Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I’m particolary interested in opinions of people who used both

Thanks in advance!

    Probably stupid question: let’s say I selfhost searxng only for myself: google & Co can track all my searches, but doesn’t they pair all the data to the IP of my server? And because of this, they will not be able to show personalized ads to me, using my laptop. Is this wrong?

        And what if the server has a static IP address?

            How is this possible? I mean, how can they connect the searches from the ip of the server with your laptop’s ip?

              They only see your public IP address (ie your router), so all devices on the private side will appear to be the same source.

              So, if your laptop and your server (and anyone else at the same location) are connected to the internet via the same router, then, you’re the same source.
