Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I’m particolary interested in opinions of people who used both
I like SearXNG, I pipe it through a gluetun vpn tunnel to mix up my traffic with others. I turn off google and use a !g bang when really necessary. One of the killer features is setting up blacklists for content farms (see config file) which has helped my dev searches immensly, also bye fandom etc.
