They can be service provider and can stop providing those services to, well, basically anyone. It’s not like they literally blocked them off the internet.

Considering how almost everything you possibly need in Japan is in 1-2 miles range, guess they can afford smaller cargo space

Still not stealing

It’s not fair to call Kagi just meta search engine. As you mentioned they do have their own index, it’s just that they are complementary. They even show you how much of the results are unique results from their index. They’re very open about it.

there is a better open source meta search engines which actually respect your privacy and need your donations more than Kagi shareholders.

Privacy I can definitely agree on but the actual search result is not better. I think it’s safe to say that if you’re paying for Kagi, you know what Searxng is and can spin up one if you want. I’ve done it myself and it was clearly not better.

And if you think about it, if you self host Searxng, that means all the search query + your IP goes to search providers which kinda kills the point, unless you use VPN or Tor, both of which have their drawbacks.

If you use hosted instance, you have to trust them. Being an opensource project doesn’t mean a lot when you can’t go through the source code that is actually running.

At some point you have to trust someone. I happened to trust Kagi to some extent.

I meant leading as in “if Apple does something, others will too”. That has been true for quite a long time now.

Considering their industry-leader status, it’s about 5-7 years too late.

Fancy S3 losing market? I am shocked!

I mean, part of the protest is to wait for the consequenses. Whether it’s right or wrong, I don’t see how this is surprising to anyone.

Thank you. I’m Asian myself so 😅

Bigot, says who denies Xinjiang genocide. There’s nothing to add to the discussion when you are clearly not capable of having one lol. Blocked.

Cloud: just someone else’s computer.

I have 5th gen PW and I never turned off Airplane mode. It’s a damn good device: great backlight, simple UI, ridiculously good battery life…etc

But if this no usb nonsense continues, I’m never going to buy Kindle again.

Good thing is that Kindle lasts for decade. My previous Kindle served me well for 10 years.

edit: Nevermind, found this reddit post that it’s just showing up as an MTP device and that Calibre works just fine.

Surprised they didn’t have one until now

Still.

For less technical people or just don’t want to deal with public-facing open port: Tailscale or Zerotier are both great option (use Tailscale if former)!

I mean clearly this is more of a fun little project than not. What I wanted to say is that it’s a bit missing the point if all we talk about is money.

So there was two solutions for them:

1. No-code, paid and pre-made
2. DIY script writing, free(except materials) and custom built to suit personal needs. Fun to build(obviously).

I choose 2.

Does this mean that I can back up linux ISOs on my all the time? PCIe connection to my DNA when??

Damn sorry! edited.
