Ways to improve #YaCy a little bit.

1. Top hacks for the YaCy open source search engine
  
  from Opensource.com
  
  In my article about getting started with YaCy, I explained how to install and start using the YaCy peer-to-peer search engine. One of the most exciting things about YaCy, however, is the fact that it's a local client. Each user owns and operates a node in a globally distributed search engine infrastructure, which means each user is in full control of how they navigate and experience the World Wide Web.

Not a general search engine, and no public instance provided, but “MeiliSearch”:{https://www.meilisearch.com/} say they are an open source self-hostable search API.

I don’t think you’d use it as a general search engine, but more as something integrated into your site. So “Dog Buddy Magazine Online” might use MeiliSearch to let visitors seek out articles by breed, puppy or adult, and other factors relevant to the sites readers.

License: MIT. See https://blog.meilisearch.com/oss-paradigm/
Paid plan: I haven’t seen it, but I just discovered the software and site a few minutes ago; maybe they’re charging for support.

Anyway, it is interesting. They seem to compete partly with “ElasticSearch”:{https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/} (and maybe a little bit with #YaCy’s stand-alone mode).

  from Meilisearch
  
  You may have seen the Elastic announcement about upcoming changes to the Elasticsearch and Kibana product licenses. Without going into too many details about the implications of those changes, suffice it to say that it raised concerns within the developer ecosystem. We understand why it might be worrying to some,

Oh, weird. The site for the #Darcs #DVCS / #SCM software is now blank.

I can only assume an attacker defaced the site and they just relaunched it, as there is not even a front page created yet (it is a wiki).

While I was on my walk, I saw a kid on a bike who reminded me of Charlie from the old neighborhood. So I threw Charlie’s full name into #DuckDuckGo and #Google and followed some links to see whether he left any tracks. So neither search produced the sort of results which used to be routine just a few years ago.

First of all, any time you do this, the top half of results are the “search for anyone and we’ll find them … for a fee” sites. If you go to those sites and throw in first-middle-last name and age, you usually get hundreds of results, but that’s because they are not filtered … there will people from 18 to 80, people who only share one of the names in your search, people who have or had relationships with a person with the name, and people who have aliases close to the name in question.

Next are “close, but no cigar” results: Similar names. Mug shots sites.*

Only then will you see any interesting results.

I haven’t been in contact with Charlie since we were both less than half our current ages. I am pretty sure I saw him walking across a store’s parking lot in the 1990s, but no contact was made. Nor was contact the object of my search. A good chunk of the people I once knew have passed on, so I really just wanted to see whether he was still among the living and to have a general idea where he might be.

* In the past, I did find out about both Steve and Jay because of a mug shots site. Steve is presumably still behind bars in another state. Jay served a year or so and was released.

I wish phones had a "PACO" mode. (Pre Approved Callers Only)

That would be easier than blocking every number in Louisiana.

I told #sonTwo I'd get a Roku and / or Chromecast for them. Today, a month later, someone online was comparing a Roku with a Fire Stick and I remembered.

@geniusmusing One thing I have come across a couple of times is that the vaccines are not expected to completely prevent infections, but instead to reduce the severity thereof. Thus, you may become infected (and maybe even pass the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus to others) despite having taken your shots.

I recently skipped a friend’s wedding reception despite being vaccinated. The reason was because there were some required tasks at work that day, but afterward, I learned that people were maskless and close together (and I only knew a few of the people). I would have been even more uncomfortable than I already am in those situations.

#sonTwo: I think the reason the #Dodgers won the World Series last year is because the shortened season helped them avoid their traditional midseason slump.

I think it is rather amazing how the team was known for streaks of wins and losses when I watched them as a child and they are still known for it when we’re “teaching my grandson right” by watching baseball games with #GS3. There must be a consistent management pattern which encourages this.

"OSIRIS-REx" has "Security" as its final 'S'. Obviously a backronym, as any civilization advanced enough to travel from one solar system to another (and even more if travelling between galaxies) would be able to surpass our pitiful definitions of security with similar ease to the Spaniards conquest of the Aztec, Maya, and Inca empires.

I changed my username on ‘Wickr Me’ from ‘lnxw37’ to ‘lnxw37b’.

Reason: I wanted to add the account to a second device, but could not recall the password. Naturally, the unpaid ‘Me’ service does not offer any way to reset passwords (but I’m pretty sure the paid ‘Pro’ service will have said functionality).

I have not ever actually used the service (I have no contacts), but if I ever do get the chance, I’ll try it out.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft 🚀 is heading back to earth with about 60g (a little over 2.1 oz) of asteroid material for researchers to study. It should arrive in September of 2023.
