Toda essa informação pode ser usada para traçar um perfil rigoroso com os nossos gostos, objectivos, ideologias ou desejos mais íntimos.

Um perfil que é usado para nos manipular. As pesquisas que fazemos ficam registadas em histórico nos servidores desses motores de pesquisa e servem para nos apresentar publicidade personalizada, tanto na página de resultados, como noutros sítios que visitamos.

Voy a detener por un momento el buscador #SearX y el traductor #LibreTranslate por razones de mantenimiento. Sólo tardaré 10 minutos y los echaré a andar de nuevo.

Autumn64 🏳️‍⚧️ :gnu: :linux:

Después de pelearme durante hora y media con el contenedor de #Docker de #SearX , al final sí migré la instancia desde mi #VPS a la #RaspberryPi . Como dije anteriormente, es posible que el uptime no sea del 100% dado que se va la luz a menudo en mi casa, pero aún así todo debería de funcionar bien.

Mónica "la que nunca se está en paz" Gómez ahora presenta...

Una nueva instancia de #LibreTranslate que monté hoy. LibreTranslate es un servicio web de traducción basado enteramente en #SoftwareLibre , que no depende de Google ni de ninguna porquería GAFAM para traducir un montón de idiomas. No es muy rápido y las traducciones tampoco son las más notables, pero funciona muy bien y sirve como alternativa libre a Google Translate.

La instancia está orgullosamente montada desde mi Raspberry Pi (la cual muestro en este video: video.hardlimit.com/w/ikLu3NcB) y está hosteada desde mi hogar. Para darle más uso a mi RPi es muy probable que migre acá mi instancia de #SearX desde mi VPS. En todo caso, no les puedo prometer un uptime del 100% dado que la energía eléctrica se va muy a menudo por mi casa, pero sí les aseguro que mantendré el servicio lo más accesible que se pueda 😉.

Pueden acceder a este traductor en: translate.autumn64.xyz

Si en su celular utilizan "Translate You" pueden poner la URL y las traducciones se harán desde allí.

¡Espero que les sea de utilidad! ;)

What's a fun name?

Since I'm a few hours from the end of this week, I want to mention what I've done so far to #reclaim my #digital life & protect my #privacy: Use #Mullvad #VPN. Downloaded all my files from #Google #Photos, deleted everything from said service (& #Onedrive for the matter), cancelled my Google One #subscription. I installed my own #Joplin #server for my notes. Switched to #DuckDuckGo but simultaneously, testing #Searx #instances. Baby steps ahead but still, steps ahead. Next step, NextCloud.

Oh no... now #DuckDuckgo is doing some #AI nonsense. OK, then #Startpage gets its chance.

And yes, I also use #searx #paulgo and whatever else is AI-free.

UmWerker 🕊 ☮️ 🤘

Ach nö … jetzt macht #DuckDuckgo auch so'n #KI Quatsch. Na gut, dann erhält #Startpage seine Chance.

Und ja, ich nutze auch #searx #paulgo und was sich sonst noch KI-frei herumtummelt.

The #dotcons have turned web searches into a cesspit of algorithm-driven propaganda. What was a tool for discovery and connection is now a tightly controlled funnel, pushing people towards preordained narratives and commercialized echo chambers. Nowhere is this more obvious than on Google, the go-to gatekeeper of information, where what you find is shaped not by the richness of human knowledge, but by whatever serves the interests of those with power and capital.

This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a crisis for public knowledge and collective memory. When dissenting views, grassroots history, and alternative voices are buried under layers of #SEO spam, ad-driven results, and opaque censorship, we lose the ability to shape any understanding of the world.

So what’s the plan to step outside this mess?

Build and use the #openweb to actively shift our habits to support platforms and projects built on the #4opens principles — open source, open data, open process, and open standards. The #OMN (Open Media Network) is one path to reclaiming these collective narratives, by creating decentralized, community-driven archives where stories are curated by people, not algorithms.

Resist the algorithmic trap, awareness is key, the more people understand how these systems blind us, the less power they have. Teaching media literacy, running workshops on the dangers of algorithmic control, and spreading knowledge about decentralized alternatives can gradually chip away at the illusion of choice presented by the #closedweb paths.

Rewild the digital commons, the web was meant to be a messy, vibrant ecosystem, not a manicured, walled garden. We need to plant seeds in neglected corners of the internet, build hyperlocal networks, and use peer-to-peer tech to share knowledge directly. The more we create and share outside the #dotcons, the harder it becomes for them to control the narrative.

Create and nurture alternative search tools, we used to run an instance of #Searx which is #metasearch tool which works outside the algorithm as much as possible. But we had to shut this down due to lack of support, this lack of support is a real continuing issue we urgently need to overcome, we need users, contributors, and champions to increase usage of these tools and promote their development to build the infrastructure for an alternative discovery layer that can bypass the #dotcons.

Just do it, don’t wait for permission or a perfect alternative to emerge. Start archiving, writing, and sharing now. Build your own small-scale #4opens projects and connect them to others. The #OMN isn’t some grand centralized solution, it’s a framework for thousands of messy, local, independent nodes, each adding to a larger network of people-powered knowledge.

This is a shovel-ready project. We don’t need to beg the #dotcons to change, and we certainly don’t need to play by their rules. Let’s get our hands dirty, compost the rotting remains of the algorithmic web, and start cultivating a truly human-centred internet again.

What will you plant today? 🌱

As our digital lives in the US become less stable and private, I wanted to figure out how to choose what search engine my browser uses.

I just added a new default search engine option for my Firefox on my MacBook (Mac OS).

1) add an extension to Firefox to allow me to add a different default search engine:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

Money going to #apple and #google is probably worse.

Glad you are checking out alternatives. Have you used any #searx instances?
