  • I’ve been toying with Perplexica over the last few weeks occasionally, it feels really restrictive.

    I’ve had to modify the internal prompts to make it generate better search terms with my SearxNG (And depending on what LLM model you use, you need to fine tune this…) and having to rebuild the container image to do this has just been annoying. Overall, I’ve had experience with self-hosted LLM web searches on Open-webui, but perplexica is a fun project to try out nevertheless.



  • On varmaa kyllä, tuolla wordpress-asennus näyttää olevan jossa on materiaalia ainakin vuodesta 2020 alkaen, mahdollisesti vielä aiempaakin sisältöä.

  • This is a bit off-topic, but did you try to increase the JVM limits inside Yacy’s administration panel?

    Spoilering to hide wall of text related to this topic.

    This setting located in /Performance_p.html-page for example gives the java runtime more memory. Same page also has other settings related to ram, such as setting how much memory Yacy must leave unused for the system. (These settings exist so people who run Yacy on their personal machines can have guaranteed resources for more important stuff)

    Other things that would reduce memory usage is to limit the concurrency of the crawler for example. There’s quite a lot of tunable settings that can affect memory usage. Would recommend trying to hit up one of the Yacy forums is also good place to ask questions. The Matrix channel (and IRC) are a bit dead, but there are couple of people including myself there!

    Also, theres new docs written by the community, they might help as well! https://yacy.net/docs/ https://yacy.net/operation/performance/



  • Teclis - Includes search results from Marginalia, free to use at the moment. This search index has been in the past closed down due to abuse.

    Kagi, whose creation Teclis is, is a paid search engine (metasearch engine to be more precise) also incorporates these search results in their normal searches. I warmly recommend giving Kagi a try, it’s great, I’ve been enjoying it a lot.

    Other options I can recommend; You could always try to host your own search engine if you have list of small-web sites in mind or don’t mind spending some effort collecting such list. I personally host Yacy [github link] (and Searxng to interface with yacy and several other self-hosted indexes/search engines such as kiwix wiki’s.). Indexing and crawling your own search results surprisingly is not resource heavy at all, and can be run on your personal machine in the background.





  • Plex is a great example here. I’ve been Hetzner customer for many many years, and bought a lifetime license to Plex. Only to receive few months later a notification from Plex that I am no longer allowed to self-host Plex for myself(and only myself) at Hetzner and that they will block all access to my self-hosted Plex instance. I tried to ask for leniency or a refund, but that was wasted effort as well.

    In short, I was caught on a crossfire when for-profit company tried to please hollywood by attempting to reduce piracy, so they could get new VC funding.

    I am now a happy Jellyfin user and warmly recommend all Plex users to try it, the Jellyfin community is awesome!

    (Use your favourite search engine to look up “Hetzner Plex ban” for more details)








  • Hi!

    Great question! I don’t crawl reddit, but this applies to other large sites as well. reddit themselves they have at this very moment banned the ip range where I host my Yacy at (Hetzner). I just looked up from my index that I do have 257k pages indexed from reddit through teddit I used to run, this is from before reddit api-enshittification, going to delete those right now.

    And the way how the crawling is done is you define crawling depth, which limits how much content is crawled from the site.

    • 0 crawling depth = only the page you send Yacy to, nothing more.
    • 1 crawling depth = all the links on the page you send Yacy to
    • 2 crawling depth = all links on the page you send Yacy to, and all links on the pages crawled…
    • 3 …
    • n …

    … etc.

    I have my tampermonkey scripts set to only crawling depth of 1 at the moment (Just set them to 2 actually, kinda curious how much more I will be crawling), I’ve manually crawled some local news sites as a curiosity at the beginning. And my database is currently relatively small, only around ~86.38 gigabytes according to Yacy. This stores aproximately 2.6 million documents in Yacy’s Solr.

    Yacy has tons of options for crawling, so you can customize how much it crawls and even filter out overly large sites with maximum number of documents set when you send Yacy there.

    The tampermonkey script I’ve been talking about in these posts, it’s very simple script: https://github.com/JeremyRand/YaCyIndexerGreasemonkey

    Hit me up if you guys have more questions! I’m by no means an expert on Yacy, but I will do my best to answer.
