Ah crap. I was giving #YaCy, the decentralised and distributed search engine, a spin in a jail on my dedicated server. But not only does it crash a lot or goes crazy on CPU usage while not responding to queries anymore, but it seems the author is going all in on AI / LLMs too. So uhm. No thanks. Self-hosted #SearxNG next?
Quali alternative a Google Search? Se volete riappropriarvi della privacy nelle vostre ricerche ecco qualche motori di ricerca alternativo!

There used to be this deal between Google (and other search engines) and the Web: You get to index our stuff, show ads next to them but you link our work. AI Overview and Perplexity and all these systems cancel that deal.
And maybe - for a while - search will also need to die a bit? Make the whole web uncrawlable. Refuse any bots. As an act of resistance to the tech sector as a whole.
I wish we had a fedi-style fix for web search.
Can you or anybody else in this reply section say whether #YaCy (https://yacy.net/) by @orbiterlab could be a way forward?
(Haven't had the chance to install and try it myself yet)
