Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I’m particolary interested in opinions of people who used both
Thanks in advance!
If you learned today about LibreY, why don’t you provide a link for others? 🙃
I am sure you are not the only one, who didn’t know about it
you’re right, thanks for posting it yourself! I’m a newbie in the selfhosting world, so I thought that LibreY was “famous”, but I was wrong!
Never assume anyone ever knows what you’re talking about. It may seem like you’re talking to people here who know more than you, but everyone has a different bucket of knowledge.
Self-hosting, by it’s nature of using a lot of OSS, means there’s a LOT of discovery here.
You’re effectively addressing the entire world here - you never know who is here for the first time.
This is college level writing 101 stuff - the first time you mention something, you footnote a reference. Today that equivalent is a link.
I try to always link to things we’re talking about, except for really big stuff (I’m not linking to Google.com, but maybe to a specific app or feature somewhere within Google).
I like SearXNG, I pipe it through a gluetun vpn tunnel to mix up my traffic with others. I turn off google and use a !g bang when really necessary. One of the killer features is setting up blacklists for content farms (see config file) which has helped my dev searches immensly, also bye fandom etc.
I love me a no-js, simple search engine 😋
I’ve only ever self-hosted SearxNG but i wanna try out LibreY. As for who gets rate-linited less, if you self host for yourself plus some friends i’d be surprised if you have Google rate limiting your searches. I didn’t run a problem with mine anyways. I like the “torrents” feature of LibreY tho. I might self host and report back.
Self hosted: I don’t know how I wpuld get others to use it aka more fingerprintable
Publzic: I haven’t found an şnstance that I felt was trustworthy, I am very open to recomendations
