@emily are you doing the personal knowledge engine thing? I attended this talk a few years ago from this guy who has this really refined system of news feeds and personal search engines. yacy was one of the tools he used
@2ck@emily@M4ch1n3H34d yacy is...really overkill for searching in a personal knowledge engine. There are a bunch of open source full-text engines out there to pick from; they don't have to be literally webscale.
@Seirdy well the whole enterprise of building such a thing seems like overkill for most people. like, even a CEO or something would have the company to tell them what they need to know. if it's a hobby though 🤷♂️
