Instead of searx it now runs searxng. +The differences between the two are listed here - https://github.com/searxng/searxng#differences-to-searx. + +The domain stays the same - https://searx.techsaviours.org. +Basically everything is left on default settings. Except that it generally runs on dark theme and a bit of branding was added. + +# Wiki +The wiki is almost finished. Wireguard will be added soon to complete the wiki. So that also your server/s at home will be reachable from everywhere. +The wiki can be seen as a kind of basic. But there is so much more you can do for your privacy but it depends on your own use. +I personally use a few cameras in my house. This brings up a few questions: +- what kind of devices are needed for that +- what software +- blocking the propriety devices via firewall & AdGuardHome +- ... + +Sooner or later there will be various open source software that can extend your privacy. In this case, Home Assistant, Frigate, ... would be a good extension for the Wiki. + +Also a Linux section for "Phone" should come. The well known PinePhone (Pro) was used by me last year for about 10 months as a daily driver. It is great and I wish the battery lasts at least one day. For me the available apps are enough but the phone and especially the battery was not worth to use it further. + +The keyboard gave me another 6000mah of battery. It was just enough for one day ... very annoying having the brick in a pocket ... The quality of calls is also not that great. Often people asked what I had said at all. +Nevertheless, I see great potential in Linux for mobile devices. Also the new pinetab2, looks very promising. +Long talk... this will also be added to the wiki. + +# Matrix +There will be some downtime in the near future. Since the retention has been on hold since the end of last year (https://techsaviours.org/news/en/whats-been-going-on-lately-new-server-matrix#matrix), manual intervention will take place. So at least the top 15 rooms will be a bit purged: +``` + canonical_alias | room_id | num_rows +--------------------------------+------------------------------------+---------- + #space:midov.pl | !bFbQyriMFLThCXRMyE:midov.pl | 35317776 + #fedora:fedoraproject.org | !zAeWUNBoXONgkVtgqn:mozilla.org | 10049292 + #grapheneos:grapheneos.org | !UVEsOAdphEMYhxzTah:grapheneos.org | 6392182 + #raspberrypi:matrix.org | !wOlkWNmgkAZFxbTaqj:matrix.org | 5684690 + #blackarch:matrix.org | !cNwjdQwVpRMsIMkUpx:matrix.org | 4123174 + #archlinux:archlinux.org | !GtIfdsfQtQIgbQSxwJ:archlinux.org | 3130399 + #offtopic:grapheneos.org | !tgbPIxPlvGiwpsGJuu:matrix.org | 2953462 + #grapheneos-old:grapheneos.org | !SayHlEYXdrpSerhLMC:matrix.org | 2918382 + #community:grapheneos.org | !lAoVmVifHHtoeOAmHO:grapheneos.org | 2777457 + #ipfs-chatter:ipfs.io | !gWiVYCURkxIapWZaGy:ipfs.io | 2272075 + #fdroid:f-droid.org | !hbPGQxyHEvFEncGQxE:f-droid.org | 1471245 + #CalyxOS:matrix.org | !aPqEsAdWuysydZNCic:matrix.org | 1217819 + #users:ansible.com | !czpAhMQgXXiRMvhOef:libera.chat | 1212796 + #Nextcloud:matrix.org | !TEwfEWdDwdaFazXmwD:matrix.org | 915336 + #ubuntu:matrix.org | !uGTCmJuKfnAYNPNsZz:matrix.org | 814721 +``` +The database size (70GB) is still moderate but better too early than too late. + +Also, all users who have not logged in for more than a year will be deleted.
