This is a cool hobby project, but why is this notable? Why a FastCompany article? I'm trying to figure out anything that sets this apart from thousands of other little hobby search projects. I understand companies like Perplexity or Brave or DuckDuckGo "rivialing Google", but building a hobby index and crawler is nice, and worthy of a "Show HN: "... but an actual media article?
I greatly prefer Kagi https://help.kagi.com/kagi/company/ but it's very nice to see more competition in this space in general.

Today we have Brave and the alternative Bing frontends but Kagi is still unrivaled because how easy it is to remove shitty results.

The IP thing is interesting, I was trying to make this CSGO bot one time to scrape steam's prices and there are proxy services out there you rent, tried at least one and it was blocked by steam. So I wonder if people buy real IPs.
Yeah people buy residential IPs on the black market. They are essentially infected home PCs and botnets.

Could also be a form of effort justification. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effort_justification
> The effect is most likely to occur when there are no obvious reasons for performing the task. Because expending effort to perform a useless or unenjoyable task, or experiencing unpleasant consequences in doing so, is cognitively inconsistent (see cognitive dissonance), people are assumed to shift their evaluations of the task in a positive direction to restore consistency.

It claims I reached the article limit. The last time I saw a fastcompany link must have been a decade ago! I was nostalgically looking forward to read another article of theirs. Alas... https://archive.is/HA7y4 Some bits and pieces: > his new search engine, the robust Search-a-Page https://searcha.page >, which has a privacy-focused variant called Seek Ninja https://seek.ninja > > The secret to making it all happen?…
This is a rite of passage and a badge of honor for homelabbers/tinkerers/hackers to discover for themselves IMHO. If you haven't tried it, you should. The heat is bad enough to warrant moving it, but add the noise too, sprinkle in a few nights of bad sleep, and it becomes an effective form of torture :-D
Just don't decide to move it to a closet unless you also install some fans in there. I ended up finding a cozy spot under the staircase which worked quite well

hug of death? I fear the temperature will get very high in his laundry room
Change it to a sauna?
However the exhausted hot air never had the same feel of a sauna. It left the air stale and dry.
Well, I created my own domain index. I have not crawled every page inside domains, but it is not my goal. I have 1542766 domains. Might not be much, but it is an honest work. It is available as a github repo, so anybody that wants to start crawling has some initial data to kick off. Links https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database
Cant you just request the ICANN’s zone files and have the canonical list of the day?
This is why we have computer-variants of Library Science and Archeology, Forensic Science and a bunch of other advanced knowledge (not AI, mind you).
