what meta search engine to host?
  • In my experience the best way to find out is to spin up your own instance and play around with it! Docker makes this super easy because you can throw it away after without making any changes to your server. Searxng works pretty easily in a docker container

    Reduction in shipping pollution has increased global warming - Los Angeles Times
    www.latimes.com How did a sudden reduction in shipping pollution inadvertently stoke global warming?

    A major shift in global shipping regulations intended to improve air quality may have temporarily — and inadvertently — set off a geoengineering reaction that is warming the planet, new research has found.

    How did a sudden reduction in shipping pollution inadvertently stoke global warming?

    An interesting case where trying to make positive change resulted in an unintended consequence

    Are 16 cores in the new Ryzen 9950X sufficient for gaming?

    More than likely. Our issues seem to stem more from GPU power and memory at this point.

    www.ghacks.net Canonical: up to 12 years of support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - gHacks Tech News

    Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is a new long-term service support release of the popular Linux distribution that may receive up to 12 years of support.

    Canonical: up to 12 years of support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - gHacks Tech News

    Core support for Ubuntu won't change according to Shuttleworth. Ubuntu LTS versions continue to be supported for 5 years and non-LTS releases for 9 months. Ubuntu 23.04 is the current release version, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS the current long-term support release.

    Ubuntu Pro subscribers may extend support of LTS versions by an additional 7 years going forward. Ubuntu Pro is available for Home users and Enterprise / business customers. The subscription is free at the time of writing for Home users and starts at $25 per year and machine for Enterprise customers. Server subscriptions start at $500 per month.

    I find this very exciting though as it matches Redhat's support length and should allow you to basically install 1 supported OS for the lifetime of a machine
