If they leave it out someone else will find it, the days of leaving things out deliberately past.

I wanted to say I know this one, but a lot of people beat me to it use caddy.

I to am on a residential static IP and have been loving searxng. It is fairly vanilla running on a pi 5 in docker.

Really, they are going to call someone who uses windows a hacker?

There are things like duckdns if you cannot get a static IP, but there are also things like wireguard.

Did not know, or care, they were still around.

Brave is chromium don’t be thinking it ain’t calling home somehow. First thing I do when I install a distro is make sure nothing Googlely is on there.

I am not sure of all the terms, but I do not see an ad blocker. Sure VPNs can do some of the work but get yourself a good DNS level ad blocker.

Touché, it does make it harder for them and anything they sell on you you wont see in search results, and yes turn off google 100 times yes turn off google!

Also use a pihole, or some other non commercial DNS ad blocker.

Be an even bigger pirate self host searxng and do not let big tech see or sell you!

I use wireguard for all that, it is self hosted and I do not have to have accounts elsewhere, once I have my OpenWRT up and running and my static IPs running to it I will move wireguard there. I have QR codes setup so that I can give people a taste of pihole for a short period of time when I am away from my LAN, of course when they are on my guest wifi they get pihole the whole time.

Just a side note for any 2FA I use vaultwarden.
