      I know that there have been blog post about setting up an htpc using uuntu as the os.

      The Australia section is automatically on as it detect where I am. I expect that where I search for things, it prioritises results from Australia. For example if I am look at tax information, Latvia’s taxation law will not help me.

      Also, thanks for 10ft gnome. That looks helpful. I’m hoping that my new tv will be able to install jellyfish clients

    SEO is a cancer

    If you add “-best -awesome” or search on google you can get some real results, but I usually avoid google. You can also try searxng

      Do these marks (- for exclusion, + for mandatory) still work on search engines? I thought they stopped entertaining them years ago, exactly because they don’t want the user to mess with SEO results. I know from personal experience that double quotes (to search for an exact expression) are ignored.

        Not on Google. They work on kagi and I assume they do on DDG/searx etc

        Ive found it to be inconsistent; used to not work on ddg /bing but worked today for me. Used to work on google but less so nowadays

          Startpage constantly bot flagged me, even just doing normal searches. Just a shitty detector on that one.

    I don’t think I’m understanding the problem. What are you trying to find? These are the exact results I’d expect to see with that query

      Individual blog posts, actual articals, how to’s etc. but they are all LLM generated same shit

    Unpopular opinion incoming: as much as i hate it… LLM is better than search engines for finding information. It’s not always correct but neither are web results.

      It is more that these web pages are probably all LLM written, and so they poison the search results. Not so much LLM search results/helpers at the top of a results page.

        That could be part of the issue. I recently had an issue with my raid setup through mdadm on Linux and couldn’t figure out how to restore it. Forums didn’t help and none of the commands I tried got the raid to go back together. I queried GPT and had it rebuilding within 10 min.

        For anyone wondering, the trick was to force a rebuild and assume clean one of the drives then add my mirror for it to rebuild/copy.

      Except that you probably have no idea when the LLM was trained, so its information can become outdated rather quickly.
