Surprised that happened. Very rare to see that these days.

Alright. You do you, pal.

That strikes me as a terrible idea given what some people search on the web. I have also never run a TOR exit node.

It is somewhat like a TOR exit node indeed. Though you can easily prove your innocence by saying that you did not make these searches but that you merely run a meta search engine that helps others protect their privacy. Even the TOR project has templates for exit nodes to submit them to the government or whoever is contacting them in those cases.

The instance's IP

Long brainstorming sessions on how to implement my next Lemmy bot.

SearXNG is a meta search engine, which means it gets the search results from other search engines (Google, Bing, Qwant, etc.) and show them to you. It acts a proxy, thus hiding the users IP. This means Google can't target ads based on your IP and also can't make a profile about you.

5 euros a month for 300 searches. Definitely not worth it. I live in germany.

I refuse to believe Proton when they do advertisements lol. They also are being pretty suspicious with ignoring XMR support since years of people requesting it. If they ever even considered it a bit, their new shit Proton Wallet wouldn't allow you to store (or only store) bitcoin, which we all know has nothing that protects your privacy.

Firefox's sandboxing sucks ass (especially on Linux). Mozilla has still not implemented a better sandbox, despite the open discussion since years. GrapheneOS (a security and privacy focused aosp rom) uses Chromium for its browser Vanadium because it ultimately is undoubtedly more secure. Google pumps millions into their chrome security team.

So while not that good for privacy, chrome/chromium is better for security.

Why not run an SearXNG instance and help everyone instead? Y'know, Kagi is pretty expensive and they are also getting into AI shit.

If that were to happen, the receiving end wouldn't know who sent which vote, thus making spamming extremely easy.

Alright, you do you.

Why repost stuff from Reddit?

Not sure if that is effective at all. Why would a crawler check the robots.txt if it's programmed to ignore it anyways?

what the fuck

Block? Nope, robots.txt does not block the bots. It's just a text file that says: "Hey robot X, please do not crawl my website. Thanks :>"

There's a reason why software is being made with Rust now. It has the speed of C++ (sometimes faster), has a nice syntax, is memory safe by default, has the best compiler error messages and also the book is very good. I learnt entirely by the book and it's very good at explaining things.

I do wonder: why not rust? It would have been amazing. A fast language on par with C++ that also is memory safe. But Swift? You gotta be kidding me...

Mull is a hardened fork of Firefox. I use it but some rare websites' functionality does not work with it. Mull is not more secure than Chromium though, even if it is hardened. Chromium is undoubtedly more secure but not privacy-friendly. I also don't want to support the chromium monopoly, so I don't use them. Brave as a browser also sucks. Shields suck. Nothing to this day has been better than uBlock Origin yet.

Indeed. Email is not ideal for such things but it exists and is needed because everyone refuses to make a switch. If XMPP were to replace emails, that would've been great.

Anyway, I still don't trust Proton. Have a great day.
