Except most of Reddit of bots now too lol

No worries! Curious your thoughts on it if you decide to check it out more.

Ente is cool, but not cheap. Immich is free.

What does AI have to do with your NAS being less secure?

Obviously

No way. My name is also Danny and I live in Dallas, Tx.

This is awesome, but a $600 vacuum isn’t

What’s wrong with GitLab?

Eli5 free as in free beer and free as in free speech?

So lame

That guy just posts to hate on Kagi

Thank you! Is that setup via uBlock?

Thanks for your feedback. My goal was just to look through the privacy policies with this, but you bring up a good point that that might not be a good experiment and could less to false assumptions. I do wonder if Kagi has had any this party analysis to back up their claims since it is not OSS.

That’s a good point that I hadn’t considered. I do like the idea of SearXNG, but didn’t have great results when testing it. Maybe I should give it another shot on another instance.

Do you have a screenshot you could share with me? I am searching “ioslife” on the GitHub page and not getting any results.

I couldn’t get AdGuard Home working properly on my server, so I have been using NextDNS.

This is a good reminder to attempt to get it set up again

I think all of the “drama” in this thread could’ve been solved with me copy and pasting my words into a self post

Done. Thanks for the recommendation.

If you notice, I am only including more information when someone (mostly you) has brought up concerns about one of the offerings. If you had brought up concerns around Whoogle, then this conversation would be about Whoogle instead of Kagi. I am not promoting anything and my post clearly says,

Which one should I choose? That’s up to you and what your threat model is. Each one of the products I listed have pros and cons. They all have different and unique feature sets. They all pull from different search indexes. You should choose the one that provides the best results and amount of privacy you desire.

I’d love to have more discussion around the other offerings in my post and even ones not listed.

I also searched it on Google and DDG and didn’t find it on the blocklist.

At this point I can only assume you are trolling by saying the same thing over and over again. I’ve made it very clear I am not promoting anything, rather just looking for opinions on the best options.

Yes, they did but my domain isn’t on that list from what I can tell. I’d love to know the list you found it on.

Hi, once again just gonna ask for help identifying where my site is on a blocked list. If you can’t, then I would appreciate you stopping from saying that. Thanks! :)

Friend, I am just responding to your false claims with information from the privacy policy so that other users can be informed with what is clearly stated

Well now, that would’ve saved me a lot of time and research. I also wouldn’t have learned nearly as much from reading all the different privacy policies. Luckily, I didn’t do that which allowed me to create my own personal recommendations for my family and myself.

No worries. I appreciate you letting it stay up.

Hey could you point me to the blocklist that my domain is currently on? I am not able to find it on any public list. It also would be extremeley surprising to me if it was on a list as this is the first article I have shared with the world.

Kagi’s privacy policy claims that “Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.”

SearXNG is tricky because the privacy policy comes from whatever instance you are using.

Anecdotally, I have had better results from Kagi than SearXNG. The SearXNG instance I have been testing out keeps getting rate limited and mostly shows results from Qwant and Bing.

I don’t really have a bias as I am testing out all of these options and trying to find the one that works best for my family.

I want to reiterate that I have no affiliation with Kagi or any other search engine, I currently don’t even pay for Kagi. I am just a human on the hunt for the best search engine to protect my family’s privacy.

That said, I just saw your update regarding Sentry.

Looking at Kagi’s Privacy Policy, there are two things to say in response to

It states that Kaji is the best when actually they are clearly the worst, they do record your IP to deliver their services and they do share your data with a notorious 3rd party tracking company- sentry.io.

“We do not log or store your IP address. Your IP address is used only temporarily when enriching location/maps searches, and is not shared with any other party.”

“Anonymous logs are shared with Sentry when bugs, crashes, or warnings occur for debugging purposes.”

Also:

If you pay them then everything you do on their site is linked directly do you. I.e. zero privacy.

“Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.”

TIL I am a bot. :)

I also made it a point not to state anything is the best or the worst and mentioned that the choice is up to you and your threat model.

Also, thanks to @digger@lemmy.ca for pointing out my typos. I have fixed them now.

Oh yikes. Those are egregious spelling errors hahaha. Thank you for reading and the feedback!

Yes, I struckthrough Qwant since they are sending your IP to Microsoft with every search. :)

Yeah, Kagi seems pretty cool so far.

Not trying to self-promote, just looking for feedback on my findings and to see if anyone has other opinions to share around the products

You’re saying ioslife.dev is on a list? I did a quick search on Kagi and didn’t find anything. Could you share more info about what you’re talking about? Thanks!

Oh. Sure. I truthfully was just looking for some feedback on my findings and didn’t see any rules against posting articles written by self.
