I spun up a docker container for searxng

Next step is to make it public to help other people and blend your data/traffic

Open a search app to the public? So their searches come from my IP address? No fucking way, unless I'm missing something.

My host-fu is weak and the uptime is terrivle right now... Trying to figure out why the container just crashed randomly

I'm still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?

[-] Kuvwert@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

It just culminates results from a bunch of other engines

I see that makes sense. So what does making it public/blending traffic do?

[-] Kuvwert@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Makes it harder to fingerprint/differentiate traffic
