SearX is deprecated whereas SearXNG however, is its successor.

SearXNG is not a search engine but an aggregator, it’ll utilize whatever search engines it’s configured with to output results.

While I appreciate where you’re coming from, even if the government let us keep our firearms I will reiterate. These are not weapons of warfare, hell even NATO rejected sending these firearms to Ukraine, so that tells a lot.

Unfortunately the Americans would cook us as we’re at a huge disadvantage. If our magazines weren’t pinned to 5-10 rounds and our firearms offered select-fire then I would argue and say we have a chance against a full-on invasion but alas our government wants to make it as easy as possible for our opponents.

Pretty sure Bibliogram was inspired by Nitter before it became deprecated. Hope to see this flourish.

The gist:

• Compensation is not guaranteed. Budgeted $248.6 million for 136,000 firearms which is only enough to cover the cost all previous AR-15 style Restricted Firearms and roughly ~15k previous Non-Restricted firearms.
• The declaration portion of the program is set to start Monday, January 19th to March 31st with letters/emails sent to PAL holders.
• Not once mentioned the NS shooting in 2020 which sparked this program but instead kept bringing up Polytechnic which occurred 30 years ago.
• Gary cannot pronounce Ruger.
• Assured we would be labelled as criminals if we choose to not participate in this “voluntary” program.

This poor CBC reporter does not seem to understand that Assault Rifles have been banned in Canada since the 70’s. Why else would these firearms be on the market.

So you’re telling me SIGTERM doesn’t actually send a hit squad to my house to assassinate the program? Lame.

Genuinely can you link the previous discussion?

May use an iPhone but definitely use a Linux desktop.

@CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works please follow this persons advice! If you believe they’re a threat to an individuals safety do all licensed firearms owners a favour and report them to your local CFO (Chief Firearms Officer).

Otherwise the unspeakable may occur and all law-abiding licensed firearms owners will all be treated like criminals once again.

As the great Linus Torvald said:

It’s why I strongly want this to be that “just a tool”.

The problem I’ve seen is the lack of knowledge retention when AI feeds you stuff, buddy wouldn’t even bother to read nor memorize what it’s telling him and just copy-paste commands thinking it’ll fix whatever obscure issue he is encountering.

I’ve been using Debian for the last ~3ish years now relying on documentation from others so I’ve seen how fragile it can get.

Slightly off topic, buddy of mine decided to switch to Debian and A.i his way through everything, waiting for the day his system fails to boot because of some obscure command it tells him to run.

This comment here reminded me that I actually have cash in my wallet. Thank you!

i agree with this to some extent, the Restricted class of firearms is currently pointless, there are no restricted firearms on the market right now because they have all been prohibited.

I would argue and say they should fix the Restricted category before introducing another one or incorporate your idea into it.

I’m really starting to doubt Canada’s gun laws and their impact on gun elated crimes.

Regulations work, there is no doubt about that otherwise we would be looking a whole lot like the US right now.

I’m thinking maybe Canadians with guns might not be such a bad idea.

There are 2.3 Million of us! if you’re Canadian and never seen, heard, held or shot a firearm I highly suggest trying it once at a local firing range where you can be shown safe handling.

Something worth noting -

Since 2020 Ottawa has banned some 2,500 types of firearms. The government has argued the makes and models on its list are for warfare — not hunters and sport shooters.

If these are weapons of warfare then why aren’t we sending the CAF into battle with .22Lr semiautomatic rifles with magazines pinned to 10 rounds?

For those not familiar with the different types of firearm calibers see the image below, essentially a .22Lr is for plinking pop cans and teaching beginners on how firearms operate safely, no sane person will say a .22Lr is meant for warfare.

Anandasangaree maintained the pilot wasn’t about “quantitative” results.

Isn’t this the whole point of the program? To get “guns off our streets”?

Installed Dolphin on my work desktop which runs Win11, definitely not meant for Windows as certain functions like searching or dragging and dropping don’t work, at least it’s 1 step close to making windows slightly more bearable.

Apologies, I am going to assume this is a topic you’re not very well familiar with. This whole entire program is for Quebec, more specifically pushed by PolySeSouvient claiming all licensed firearm owners are the problem for the rise in gun related crime, not the firearms that are illegally sourced, yet 9 times out of 10 crime involving firearms involved illegal firearms.

Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Ontario (essentially) and the Yukon have all rejected the program knowing there is no public safety benefit.

The streets? They’re in people’s safes and gun cabinets until this situation is sorted. It’s been 5 years now, hundreds of thousands of legally purchased guns they intend to confiscate with little support from the provinces.

Yup, it works 90% of the time. Happens on all devices so I suspect Searx is just running into an error of some sort. Too lazy to investigate.

I host my own SearXNG via docker compose, reverse proxied it via Traefik, added a few security headers, restricted access to my country to help prevent abuse.

Use it daily, the only complaint I really have is it occasionally doesn’t search when you type in the address bar of a browser. What I mean is I’ll type a search query and instead of redirecting to the query (searx.yourdomain.tld/search?q=test) it’ll just redirect to the homepage of my SearXNG instance (searx.yourdomain.tld) forcing me to retype my query. Annoying but not the end of the world.
