Me and my platonic sub can confirm >:3

Can't believe nobody's recommended NileRed/NileBlue yet. His videos are awesome

I'm hoping to expand the project to hopefully be a bit more robust - I'll definitely keep this on my radar

I would guess that it is the cloudflare protection, since that will have prevented crawlers from indexing the site while it was enabled.

To add to this, if you have the storage then a solution like Macrium Reflect (or a FOSS alternative) is a great option too. I let my PC back itself up every morning before I wake up, then if something happens to it (virus, broken driver, bad install, etc.), I can just revert it to the state it was in earlier that morning using a recovery drive.

Windows Defender has also gotten pretty good over the past couple years - features like controlled folder access will protect sensitive data from ransomware (I just use it on my backup folder). The combination of the two has been plenty for me to deal with viruses or broken programs - I haven't had to run a clean install of Windows in 4 years.

We're both ace, so pretty much the things you'd expect, tying up or harnessing, teasing, etc. Just cuddles instead of anything sexual

Each one has its upsides and downsides. Kbin's search is more convenient for certain use cases, but it suffers from the same problem as Reddit's search - it always sorts by new no matter what. In addition, it can only index instances with which kbin has federated. FediSearch should in theory index every instance, regardless of federation status, and do so in such a way that the most useful posts show first (assuming Google does its job).

Will do o7

Edit: It seems Brave doesn't support chaining site specifiers, so my current method won't work with their search

Idk wtf I just read but I can't stop laughing

I mean there's always archive.org and the various other internet caches that contain a large portion of Reddit's knowledge.

I will absolutely check this out, thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: I can't get searx working at all for me, but I went ahead and implemented whoogle support

It seems Kbin's been having some hiccups serving magazines because I've had the same thing with 404 errors - it should work if you refresh a few times

Bruh I'm 18 and I used these as a kid lol

Ah, you're right, my bad. I could have sworn I remembered a search syntax on ddg for searching different sites with an anonymous query - apparently ! operators are not it

Good point - I usually keep two weeks of daily backups just in case

Personally I'm just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes

DuckDuckGo can search using almost any search engine anonymously. Want to search Bing? !b query. Google? !g query. Scratch this, I remembered wrong what those do.
I do believe there's a setting to aggregate the top results from several different engines as the default search algorithm.
