Work in cybersecurity. Don't use AI. Thanks to AI all the search engines are fucked.

Please let it die.

    Jokes on you, I use AI as a search engine to wade through all the other AI generated slop. It works some of the time, unlike google which is only ads.

    I use a self-hosted combo of Hister (search engine with local index, you can get a browser extension to add pages you visit to the index so it basically searches your own browser history, it also bas a web crawler for building up your local index) and SearXNG (meta-search engine, it basically searches multiple normal search engines in the background, and you can route those searches through tor or a rotating list of proxies for increased privacy)

    Setting up SearXNG is on my to-do list

    Highly recommend it. Only took like 5 minutes to set up, just install it, enable the systemd service (or equivalent, I've only run it on arch, but I assume there's at least an openrc service as well), and then set which engines you want it to pull from in the config (and optionally configure search proxies)
