  • The thing with SearXNG is that it will search in multiple search engines in parallel and then aggregate the results. If the same result appears in all of the queries, it’ll be weighted more than one that appears in only one of the results.

    This way you get very neutral overall results compared to the biased ones Google usually delivers.

    Also, you can easily define custom search engines, so you could make it search on your favourite website as well.




  • You might want to look at Terramaster NASes. E.g. their F4-423 is basically an Intel NUC married to a SATA controller. They have an internal USB port where you can pull the OEM flash drive and insert your own, then install e.g. UnRAID or OpenMediaVault on it.

    That will be my next device if my Synology DS415+ finally dies.






  • I’m using OwnTracks in HTTP mode as I couldn’t be bothered with MQTT. For that, you only need the HTTP(S) endpoint/URL to log to, optionally user credentials and then it’s a “TrackerID”, “UserID” and “DeviceID” so the receiving server knows who’s talking.

    Side note: Traccar uses different ports to receive different protocols. For OwnTracks protocol, the correct port is 5144.

    My OwnTracks configuration is basically like this:

    • TrackerID: 1
    • DeviceID: Phone
    • UserID: mb
    • URL: https://mytraccarserver.com:5144 (the port itself is HTTP-only IIRC, but I’ve mapped Traefik Proxy in front of it which handles HTTPS)
