First of all, thanks a ton.
I have been using SearxNG for more than year, running it as docker container on my Homelab. It’s connected to internet via Mullvad VPN.
Lately, I have see both Google and Bing search engines are either not working or returning complete garbage results.
My firewall setup doesn’t allow any incoming connection to homelab, except from LAN. So, bot accessing my SearxNG instance might not be the issue.
With degoog installed in the same fashion (docker + VPN), google engine seems to be unblocked for me (so far).
Not sure why degoog is not getting rate limited like SearxNG on the same system and same VPN. But, at least I’m happy :)


Tailscale, if you don’t want to make your services available to anyone else than you (and people you want to grant access to).
Thumb rule: whichever I feel comfortable with in a given situation, I use.
At workplace, use whatever OS and tools allowed by company policy.
At home, use whatever OS and tools you like.
At least that is how I’m managing it.
Isn’t Podman rootless by default, unlike docker?


All the countries need to use ‘Open sourced’ product, IMO.


Thanks a lot :)


In short, it’s the old problem maker - Nvidia GPU Linux driver. And, unless the whole thing becomes open source, there is no end to this problem.


From developers point of view, maintaining one codebase that works across OSs is better than maintaining OS specific multiple codebases.


Nice. After Bilbogram was discontinued, I believe we all were waiting for an replacement.


All except few are routed via VPN.

Linux offers near-endless customisation and Kernel is also open sourced for any kind of (performance) tweaks.
Moreover, Linux is, by design, better suited to be a server OS than desktop OS.
These are the same reasons why most of the web servers across world runs on Linux based distros.

WTF!! How!!
I had to sell my kidney to buy one RAM yesterday /s
If you are hosting your own videos then you really don’t need to spend that much money on storage.
Note that if you are self hosting then you can control who can use it (only by you and/or other people).
If you are allowing other people to upload their video, then yes, storage is going to be a problem.
Solving this issue is not trivial
Self-hosting?


Ubuntu 25.10 + Wayland + Gnome 49 + Nvidia driver v580.95 (RTX 3070 Ti) works flawlessly for both gaming and normal apps.


I think it is a Nitter instance.
Ah! Forget about that part. The docker-compose file you provided on repo works for rootfull docker.
For rootless docker, it works, but library import is not possible for file permission issue.
I think I know how to solve it, I will give it a try over weekend, and will let you know.
