What is it with open source projects and their awful names?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it always has to be something that sounds like it was thought up tiredly at 4am by the college freshman who coded it.

Or like something that got typed by that same college freshman by falling asleep and hitting their head on the keyboard.

we launched Mwmbl, the open source, non-profit search engine, on Boxing Day 2021

Oh and it's nonamerican too? Definitely going to try this out.

This should be fed to YaCY.

Does the actual search engine load for anyone else? It's telling me "We're sorry, but something went wrong".

Maybe it's the first ever Lemmy hug of death.

This blog post is from December 23, 2023. It looks like there was only one newer blog post, from November 2024.

Please remove the '!important' statements in your CSS, it makes the site unusable for me.

An update from November 2024 on the linked site indicates they have indexed 500 million pages. Thank you for sharing, but I would appreciate it if you could verify the information and avoid making assumptions based on misinterpretations.

This is effectively yacy with voting no?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

dont think so, i think yacy is more decentral where each user hosts that locally. this one is on the server.
