Daily reminder that #Startpage is literally #Google and by using it,you directly support an evil surveillance company through the "anonymized" #AdSense ads it embeds into the results.Additionally they use shitty,manipulated results of Googles algorithms which weight the rules they give to website operators (SEO) over the websites actual content.That's totally fucked up and it's a very bad idea to use it.My recommendations:
- https://metager.de (DE) / https://metager.org (EN) is operated by a German non-profit and it's open source on its own #GitLab instance.It uses multiple sources for the results which help it staying neutral and it's easy to use,I already recommended it successfully to many not that experienced users
- https://github.com/asciimoo/searx is open source and available on many small instances hosted by independent admins and uses even more sources which you can select yourself in the settings.There are no ads and no tracking.Also there are many categories in which you can search.Good instances I tested myself are https://srx.sx , https://searx.spootle.de , https://search.bka.li and https://search.toot.koeln
PS: If you prefer Google results for some absolutely not understandable reasons,you can use it by setting it as the only source in one of the #Searx instances.By doing it that way,Google won't get money and you won't see any ads.
I'm doing this because of many wrong answers in Kuketz Blogs search engine survey and I'm doing it in English because it's important for everyone. #FuckOffGoogle #FuckGoogle #FuckStartpage

Kennt jemand eine Liste oeffentlicher #Jitsi Instanzen oder auch nur eine einzelne Instanz?Ich wollte mir das gerade mal anschauen,weil ich noch einen guten Audiochat fuer meinen #Minetest Server brauche.Jitsi funktioniert ohne Registrierung und ohne etwas installieren zu muessen.Das wuerde die Einstiegsschwierigkeiten extrem senken.Die Flagschiffinstanz ist aber leider bei #Amazon gehostet und die Informationswebseite bei #Google .Darauf zu verlinken halte ich fuer absolut unverantwortlich.Aber selbst hosten kommt auch nicht in Frage,weil ich fuer sowas bei weitem nicht genug Bandbreite hab.

@switchingsocial Don't forget Microblog.pub.It's a great piece of software,especially if you only need a single user blog with not that much features which works just fine to deliver your information but nothing more.I use it for my blog and I'm very happy with it.You can find the repository at https://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub and I have a fork of it with another design which is optimized for longer posts at https://notabug.org/nipos/nikisoftblog
