11:31 schestowitz; [10:58] <joedoe_> Hi guys! I just found the article http://techrights.org/2021/03/15/duckduckgo-in-2021/

11:31 schestowitz; [10:58] <joedoe_> Very informational!

11:31 schestowitz; [10:58] <joedoe_> There Mr schestowitz mentioned the ss search engine. Alas I was not able to find additional information on that. Am I right with assuming it is a onion searx meta search machine?

11:31 schestowitz; [10:58] <joedoe_> Is it open source? Any "about" information on that?

11:31 schestowitz; [11:02] <schestowitz> hi

11:31 schestowitz; [11:02] <schestowitz> yes, searx would be better

11:31 schestowitz; [11:02] <schestowitz> not best results

11:31 schestowitz; [11:02] <schestowitz> but they're not a monolith

11:31 schestowitz; [11:03] <joedoe_> Ok, I thought the ss machine is just a frontend to searx?

11:31 schestowitz; [11:03] <schestowitz> I'm not familiar with it

11:31 schestowitz; [11:06] <joedoe_> Ok, because you wrote it would be better if the tor project would set ss as standard search machine and not ddg in the 7. point. Maybe that should be changed.

11:31 schestowitz; [11:08] <joedoe_> On my short research I found https://searx.space/ and maybe it would make sense to have another frontend, that cycles through the open searx machines.

↺ https://searx.space/

11:31 schestowitz; [11:08] <joedoe_> Thanks a lot for the great article. It provided several new insights to me!

11:31 schestowitz; [11:16] <schestowitz> great

11:32 schestowitz; [11:17] <schestowitz> there are sites that give an index of searx instances

11:32 schestowitz; [11:17] <schestowitz> with descriptions of them

11:32 schestowitz; [11:17] <schestowitz> same for invidious and other distributed systems, like mastodon, diaspora etc.

11:32 schestowitz; [11:17] <schestowitz> some are optimised for themes, regions, extra privacy etc.

11:32 schestowitz; [11:17] <joedoe_> yay. searx.space is the official index afaik
