I use a self-hosted combo of Hister (search engine with local index, you can get a browser extension to add pages you visit to the index so it basically searches your own browser history, it also bas a web crawler for building up your local index) and SearXNG (meta-search engine, it basically searches multiple normal search engines in the background, and you can route those searches through tor or a rotating list of proxies for increased privacy)

Setting up SearXNG is on my to-do list

Highly recommend it. Only took like 5 minutes to set up, just install it, enable the systemd service (or equivalent, I’ve only run it on arch, but I assume there’s at least an openrc service as well), and then set which engines you want it to pull from in the config (and optionally configure search proxies)

What hardware do you use?

That really doesn’t sound easy to set up. That sounds like you said a bunch of things I will have to look up.
