Search is fine for my uses. It doesn't have the facial recognition to quickly search for all photos of a person but it looks to be tagging things in an accepta le manner and I've found the things I've been looking for. I used their free trial - 1Gb of storage available for a year iirc - to try out a few things but then ran in parallel for a while and now have stopped syncing my new photos to Google. Good luck with wh…

thanks. Any other offerings you considered on your journey to ente.io?

I looked through the standard 'alternative to Google photos' top 10 lists that get updated occasionally and none of them offered a similar enough experience to make me look deeper.

I saw ente on a Reddit post somewhere. I like it's a mostly paid product with what seems to be a sustainable free/trial tier which is unlikely to drive them out of business. I like the e2ee, and their clients being opensource and they provide an easy way to keep an offline mirror (through the desktop client). It ticks my boxes.

The thing is you ARE paying for search but do not know how much, because you will never know where a targeted ad nudged you to pay a little markup for something that you bought. I prefer to pay for the services that I use with money rather than with my personal data, which may be used against mine or my fellow citizen‘s interest.

> you will never know where a targeted ad nudged you to pay a little markup for something that you bought. I don't search very often for stuff to buy, so… definitely not 10$.

Based on your searches, the sites that you visit, the videos that you watch Google or the likes create a profile that they then offers to companies to target you with ads. The effect may be subtle, but ads work, and companies hand millions to show them.

I do, we don't log searches.

So if the feds stop by you have nothing to hand over. That sounds great, but legally dubious. Aren't you required to keep a log? Thanks for the info nonetheless. I think I'll give it a shot and maybe don't look up how to get rid of bodies - for a friend. Oh, damn, did it again.

For that kind of risk profile, you can't have an account anywhere (not even HN), nor a cell phone

Not the op but I use chatblade[0] on the cli, chatgpt-next-web[1] as webgui and quivr[2] for multimodal stuff files/images/audio/video. atm everything goes over a azure openai endpoint but would love to infere an llm locally. [0] https://github.com/npiv/chatblade [1] https://github.com/Yidadaa/ChatGPT-Next-Web/ [2] https://github.com/StanGirard/quivr

Is there much difference between the Azure endpoint and the direct OpenAI endpoint?

It's mostly speed and that you can disable the constraints openai uses on their API and chatgpt. You have to write a motivational letter though...

I have a strong memory that Quora used to be quite good, and then was suddenly horrendous. Is this just me?

Not just you, it used to have solely high quality Q&A...then the yahoo answers folks migrated over

if this was the main cause, the expected result would be lots of highly-upvoted bad answers, as opposed to lots of scarcely-upvoted bad answers that somehow rank highly in Google searches

En masse https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/en_masse

Which is French for "in mass".

The blue ribbon chef was said to be the cream of the cream, so the restaurant owner was happy for him to have white card over the place. He arranged an outside the work of fatty liver, a main course of rooster of wine with eat all, and as the blow of mercy: burned cream; the full menu was a feat of strength! He made sure to wish the diners good appetite. However, when the owner visited from her foot on the ground she turned into a terrible child and demanded mouth amusers and crescents. She hated the decorative objects of art made of chewed paper.

(When we steal from French, we don't translate it to English, it becomes English).

I cannot see myself subscribing until they make the search API generally available.

>NOTE: The Search API is currently only available to customers of the Kagi Teams plan. Please reach out to vlad@kagi.com for invite.

https://help.kagi.com/kagi/api/search.html

It sounds like an excellent product, but I don't want to be forced to use their client/interface; I want to be able to make my own.

Yeah, exactly. I looked at Kagi last week (first time I had heard of it), when the $10/month plan was "only" 1,000 searches a month and "unlimited" was $25. While I think that I'll probably stay well within 1,000 searches, I'm also not sure, and it's just not something I want to have to worry about (it's ~33/day on average and I doubt I'll ever hit it, but still...) One of the reasons I decided to skip Kagi for now.

> it's ~33/day on average and I doubt I'll ever hit it That's a bit misleading. If the search engine really is that good, you should use it more, and then all of a sudden you'll hit the cap. I probably don't search that much now but that's because it's not worth the trouble.

> If the search engine really is that good, you should use it more

In practice the opposite happens. Because Kagi is presumeably so good, people use it less, because they find stuff faster. Something that would require 2-3 searches on Google is just one search on Kagi.

> maybe some people can live in the free plan limits When the free plan was 50 searches, that lasted me less than a day. Now that the free plan is 300 searches, it'd last me a few days. It was enough for me to get hooked.

Note that the free plan is still 100 searches per month. The $5/mo "Basic" plan now gives you 300 searches per month. https://kagi.com/pricing

Free is 100 searches, not 100/month -- when you've used them up, they're gone.

I was just thinking about purchasing a subscription last month, glad to see the price has dropped, I will definitely be buying it now,, also seems like they allow using PayPal which is a bonus. The results I've gotten on kagi at far superior to Google so I am happy to make the switch
