Just set up SearxNG on my tailnet and wow. That One Weird Trick(TM) made my internet feel a bit more like it did in the late 90s again.
Search results take just a bit longer to appear than Google/DDG, maybe about a second more, but there are no ads, no AI-generated answers that might be wrong, no tracking... I run a search and the first tap of "h" brings me to the first result. It was easy to add to Firefox as well, and now my private SearxNG instance is my default search engine.
Kind of sad that simplicity is the thing that feels magical but here we are.


Sad mediocre old dude
