What search engine does /g/ use?
I'm currently in the state of DDG. I know why I should switch and I know I would miss bangs.

Google.

Because I don't believe DDG does anything apart from give you shitty results.

Do you run it from home? If so, how did you get out of the spam blacklists?

How are you confident that you can keep your server as secure (different from private) as the servers run by people who do it for a living like with Protonmail, etc?
>>
>>59898338
I'd rather spend my time making love with my gf (who I talk to over riot.im on the go) than keeping myself out of spam lists every day. Not to mention that a mail server costs you more than paying 12€ a year for secure email with posteo, and cock.li for random accounts you dgaf about.

>>59898390
I run it on a VPS

>>59898402
I literally spend no time avoiding spam lists, residential IPs are what get blacklisted and I'm not using one.

Why do you trust your VPS provider? Unless they're some Russian provider, I'm sure either 1) they log your connections and/or data or 2) they can be compelled to do so without your knowledge.

If you're going to trust anyone, you might as well trust an email provider over a VPS provider. At best they're equally untrustworthy as far as government intrusion goes, but an email provider is way more convenient.

Why do you trust your VPS provider in the Netherlands more than a VPN provider?
>>
>>59898653
Why would I trust a VPN provider more than a VPS provider? Plus I can do a hell of a lot more with my VPS than with a VPN and use my VPS as a VPN.
>>
>>59898668
I don't think you should trust a VPN provider more than a VPS provider, I think you should trust them equally.

I believe a VPN is more convenient, though, and they have a lot more riding on preserving your absolute privacy than a VPS provider does. You can also get a VPN entirely anonymously whereas many VPS providers require your identity.
>>
>>59898687
>I think you should trust them equally.
Exactly. So you're telling me I should go for the one that serves a single purpose instead of the one that serves a ton of purposes? Nah.
>You can also get a VPN entirely anonymously whereas many VPS providers require your identity.
Quit talking out of your ass, you can anonymously get a VPS as well.

I'm not telling you what to go for. Reread my posts.

>Quit talking out of your ass, you can anonymously get a VPS as well.

Name a reputable, trustworthy provider that allows you to pay anonymously and provide no PII.

And stop being a hostile little shit.

Oh, you're just giving opinions I never asked for, much better.

DDG honestly sucks for finding anything recent. let alone news or shit like that. it's decent for finding archives, software, stackoverflow threads etc.
>>
>>59898759
>Oh, you're just giving opinions I never asked for, much better.
Reread again. I asked you why you trust your VPS provider over a VPN provider. What followed is what many consider a "discussion".

Don't be so arrogant as to assume that my sole intention with replying to you was to change your mind. It was to see why on Earth anyone would trust a VPS provider over a VPN provider, because frankly I'm sick of people recommending them over VPN services for people who have absolutely no use for anything a VPS can do other than act as a VPN.
>>

>frankly I'm sick of people recommending them over VPN services for people who have absolutely no use for anything a VPS can do other than act as a VPN.
I thought we were talking about mail servers, you're the one who brought up a VPN. Maybe you should reread as well. I never recommended anything to anyone, I simply stated how I run my mail server without my messages getting marked as spam.

I run my own mail server with FreeBSD, sendmail, and dovecot. I have never had trouble sending mail to any address and as far as I know have never been on a spam blacklist.

I'm honestly not sure why this meme is so prevalent because it's the opposite of my own experience. I guess people don't know how to setup sshguard and get brute forced, or they don't know how to configure sendmail and run an open relay.

I had a life before my mail server and it hasn't changed since then. A VPS won't help you get one and it won't help you lose one, that's simply a personal issue that you're trying your hardest not to blame yourself for.

DDG is satan itself. Switch to startpage/ixquick or searx.me.

pic very related.
>>
>>59900013
I second this. DDG is a sham. I have since switched to Start Page. The only downside is that it queries Google.

you can download track me not and have it bombard search engines with random queries that would make it much harder to profile you

Gabriel Weinberg, the founder of DuckDuckGo, used to run the Names Database.[1]This was a website that aimed to connect people who had lost contact by gathering lots and lots of e-mail addresses. Getting access could be done by either paying money, or submitting lots of e-mail addresses of other people. Since the service revolved around gathering personal information, it is very suspicious for Gabriel Weinberg to start a business that is privacy-oriented.[2]

DuckDuckGo used to set a tracking cookie, even though they claimed they didn't. This was done by a third party they cooperate with, which means that it wasn't necessarily intentional, but if it's unintentional, it shows a worrying lack of care.[3]

DuckDuckGo is based in the US. This makes it really easy for the NSA to compromise it. If it were based in the EU, for example, the NSA wouldn't have the legal power to force them to log everything without telling anyone. This wouldn't guarantee privacy, but it would make it a lot more plausible. Instead, they're based in the US, which means that the NSA can do whatever they want with them. There are secure search engines that are not based in the US.[3]

Um how

"query !w" doesn't search wikipedia for example, so can you elaborate on what I have to do please?
>>
>>59905575
https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/issues/28
>>
>>59906066
OH, it has to prefix the search terms. I've always used it as "query !bang" in DDG and it didn't even occur to me to try the opposite when using searx.

That is actually fantastic, I might finally switch over now. It will take some getting used to since it doesn't actually redirect to the target site (especially noticeable for wikipedia, where if a page exists native wp search - and hence DDG search - redirected there automatically, whereas searx simply shows the result on which you then have to click), but I think it will be worth it.
