It'd be very interesting to run the same experiment except rather than on different engines, just on different versions of Google in different years. Sadly I can't really search 20…

Yeahhh I like to think of it as search like it's 2015...

Yeah I really do need to, I'm not sure why I didn't from the start...

I actually did not know if these, but I definitely will implement those!

Woah it was because I had run out of API credits, fixed! I'll improve the error screen for that. Sorry, did not expect this traffic, it's had several thousand searches today!

I see, that is odd and I haven't run into that yet, thank you! I'll have a look into it and try to reproduce the issue, which browser+OS are you on?

That's fair enough. For the record I do intend to apply for a non-profit official entity. I would say it still has a role as opposed to Brave considering the lack of advertising th…

Sure, would've made for a chunky post title tho :P

Yup, it is pretty much just a better frontend for existing search. I want to build my own index and ranking algorithm in the future, but sadly it's quite resource intensive so it w…

Oh! I will make sure to fix that, thank you for the bug report!

That is very true, and it's not cheap to maintain. I do however really hope that donations can cover it enough, and I have plans about other ways to monetise it while remaining not…

Honestly I agree. This is part of what I love about the idea of Kagi. I do believe a not-for-profit alternative is needed, however if there's any for-profit model a search engine s…

I do intend to support this and have actually already been asked to!

This is a really interesting view, but I'm not sure I agree. So many amazing projects are truly free without the goal of profit yet their maintainers still do amazing work. I feel …

As far as I'm aware, Ecosia does sell ads.

This is sadly probably quite true. I'm sure there are workarounds, like slightly changing it every month or two, although that would require quite heavy maintenance. Perhaps the co…

I see nilch as slightly more about being simplistic and not having many features that are unnecessary. I do share many of the values and benefits with searxng (and really love thei…

Thank you! I would definitely consider custom ddg bangs, yes. Is there any particular reason you want that rather than just all ddg's bangs like it is currently? I'll have a look i…

I've been working on a little open source [1] search engine, nilch. I noticed that nearly all well known search engines, including the alternative ones, tend to be run by companies…

I'm not too sure what you mean. I kinda just avoided looking at existed implementations because it's a bit more interesting to do it myself.

Mostly just because C is a lot simpler, and in kernel dev, simplicity is everything. I've used rust for other projects but I feel like in kernel dev I would much rather use a simpl…

Hi, I use DoomGeneric which is a portable fork of Doom. It's on a TempFS loaded from an initrd. I use doom1.wad.

Yeah mmap is quite a stub lol, I def cheated on that. I just wanted framebuffer access, but the user heap uses sbrk internally instead of mmap anyway so I properly
