  • What is open source license ?

    Jump

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_license

    In short, the Open Source license means the work you created can be used by anyone, for any purpose, read, modify and share the original source and your modifications. There are variations of Open Source licenses and debates to what even Open Source means.

  • Someone built the PlayStation controller PC dongle that Sony refuses to make

  • It was cheap too, less than 10 Euros or the like and it didn't have any input latency (at least none I could feel). I remember friends ordering other adapters and some had builtin latency.

  • I had a Playstation 1 dongle. It was my first PC gamepad that I used (mainly for emulation) and it served me good for years. It was the only controller I could accept for playing games, because PC Gamepads at that time were terrible. Didn't know Sony shut them down. Always wondered why not more people used it.

  • I finally host my own private instance of SearXNG

  • For me I was using SearXNG for years now, by rotating public instances. So this private one is basically the same, just private. The search results are really not great to be honest. That's why I sometimes used other search engines back and forth, especially if the instance got blocked a lot or was no longer available. And a few times I still access Google directly, if the prior search results were nonsense. Most of the time the search results with SearXNG are satisfying enough for me that this is a non issue. I'm okay paying with a bit inconvenience or worse results. I'm not dependent too much on web search anyway.

  • First I wanted to install with podman, but the instructions wasn't clear about it. And I'm not very familiar with docker much, just used podman to build a cross platform app with Rust (little unrelated I know). So I could not figure this out and looked into the AUR. To my luck that worked out pretty well. Maybe I will look into the docker again in the future, if I want do a cross device installation (access from other devices). Right now, I'm not comfortable doing that.

  • There were parts compiling though, such as Valkey I think at least.
