The thing Synology does which no competitor is yet doing is rock-solid stability.

I have a 10 year old Synology running as well as it did the day I bought it, and I’ve never needed to troubleshoot a single issue on it.

Until a competitor can match that I will still be buying Synology, with the increased drive price the cost I pay for that stability.

I think people underestimate the value of that.

There are a lot of backend processes for those sites which need a server, so that wouldn’t work, but thank you regardless.

If you’re doing static sites, then traffic shouldn’t be a concern.

I host two sites that each get more than 2 million hits a month, and I run them from a $0.10 cent Scaleway server.

Cloudflare in front of the sites takes most of the load.

As someone posted above, someone obtaining access to your encrypted data might lead to an issue in the future:

It’s a PWA, just install the site on your phone as a native app. I’ve been using it for about a year.

I’m just glad a world leader is finally coming right out and saying it.

We will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States. We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere. And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations.

This is some concrete and serious talk.

It’s the kind of thing I host so that no matter what device I’m sitting in front of, I can easily pull it up. Hence a server is needed. I’m not talking about just my own laptop or phone, I mean any shared or borrowed device.

I find it so useful I pull it up almost every workday.

What do you mean by that? Podman compose is a drop-in replacement for Docker compose, and everything is identical other than needing to add :Z to the end of your volume lines.

Here’s my Navidrome config. This is running on uCore version of CoreOS, with rootless Podman and SELinux. I made no configuration changes to Podman out-of-the-box, and this is the full compose file.

i have to remap the user namespace

Note: I have not done this. What are you running Podman on? Perhaps there is some config issue with the host, since you’re having issues with many containers?

To be fair, maybe just go with docker if it’s causing that much pain. But again, mine is working OOTB without making any changes to the Podman setup on ucore, and using the config below.

services:
  navidrome:
    image: deluan/navidrome:latest
    container_name: navidrome
    ports:
      - "3015:4533"
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      # Optional: put your config options customization here. Examples:
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data:Z
      - ./config.toml:/navidrome.toml:Z

You need to add :Z to the end of your volume lines, or lowercase z for shared volumes.

I’m running 50+ containers, probably most of the popular ones, and all working fine.

I run 50+ containers with rootless Podman compose (on CoreOS) and haven’t encountered any unsolvable issues so far.

I’ve never tried quadlets but haven’t found a need or any driving reason to do so.

Move your stuff from Gandi to Netim.com

Gandi got acquired and has done some very weird shit with pricing.

This is largely circular logic. “It’s irrelevant what Kagi is doing, as long as I can trust what Kagi is doing.”

The problem is that you can never know what software a company is running in production. So for any service you don’t host yourself, at some point you have to just cross your fingers and hope.

We can certainly agree to disagree. I don’t encourage you to use Kagi - quite the opposite, I would say it is a terrible fit.

As I said in my original comment, I think it makes perfect sense to replace an itemised list - which needs to be constantly updated - with a generic “all major search engines” which covers everything.

If Yandex being removed isn’t an issue, then I’m not sure what could be termed as Proton being cagey.

For me, from a privacy perspective as a user it’s largely irrelevant what third-parties they use on the backend as long as my searches stay private.

Adding the statistics for third parties to their stats page would be neat from the user perspective, but I can’t imagine what value there would be in publishing that information from Kagi’s perspective.

The topic is “using Yandex”. What’s the issue with that? I wasn’t asking what is the issue with changing the wording on some random page 🤦

It’s for a streaming service.

I’ve mostly seen Kagi pushed as a privacy-respecting option

Interesting. If that’s what your primary goal is, then absolutely I think Searxng would be better. Kagi would more aptly be thought of as “better search” - as in rather than being the product (a la Google), you pay for a better product.

• The results, first and foremost. When I’m getting better results it saves me time and it’s worth it to me.
• Site ranking up/down/block
• Removal of AI generated images from image searches
• Custom “lenses” mean that you can create subsets of the internet to search on
• The filtering options
• Modification of result URLS. For example I rewrite all Reddit links to old.reddit.com - ^https://(www.|)reddit.com|https://old.reddit.com/
• AI model integration (this one is definitely going to be polarising…). I’m already paying for Kagi, and this lets me query a stack of different models at no extra cost.
• Custom CSS (a minor thing, and sure I could use a browser extension, but this way it’s consistent on all my devices with no extra effort)
• Compared to Searxng, other than the results being better, it’s the ease of configuration. I can’t be bothered trying to tweak Searxng through YAML when I could just get exactly what I need OOTB.

There’s probably more that I’ve simply gotten used to over time, but that’s a few off the top of my head.

Granted, I’ve never used it

This is probably the reason you don’t get the value.

I do rent multiple VPS’s and I have run Searxng, and for me Kagi is worth paying for. It’s certainly not worth it for everybody though.

Regarding the account, I used an anonymous email and paid with an anonymous method. Perhaps they could assemble my identity based on my searches, but considering the new support for Privacy Pass it appears they are walking their talk.

What’s the issue with this? API calls to other search engines are anonymised, and naturally I want Kagi to search as many sources as possible.

So what’s the issue?

You don’t need Wayback machine to find their old page, it’s all open on Github: https://github.com/kagisearch/kagi-docs/commit/6baff1c066db9b3d804653ea19bc9d1c076a710b

I don’t see any “conspiracy” removing an itemised list - it’s just something which is a pain to keep up-to-date over time. Better to say “all major search engines worldwide”, which is what they’re now saying.

Again, I don’t really see any issue here…
