PriEco now supports donations! Supported are credit/debit card payments, PayPal, BTC, ETH, SOL and XMR I'd really appreciate your donations #donate #opensource #independent #crypto #donate #opensource #independent

Google has 5 pillars for a good web search: Meaning; Relevance; Quality; Usability; Context (Meaning): I'm adding a logic to categorize user intention during a query #opensource #index #private #eco #search #opensource #index #private #eco

http://PriEco.net is now much faster and supports languages much better for better relevance #opensource #private #eco #search #opensource #private #eco

I so hate working with a #GPU #GPU

I've published PriEco Roadmap: https://prieco.net/roadmap Check out what are the future plans with http://PriEco.net, vote on them and suggest new ones #opensource #private #eco #search #opensource #private #eco

I'm so sorry for slow PriEco. It's absolutely unacceptable. Fixing it now!

PriEco is getting a spell checker #opensource #privacy #eco #search #opensource #privacy #eco

I'm so sorry for slow PriEco. The whole day it's doing compression. I had to already do it

Nice. I do move slow, but I do try to go as fast as possible. I do put high emphasis on quality. Moving to the next stage is guided by my intuition, and it's telling me crawling is basically done. It's 99% done, and I should move on and let it finish Starting RANKING

It would be nice to have some search results quality measurement to know if PriEco answered user query Do you know a good way PriEco could do that?

PriEco has been added to uruky.com Uruky is an EU Kagi alternative, read more at theprivacydad.com/interview-wi... or give it a try at uruky.com (You don't need to sign up, just do a search and fill captcha And don't forget to set PriEco as your top provider

Would you like me to add something to PriEco?

Le moteur de recherche @prieco.bsky.social a intégré nos cartes dans son interface, en version 1. En quelques heures, il a donc ajouté l'onglet cartes sophistiqué qui fait défaut à @ecosiasearch.bsky.social et @qwant.bsky.social. Collaborons pour une Europe numérique forte 💪

After a long time I opened Nostr. What!?!?!? Okaay, let's make PriEco so decentralized that Bitcoin will be ashamed

And I'm back on PriEco! I am now analyzing PriEco, so expect some downtimes My goal is to make PriEco really amazing in terms of result quality and do have a plan!

I can't believe how far I got PriEco I'm satisfied with the state of the current index, it isn't perfect, yet, but for that there is the next phase: crowdsourcing The goal is to curate the crawling process to the exact URLs PriEco users need

Would it be cool if PriEco ran on secureblue server?

I've hugely messed up PriEco needs fixing, BUT! after, it, it should become just so incredibly good

We're at 355.5M index size I hoped for more but not bad + 55.28M results a week with that slower crawler Now it's even so much faster

Most requested feature Working on it!

I've just increased PriEco Crawler speed 3-4 times It was already fast, now it's completely off the charts

Before, against #Google PriEco scored 0.0856 I implemented an evolutionary algorithm and got it to 0.1079 For reference on the same test: Brave Search Score: 0.5599 Mojeek Score: 0.2932 #Google

Have a new batch of 259.5GB of new results

I'm testing PriEco against other search engines Created a test (AI helped) on 50 queries. Some ez as youtube, apple... but most were hard questions Google (tested against): 1.0000 Brave Search Score: 0.5599 Mojeek Score: 0.2932 PriEco Score: 0.0856

Aaah, today I slept for 3.5h I barely see

Hard-coding an API key to open source PriEco was a bold move

Not bad. PriEco does 7-10M a day and Brave was already big 5y ago

PriEco just crossed 300M index size 🎉 I really hope your searches are getting better, and you find PriEco useful How is your experience? #index #private #eco #eu #search #index #private #eco #eu

PriEco reached 250M index size

We are coming close to 250M And I still have soooo many results still importing #private #index #search #private #index

I tried something but forgot to add to PriEco important code. The result is that now PriEco is unnecessarily slower. It will be automatically fixed pretty soon

New huge batches of results arrived to PriEco. During the upcoming days they will be imported to the index

What's holding back PriEco?

Would you find PriEco as a usable web search engine?

I've released my personal website https://roman.prieco.net/ It's still a big work in progress: too little content is there But I like the design

Thank youuuuu🫶

Added https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist to PriEco #crawler PriEco will no longer create results out of clearly #AI slop #websites Our fight against AI #slop doesn't end here, and we are figuring out better ways to handle them #crawler #AI #websites #slop

Index is growing. But totally, it's still small, especially compared to more established alternatives

100 people visited PriEco today!

I'm thinking to set in a rule to prevent PriEco from even indexing AI slop websites Wanted to have it just as a toggle filter, but they must be a waste of space, right? Just informing you for transparency. If you have something to say about it, I'd like to hear your opinion

I'm inserting and inserting and this number is barely growing I guess some deduplication is happening But still I am noticing result quality improvement

Would you say I have a sense of #design? #design

Designing a personal #website #website

I want to improve your PriEco experience as much as possible

I am now working on something that enhances user #privacy with PriEco as I finally found mental space for it. To my disappointment the task a bit more complex and I feel tired. Going to get through it tho #privacy

#ChatGPT loves goblins Don't hate it, let the child play #ChatGPT

Does it ever happen to you too, that you find some #files on your #disk, look through them, assume they are junk, #delete some, then you realize what it was, and you feel like an idiot? #files #disk #delete

You may know that PriEco uses #Cloudflare It's an excellent tool that blocks 320k #bot #IPs and 117M requests a month for PriEco-vise it is also a solid option, but not the greatest. Would you have any recommendations for me on how to manage the bot traffic? #Cloudflare #bot #IPs #Privacy

Just realized how many ideas I have noted for PriEco Maybe should make a roadmap with them That by itself would check 1 of the to-do points
