archivebox is a very useful tool to keep receipts

you give it a URL and it makes a snapshot: two HTMLs, WARC file, PDF, full page screenshot, then sends it to archive.org to be 100% sure. It's too easy to fake a screenshot, but this is a compelling pile of evidence.

it's not for a regular user, though: piping URLs to console commands isn't a common knowledge. But I hope someone will make a service or something.

@rysiek pleroma has a how-to: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/wikis/Easy%20Onion%20Federation%20(Tor)

@tootbrute searx already can use yacy results

but the yacy peer has to be on the same location

If you want to really de-googlify The Net, decentralized search engine should be the first step: http://yacy.net/

The sad thing is, YaCy's stuck in a spiral. It's not very usable as a everyday search because there's not enough peers and they can't index The Whole Internet, so people go away, the search has less peers, indexes less sites…

There is one use case where you add your favorite sites and get a truly personalized search, but again, one computer can't index the whole net.

Michael A. Stackpole is opening a new e-zine: https://www.patreon.com/michaelastackpole

Promises "eighteen months worth of unpublished material". It's too early to say if the novels are good (the first chapters are slow-going), but I subscribed.
