It’s just Mullvad and you have to pay 10€. If you buy Mullvad’s VPN service directly from their website you only pay 5€ and you get much more with the client they offer. So if you ask me the better choice is obvious.

Yes, because as I said it’s not a memory leak. I would have noticed a memory leak because I keep an eye on the ressources of my NAS (on which my SearXNG instance was hosted) and I didn’t notice an usual growing consumption of my RAM. I just didn’t check the consumption of RAM on each individual container that was running. I would have done that if I would have noticed an unusual consumption of RAM.
Look, I can’t give you more detailled information than this because it’s all from my memories. All I wanted to do was to help as good as I can by answering from my experiences. If that doesn’t help or is inappropriate to you I’m sorry. I didn’t want to offend you or anything like that.
the issue with SearX is the search results can be irrelevent or something random.
Haha, oh, right! I just remembered that often times when I searched something completely harmless some weird porn sites would appear in the results which had clearly absolutely nothing to do with the things I’ve been searching for. It’s one of the reasons why I stopped using SearX(NG).
Look at this thread to find some inspiration of what you can do to increase your online privacy.
I thought of a similar thread but I think the results would be pretty much the same. It’s great to have some mutual inspiration here.
Anyway, there’s tons of stuff I can list here. I’m gonna list some stuff but will probably forget 70% of the other stuff because it’s become so common in my daily life.
Gonna add some more to the list whenever something comes up in my mind. Like I said it’s become so basic in my life that I don’t always think about it anymore when I use it.
Btw things like 2FA only help with security, not privacy.
You don’t need to do it with every version. I only patch a new version every 6 months. That’s more than enough.
Agreed. Still feels like nobody knows about Vanced’s successor.
No, I didn’t check because it never got so big to the point where it would become suspicious to me that something might be wrong. Maybe it uses more RAM than other self-hosted search engines but it never leaked memory so it used more and more RAM the longer the instance ran. Just because it uses much RAM it doesn’t mean it’s leaking memory. It might just be developed badly, not very caring about your ressources.
None - I deleted it because I don’t use it anymore. It wasn’t much though and it never bloated, even when running for over a whole month.
I think you can even port forward with the free plan of ProtonVPN.
You can find many public hosted instances here but some of them use Cloudflare because they fear DDoS attacks. So keep that in mind when choosing your instance. Best is to host your own instance.
That’s weird, I never had memory leak problems.
I don’t like Whoogle because of their UI for image searches. Imo it’s really bad but that’s just my opinion. The image search is also the reason why I don’t use Brave Search because it redirects you to Google or Bing. What’s the point in being “a privacy respecting search engine” when you get redirected to Google and Bing which are the worst search engines in terms of privacy?
Been using a self hosted instance of SearXNG but recently went away from SearXNG in gerneral. Why? Search results more than often enough ended in timeouts from the search engines. It was frustrating and they never fixed it. In terms of privacy it’s top notch though.
It’s fine but I wouldn’t judge if I had never tested it for a while. But whether you wanna give that search engine a chance or not is completely up to you ofc. :)
If you wanna know how it respects its user’s privacy you need to do some research as it’s a little complex. I don’t see where you get scammed just by using the search engine. It’s like you’re saying you got scammed by a car seller once so you’ll never make any other attempt to buy a car ever again.
In the meantime I got to understand why Kagi needs an account: It’s their business model. You have to pay to make searches that exceed the free 100 searches. So of course you need an account.
Why? You can completely ignore that. Just use the search engine and ignore the rest. I’m really happy with the search results.
Mmh, looks like you need an account to use this search engine. Always not a good sign in terms of privacy but I might be wrong here. I’m currently using Presearch. It’s decentralized (like Lemmy) and anonymizes your search queries. Most of it is Open Source but they announced to make everything Open Source in the future.
Why don’t you use a sync tool to automatically sync your KeePass database when you’re home and just get rid of Bitwarden?
Edit: Or just use Syncthing to always keep your database on all devices in sync. You wouldn’t even need to open ports.
Why the need for a specific mobile app for Mailbox? I use Mailbox in combination with FariEmail app on Android. It even supports PGP. Couldn’t be happier.
No, because you’re just talking about how much RAM SearXNG consumes. In your original post you were complaining about a memory leak. I monitor the ressources of my NAS. Even after a restart of my NAS where every container was freshly started the RAM consumption wasn’t higher than a month later after the restart (without restarting any of the docker containers). And that is why I can with full conviction tell that my SearXNG instance didn’t leak memory.
This discussion is going nowhere from here so I’m gonna stop responding. I said everything to make my point as clear as possible. Have a nice day.
