Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I’m particolary interested in opinions of people who used both

Thanks in advance!

      you’re right, thanks for posting it yourself! I’m a newbie in the selfhosting world, so I thought that LibreY was “famous”, but I was wrong!

        Never assume anyone ever knows what you’re talking about. It may seem like you’re talking to people here who know more than you, but everyone has a different bucket of knowledge.

        Self-hosting, by it’s nature of using a lot of OSS, means there’s a LOT of discovery here.

        You’re effectively addressing the entire world here - you never know who is here for the first time.

        This is college level writing 101 stuff - the first time you mention something, you footnote a reference. Today that equivalent is a link.

        I try to always link to things we’re talking about, except for really big stuff (I’m not linking to Google.com, but maybe to a specific app or feature somewhere within Google).
