I’m a Toronto-based software developer specializing in Ruby on Rails / Crystal with game development experience, passionate about AI and open source. Join me as I share insights, best practices, and explore the intersections of technology, gaming, and AI.
I detail how I created a search engine. In the end I recommend self-hosting spyglass for finding information online.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Recommending Spyglass over, say, SearxNG? Seems a bit over-reliant on Google services for my taste, but sure.
Searxng has it’s own issues like scaling and getting good results. It can still be a good option.
