  • I’m clearly not understanding something here, but I thought search engines would require loads of space to index all the internet. Just thinking about the ability to search for code on stackoverflow seems like loads already.

    Edit:

    Found it!

    SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

    Looks very interesting, thanks for commenting about it.








  • I think that’s a good idea, my solution is to mute group chats and check them when I’m free, but it’s not ideal for the reasons you’ve mentioned.

    In whatsapp there’s only the option to mute the chat.

    In discord there’s granular level of control that allows me to mute everything but direct notifications (@d00ery).

    But if you implemented such a feature, how would you limit it?

    i.e. one notification for the first message and then mute all replies for 5 mins? What happens when that one person who always replies an hour later messages?

    Could we use AI to check if the conversation is still related to the original message?

    From a dev perspective there’s all sorts of solutions but I wonder how would one find the sweet spot.





  • Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:

    • Portainer
    • Calibre
    • qBittorrent
    • Kodi

    HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

    Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

    Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.
