Neither solution is fair for some people. Being tempted into using your privacy as a currency, because you don't have much money shouldn't even be an option.
there will be a lot of people left behind, as most can't afford to donate or subscribe.
They do fall behind either way. If you can't afford it, your privacy is exploited and you pay by being targeted by ads (if you don't know your ways around it).
May I ask: did you write the config on your own and did you create the neccessary icons? Or is there a sample config somewhere, with some icons as well (jellyfin, youtube etc would be nice).
Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.
I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.
I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.
E.g. in germany it is not allowed to fly over private property with a drone (equipped with a camera), no matter the height. You have to stay above offical streets. And maximum flight hight is 120 m, if I remember correctly.
I guess it's EU law, so it should be simmilar in other EU countries.
Thanks for the linked blogpost about Kagi! That saved me a lot of money.
It really changed my mind about it.. I want to support a privacy focused search engine, not an AI-loving mess without focus on their core product.
I will have a look at MetaGer next. Although I am sad that there is still no good original search engine with it's own results.. Still all depending on Google and Microsoft.
I tried what you are describing: Using a Pi4 and loading lineageOS (KonstaKANG) on it. Before that I tried libreELEC with Kodi or something like that.. Internet via WLAN.
Both setups suck. Everything is slow, input with my cableless keyboard/touchpad is laggy and I am not using the TV because of it.. Watching jellyfin on my smartphone is more convenient.
But I am new to all this stuff, so maybe I missed some ways to optimize this setup. Next time I will just take a long HDMI cable and connect the TV with my main PC.
At the moment I am using Openmediavault as a VM within proxmox - I pass my HDDs through to this VM.
Openmediavault let's me do all the stuff I want to: Share folders via SSH, NFS and raid-management.
Do you know if I can do the same with proxmox directly? Do you maybe have a link where this way is described in detail?
Same here, I really like driving, it can be fun and (sometimes) relaxing and there is no better place to sing along to some songs.
At the same time I try to avoid driving as much as possible, I take the bike, walk, take the train, no matter the weather.
I don't want to be one of those cars sitting at the red light, using up space, polluting the environment and giving our local parties the idea, that we need that one more lane.
Some things are more important than a few convenient minutes.
