Without the greed mindset we just couldn’t possibly comprehend the benefits of turning our limited drinking water into more “art” than an artist ever wanted to create in the first place.

Personally I use addy.io (previously anonaddy). Self-hostable and an easy way to get and control your own email @

And ah-I! would walk five hun-dred miles and ah-I! would walk five hun-dred more. To be! the man that walked five thousand miles! to win that bet for sure. DADADUH

I mean, I could write one! I kind of just pieced it together from guides on the three individuals

Edit: back of the napkin guide below is basically in the OpenWebUI docs already! I use NixOS (btw) but docker/podman should work well.

OpenWebUI + Ollama setup – tl;dr docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

OpenWebUI SearXNG guide – a little more involved, but not difficult.

You can self host that too ;)

OpenWebUI + Ollama + SearxNG. OpenWebUI can do llm web search using the engine of your choice (even self hosted SearxNG!). From there it’s easy to set the default prompt to always give you the top (10, 20, whatever) raw results so you’re not confined to ai results. It’s not quite duck.ai slick but I think I can get there with some more tinkering.

My understanding is it scrapes what it can’t meaningfully get out of an API. Public instances run into rate limiting, but private instances don’t really have that problem.

Yikes this is an extremely one sided opinion piece. Valid criticism loses its edge when any hope of objectivity leaves the chat. Let’s step back.

Imagine this for a minute. There’s a ficticous company that makes gold mining equipment. There are workers at this company that are very public about their views on shortcomings of gold. Maybe even loud about the fact that it’s not the end-all be-all. The workers refuse to invest their futures on the success of gold and encourage others not to as well. The CEO hears about this. Should the CEO commend them?

I’m more of a dust man, myself. It runs recursively so it’s easy to pinpoint the culprit.
