Systems Engineer and Configuration
Management Analyst.
Postgrad degree is in computer science/cybersecurity, but my undergraduate is in archaeology. Someday, maybe, I’ll merge the two fields professionally!
I love true science fiction, as well as all things aviation, outer space, and NASA-related.
Lastly, Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip of all time!
Glad to be here trying out kbin and the fediverse.
Hmm I just checked, they’re all live and their status page for each link has no outages. I would check any content blockers etc. that you have, I suspect it’s a problem on your end. They do use different domains for their blog, feedback, and help KB etc.
Kagi does exactly what you’re describing. It’s what I’ve been using.
You’re right, and that model actually forced/encouraged development and innovation of the software. If they didn’t make it compelling, no one would buy the new version. Now with the subscription model, these companies don’t need to do anything more than putting a new shade of lipgloss on it every year, they have a captive audience. They can basically pull a Valve and just patch security flaws.
Right there with ya! GameCube has always been my favorite. It also has the best iterations of Kart and Smash imo. I’ve recently been acquiring more GBA games to play on the adapter which is a fun time.
A tip for anyone who has the DOL-001 version with the digital output: you can easily get and adapter to HDMI, and there’s a company that now makes a USB-drive sized signal processor that does some upscaling and anti-aliasing. I’m now able to play on my 4k TV with a 1080p signal. Anyone feel free to DM me for the details!
I’m not saying a big old CRT isn’t still the best experience, but this lets me play on my main TV which is great for party games.
Here’s a follow up question on that for everyone…search engines that primarily use their own search index and crawler. This is the biggest thing for me, because I think it’s the only way to really improve results.
I’m aware of three since Neeva shutdown:
Brave search
Kagi
Mojeek
I’d love to hear if anyone knows of any other projects.
I use Kagi too, it’s surprisingly snappy! Like seriously impressive for a small org. They talk about speed optimisation being critical for them as well. I find the result to be excellent as well. A true Google replacement/feels like Google in its prime.
I believe they have their own index and bot as well?
Weird, they do, but they redirect for me and the final URL is different than what you pasted.

My best guess is that a DNS record is messed up on their end, and since I’ve been to those pages before relatively recently, the cname or A-record is still cached for me.
