Well it would disrupt lives. For a month. Then alternatives would pop up and the life of EU would just continue. The reason for using google is that they have monopoly. If they would remove themself from equation, it would mean making space

There is no an easy answer. The free market in case of todays "survaillance capitalism" doesnt exist and even worse, the price is very hard to find or define. With money it was simple, the product costs X, it offers me those featu

Exactly. Anyway, my home server is having 6Tb redundant storage (3xToshiba 3Tb) and 10Tb Hitachi drive, non redundant. What would the cost of SSDs be? Over $1000 not to mention the controlle 4 SATA port vs 19+ port controller is a huge diff

By far the worst thing are android phone applications (not only FB official app). They have their spyware bundled and can slurp from you the data which are normally unaccessible by web browser, from phone number, imei, mail addresses to all

Same with me. I just figured out at some point, 10 years ago, that it is nice to have snapshots on root disk. And figured out FreeBSD is supporting ZFS. Tryed it, loved it, used it. The ZFS on linux was destabilized in latest versions (`ls

Offtopic: I am using entry page that brute forces password for accessing other pages. It takes a 30 seconds max on phone, but will raise cpu to 100%. Later it is stored to cookie. I havent seen any crawler get past that.

The search engine has no way of executing any script on you side, 5 people times 2 for two devices per person on my instance means you cant distinct them. Tens of users on other side of vpn, doesnt allow you to distinct on ip and none of us

You got point in your scenario it is just convinient (it still prevents fingerprinting) In mine it mixes 5 people search, is using proxy that goes over vpn to shared ip on other side of europe. And it agregates results, sorts them by result
