hug of death? I fear the temperature will get very high in his laundry room
I'm sure it depends on how much laundry he is doing - his dryer is probably heated entirely by servers. He can then exhaust the remaining server heat through the dryer vent stack.
I always wondered why someone couldn't do this. Google was invented many years ago by two guys in a dorm room and since then there's been so many white papers and advancements in the public sphere and the actual underlying problem has not changed that much, that it seems like it could be done by a small group or independent person.

The actual underlying problem has changed altogether. Pagerank is easily gamed by SEO. Search candidates and rankings now require assessment by LLM. Moreover, as a default, users want the results intelligently synthesized into a text response with references rather than as raw results. Crawling too requires innovative approaches to bypass server filters. I doubt any independent person can afford to run a vector datab…

[EDIT] Incidentally, are there any sites that do actual web search any more, better than Yandex? I'd rather avoid a Russian site if I can, but there are whole topics where it's impossible to find anything useful on heavily "massaged" allegedly-Web-search-but-not-really sites like Google and DDG (Bing), but I can find what I want on page 1 or 2 of a Yandex search. Is Kagi as good as that, or is their index simply ignoring a whole bunch of the Web like so many others? I don't mind paying.

Also a lot of site owners are reluctant to link out. So much so that 'nofollow' had been reduced to a hint rather than a directive.
