I selfhost SearXNG and route it's traffic through a VPN. I rarely get blocked by search engines, and when I do I just change the VPN server. You lose the benefit of your data being intermixed with everyone elses on a shared instance, but you still get the other privacy improvements from SearXNG

Relay, then Boost, ended on Infinity.

Bromite was my go-to browser, but it's dead. No updates since December, no active development, and not responses from the dev. If you want to use bromite, one of the contributors had keeping the patches up to date. You can find the releases on this GitHub repo

We all had laptops in highschool, and apparently our IT admin couldn't figure out how to disable the "Upgrade to windows 10 for free!" Popup everyone was getting. Anyone that upgraded to windows 10 got called down to IT had their laptop reimaged. When I heard about it, I figured that they must have been checking OS by our user agent or some other web-based method, as upgrading to windows 10 appeared to kill all of the group policy things. Assuming they had everyone's mac address recorded, you could correlate laptop to user pretty easily.

From then on, every week I would USB boot a different OS. Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Windows 10, Windows XP, etc. I would run each OS for a few days until I got called down to IT, had my laptop inspected, and sent back to class when everything checked out. Drove them nuts, I thought it was funny.

Searxng is a meta search engine, how is that relevant to a large language model?

I use koboldcpp with the vicuna model. Reasonably fast generation (<1 minute) on a 4th gen i7, would probably be on par with chatgpt in terms of speed if you used a GPU.

Oddly enough, Active has been the best for me. When I sort by Hot, I get almost entirely 2+ year old posts. Guess it all depends what communities you've joined

I joined Lemmy a few weeks ago when a lot of other reddit refugees were making the switch. A lot of the servers were overloaded, so I just went ahead and hosted my own. My instance is never overloaded because I'm the only user, and because Lemmy is federated I can subscribe to communities on any instance I want.

I used NPM for a very long time, but after I switched to podman, DNS name resolution for containers stopped working in NPM, they work fine in every other container. Switched to caddy and it's okay, it only supports HTTP transports so I can't use it as a gateway for my DoH/DoT server, but that's not a huge deal. Once NPM works properly on podman I may switch back

Personally I use LibreTube, which is an Android frontend for the Piped API, an anonymous YouTube interface and proxy. I self host Piped, so it's nice to have an app that integrates on mobile. Personally, I think LibreTube looks a lot nicer than newpipe, buy new pipe has more functionality iirc
