you’re at least a minor hobbyist, and I’m sure that privacy and security solution selections seems quite simple to you. I assure you, it isn’t easy for everyone.
This particular market is literally overrun with intentionally deceptive and often very outdated information, which make it an absolute minefield for the uninitiated. I’m thankful I dove deep enough that I realized I needed to ask a question, because I may have ended up with one of the many much worse choices had I not asked.
Is this the r/VPN spreadsheet? They love affiliates. They once asked to partner with my r/privatelife subreddit, I pointed out some unreviewed VPNs and inconsistencies and they went silent.
Go to r/VPNTorrents, the only legit source of VPN info on reddit. Datahoarders and piracy people follow their advice. Ignore Techlore, PrivacyGuides and all those copypasta bloggers. They know nothing and are just quick enough to pick up on what’s trending among pirates and serious privacy advocates.
Thanks, that is very helpful. For the record though, which PrivacyGuides are you saying I should avoid? Is it the site this comment mentions? lemmy.ml/comment/5985755
I also see that the person who replied to your comment linked a didn’t Privacy Guides site.
TL;DR: Only AirVPN and ProtonVPN are recommended. While, IVPN and Mullvad used to be until they discontinued port-forwarding; which makes them unviable for torrenting.
It’s the same folk, basically. TheAnonymouseJoker or whosoever is free to have their own opinions. Fact is that Privacy Guides is an open community that allows the discussion of these topics. If anyone doesn’t like their takes, they can either head to their Github page or to their own platform for a dialogue on the matter.
It has been doing this shit for a while. Returning results based on just one key word out of many keywords from my query.
Lately they have been even ignoring the restrictive +“keyword” syntax and returning whatever shit just so they won’t admit their (or Microsoft’s indexer) is shit
It’s not the fact that there are filler results that bothers me, after all there might not be results for everything we may possibly search.
It’s the fact that these are links to services which have a tie to my unique identifiers which I deliberately declined access to in all available ways!
Thanks for mentioning Kagi! I’ve been looking for some Google/DDG replacement but every single one I’ve tried had some sort of dealbreaking drawback for me. Google collects all my data and heavily filters my results, DDG provides dogshit results most of the time I don’t even bother using it, Startpage is awfully slow, and I didn’t even get to understand what Searx is as looking for it led me to some random ugly pages.
Subbed for 1 year 10 bucks plan. Works super-fast on mobile too. Hell yeah!
The add-on Cookie AutoDelete allows way more flexibility with cookies including white listing cookies. Example: you could have all cookies deleted but not the ones on your whitelist. It has many other options for controlling cookies.
Thank you for your input :). While this add-on has more flexibility on what to keep in your browser, it only deletes them after they have entered your system. It’s actually not as useful as it sounds because your data is already exchanged with the server.
If you are interested you can read my too long edit to see what I meant and how to block specific cookie before they enter your system. Also on how to spoof your user agent and activate privacy.fingerprintingProtection in firefox.
Why do you only give offers to people that havent signed up? People who have an email with them but never have had any other services still dont get the offers ?
