For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they're much easier to grab.

What do you use for search?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Not OC, but I'm using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn't realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.

I still am using Google and I hate how useless it has become since SEO started to become a thing in the last 5 or 10 years. Maybe I should try Kagi. Does it have location specific search results

more on the 10 years end of that, i remember thinking results were declining ~2011 when they decided to start being ask jeeves

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah, since about 2016 it has started to get really bad though. I remember when I would be looking for a solution to a computer related issue, all the top results were super useful Tom's Hardware and AnandTech forum posts. But of course nobody does SEO for forum posts because they're just trying to help people not make money, so instead now all of the probably AI written crap is in the top results which half the time is only barely related to what I searched

Yes, you can filter by almost any country in the world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Cool, yeah I will definitely be trying it out thanks.

I have my own self-hosted instances of Ecosia, Searx and Whoogle.
