There are hosted versions you can just use without installing at home.

I’m using SEARXNG. It’s a search engine aggrigate and you can mix and match where you want your results to come from. It’s like using Google from a decade ago.

Here’s the thing, you own the domain, set up what ever email alias you want and send it to your primary.

So the way I read it, if you want to opt in, you make the new changes they state in your yml. I didn’t and just hit upgrade to pull the new images and it worked fine. I don’t see any issues, but I’ll be glad if someone says I did it wrong.

I think it’s only breaking if you pull the new yml and don’t move your data.

Not a recommendation per se, but if you like to ugly cry watch “Dear Evan Hanson”

Drain wasn’t terrible for me, and live location is miles better than maps. But yeah, ditched because of thier bad rep.

Yup, just switched to this. It’s not quite as live as I was used to with life360, but it works for what we need.

My wife and I share our locations with each other and I also have my elderly inlaws configured as well. Never hurts to be safe!

Doesn’t that require other IPhones for it to ping off of and report? What if she’s in the middle of nowhere. I’m not sure why this is getting upvotes but it seems like a terrible idea and unreliable.

Sadly doesn’t appear to be usable for SMS by Google Fi users who have web sync enabled. Guess I’ll be holding off.

Thanks for this, switched from Weather Underground

Yes, all that pollen.

My nose and throat can feel this picture.

You’ve won! Thank you for changing my mind.

Just use the classic control panel if that’s the case. It’s still there. You’d probably still recognize parts of it from Windows 3.1.1.

Hey, no skin off my back and you don’t know me from Adam. Could be lying for all you know.

Some of these changes may not stick, but UI / UX is always evolving to the next thing. You have to try things to know if they are successful. I’ll use the new Apple Vision Pro as a example. Apple is taking a gamble here and this is a HUGE change in UI interactions, can you imagine if they never evolved past the old iPod scroll wheel? (maybe a bad example becuaee that was a great tactile user experience). But my point is people have evolved how they use technology, it’s “generally” more reliable and the under the hood stuff can be tucked away for the general user.

So I don’t want this to come off as rude, but if you are using the pro version with proper workstation controls all of this is controllable. I work as a L5 engineer for the world’s largest outsourcing IT provider and we don’t have a single customer (from ITAR, HIPAA, Financial, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical etc) that has been unable to move because of compliance. Some take longer to harden and move but it’s 100% possible. MS knows their audience in this space and wouldn’t release and OS that wasn’t possible to comply. (for the MOST part, obviously things like EU antitrust has made them change some things in the past).

Self hosted searxng is where it’s at. Seriously love it and have replaced my search engines on all my computers and phone.

I use this along with Vivaldi browser that will let me switch engines quickly with “search shortcuts” for those few times I need local Google results.
