Yea, the whole article seems to wrap few valid possible vectors to a bunch of "scary facts" that does not mean what they sound.

Me, too. I don't think it is using the official API, neither does teddit.

Thanks for the info. I tried to have a lecture with 5 of my students and we lost the service when the screen sharing begun (lol). At that time I only had around 350 MB ram free so I think it hit 0 at some point and caused the crash. I am planning to test it with my new server (16GB ram 8 core) where I haven't done any additional config for nextcloud.

For news aggregation and summary, I totally agree with you. For just search indexing and referring, though, I think paying just for a link that is no more than 10 words is not justified. If I post a link in this comment from a Canadian news site, should I pay a fee, too? Because section 2 part b states that access to the news content, or any portion of it, is facilitated by any means, including an index, aggregation or ranking of news content.

This law should apply to all search engines, should it not?

I am running my own instance of searxng and it returns a mix of whatever engine I select, so I am very happy about it. One issue I am having is I cannot put a search widget in Android, and cannot add it as a search engine because I am using POST requests for privacy and Firefox Android only adds search engines that use query strings. I might have to write a widget of my own for that 🤔

You use MS products, you get points. Then you can spend them on their stores, I think?

That will be a good test. It will be greatly appreciated if you post your results here or on a separate thread.

Nice. Either you are lucky or I'm unlucky :). I have used it with my previous vps which only had 2 GB ram (%94 always full with services and stuff) and 1 core. The experience was not very...convincing. I have yet to test it with my new server though.

Hey! I never used Adguard, and I mainly installed technitium to have a private and secure dns-over-https and dns-over-tls server. The blocking is also quite good, it has predefined lists (labeled like "gambling", "scamming", "porn", "ads"..etc. ) that you can select. It also allows to use custom lists. The overall UI is also nice and has good UX.
