How / what are you jumping to?

If you want to avoid the gpg mess, you can actually also configure gut to sign with your SSH key.

I watched him for a while. And I’d say 95% of the tims, it’s fine. Chitchat, banter, technical things. But then the remaining 5% of the time, there’s suddenly a weird off the cuff remark, something that really seems like a dogwhistle, or just otherwise strange turn of phrase that makes me go huh? and rewind.

I know that’s not a lot individually, but over time it added up enough that I stopped watching.

You misunderstand! It has also turned into basically a hobby (and recently, a job, lol) to manage nix configs.

Those 19k lines are clean, well-structured and DRY, and do describe every little thing about ca. 30 machines.

I don’t like that it’s not open source, and there are opt-in AI features, but I can highly, highly recommend Kagi from a pure search result standpoint, and one of the only alternatives with their own search index.

(Give it a try, they’ve apparently just opened up their search for users without an account to try it out.)

Almost all the slop websites aren’t even shown (or put in a “Listicles” section where they can be accessed, but are not intrusive and do not look like proper results, and you can prioritize/deprioritize sites (for example, I have gituib/reddit/stackoverflow to always show on top, quora and pinterest to never show at all).

Oh, and they have a fediverse “lens” which actually manages to reliably search Lemmy.

This doesn’t really address the future of crawling, just the “Google has gone to shit” part 😄
