random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google

I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.

also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo

also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)

Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…

Search Engines

Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy

DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)

WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.

Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.

Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.

Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines.

Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted.

Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy.

Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.

Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden.

MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.

Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching.

Oscobo is a search engine that protects your privacy while you search the web. By not using any third-party tools or scripts, your data is protected from hacking and misuse. Has a Chrome extension to allow use in toolbar.

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results.

https://www.mojeek.com/

https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites.

https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.

https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.

https://yep.com/ is a crawler

https://www.etools.ch/ retrieves from Google, Mojeek, Bing, and Yandex, like Searx

https://www.dogpile.com/

https://searxng.org/ (next gen Searx)

https://kagi.com/smallweb - free/randomised Kagi.

'Lazy girl jobs' are often described as perfect and the ultimate goal of job search, but nobody seems to talk about, how a job, that is too easy and leaves too much free time within the working hours, can also be destructive for your mental health. I had a job, that could be called a 'lazy girl job' at the beginnig of my career. It was my first job after college (apart from the internship). It's not like I even wanted that kind of job, actually there was another job position on this company, that I considered my 'dream job' and hoped to get it later through internal recruitment. I don't want to disclose too many details about it here, but this 'lazy' job basically consisted mostly of sending e-mails and messages in some websites, and also a lot of Excel data entry, for example, to predict the power demand in the power transmission system, which, as serious as it sounds, was actually very easy, because it only required data input and the rest was done automatically. Most of these things had to be done at specific time, mostly in the morning, and within the rest of the day, plenty of free time was left. By plenty of time I mean literal hours of doing nothing, hours which I could use to do whatever I wanted: read books, watch YouTube videos, learn something, or just talk with my coworkers and drink tea. At the beginnig, I tried to do something useful in this time, but over time, as I tried to get this other job I wanted and failed, as I spent hours every day not knowing what to do, and even these tasks I had to do were way below my level of knowledge, skills and ambition, I eventually stopped even trying. Not only didn't I learn anything new and gain any experience, I realised after some time, that I even started forgetting what I used to know before, what I had learned in college and during the internship. The lack of progress and actually feeling like I was going backwards, combined with failure to get my 'dream job' and these long hours, when nothing really happened and nothing was to do, made me feel more and more frustrated and burnt out. Someone may ask, why didn't I use this free time to learn something interesting and useful, for example about electronics? Trust me, I tried, but at some point I wasn't even able to concentrate on anything anymore and didn't even feel competent enough and smart enough to do this. I felt like I was stupid and knew nothing. I know, many people would say 'your job doesn't define you', but being an engineer is an important part of my personal identity, and it does define me as a person, no matter, what anyone else says (which is something many engineers experience, I'm not an exception here). At this point I didn't even think I was suitable for being an engineer at all. I felt like an absolute failure, not only a failure at work, but failure as a human, not good enough for anything. I eventually left that company and got a new job, which was more challenging, compared to the previous one. I designed inverter and rectifier systems. Then I got bored with that, too, and found a new job again, this time in gas turbines industry and that's where I'm now and finally feel like this is where I'm supposed to be. I know, my example is quite specific, but the moral of the story is: 'lazy girl jobs' aren't the ultimate goal for everyone and while the idea of an easy but well-paid job can sound attractive, the reality of it may leave you frustrated, bored, burnt out and depressed.

Level Up Pyramid.

I will never stop yapping about how important it is to get your basics right. If your base routine is not solid, no matter what you add on to it, it will never be sustainable.

most of us get motivated in the middle of the night, build an elaborate routine that we’ll follow for less than 2 days and we’re back to square one.

I get so many asks about girls getting stressed over their routine and how they should solve the issue. If your routine is stressing you out, you need to cut. It. Down.

this is a pyramid that will teach you to get the basics down and in what order.

if your foundation is strong, your base routine will be an unshakeable of your life. if it is an unshakeable part of your life, you will slowly but surely get better at those things. as you get better at those things, your confidence will increase. as your confidence increases, you will be ready and motivated to take on more challenges.
