This software is more meant to be ran in a server environment, it’s suppose to be a replacement to subscription based photo/video cloud storage. I would not recommend you run this on a desktop you use daily as it’ll consume resources in the background slowing your desktop down, this is kinda why NAS storage systems exist.

Once you get a grasp on the BASH shell I would suggest playing around with docker and docker compose in a headless environment (headless = no desktop environment, shell only) as there are loads of applications you can self-host over your network.

Pretty sure Bibliogram was inspired by Nitter before it became deprecated. Hope to see this flourish.

Installed Dolphin on my work desktop which runs Win11, definitely not meant for Windows as certain functions like searching or dragging and dropping don’t work, at least it’s 1 step close to making windows slightly more bearable.

Yup, it works 90% of the time. Happens on all devices so I suspect Searx is just running into an error of some sort. Too lazy to investigate.

I host my own SearXNG via docker compose, reverse proxied it via Traefik, added a few security headers, restricted access to my country to help prevent abuse.

Use it daily, the only complaint I really have is it occasionally doesn’t search when you type in the address bar of a browser. What I mean is I’ll type a search query and instead of redirecting to the query (searx.yourdomain.tld/search?q=test) it’ll just redirect to the homepage of my SearXNG instance (searx.yourdomain.tld) forcing me to retype my query. Annoying but not the end of the world.
