Looking to build a new htpc. This is all that ever comes up.

  Don’t understand this.

  There isn’t an htpc mode on ubuntu, and you’re restricting results from australia. It seems normal that the results are irrelevant.

  Maybe you’re searching for this, to install over vanilla ubuntu: github.com/dudewheresmycode/TenFootGnome

    I know that there have been blog post about setting up an htpc using uuntu as the os.

    The Australia section is automatically on as it detect where I am. I expect that where I search for things, it prioritises results from Australia. For example if I am look at tax information, Latvia’s taxation law will not help me.

    Also, thanks for 10ft gnome. That looks helpful. I’m hoping that my new tv will be able to install jellyfish clients

  SEO is a cancer

  If you add “-best -awesome” or search on google you can get some real results, but I usually avoid google. You can also try searxng

    Do these marks (- for exclusion, + for mandatory) still work on search engines? I thought they stopped entertaining them years ago, exactly because they don’t want the user to mess with SEO results. I know from personal experience that double quotes (to search for an exact expression) are ignored.

      Not on Google. They work on kagi and I assume they do on DDG/searx etc

      Ive found it to be inconsistent; used to not work on ddg /bing but worked today for me. Used to work on google but less so nowadays

      Double quotes just get me flagged as a bot every single time on Startpage.

  I don’t think I’m understanding the problem. What are you trying to find? These are the exact results I’d expect to see with that query

    Individual blog posts, actual articals, how to’s etc. but they are all LLM generated same shit

  Not sure what your hardware looks like but I set up a degoogled RPI running on linageos 22. Been running solid for about 6 months now. Definitely not a beginner project, took me a bit of work to get it up and running but hasn’t failed me yet!

  Unpopular opinion incoming: as much as i hate it… LLM is better than search engines for finding information. It’s not always correct but neither are web results.

  source

  • palitu@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It is more that these web pages are probably all LLM written, and so they poison the search results. Not so much LLM search results/helpers at the top of a results page.

      That could be part of the issue. I recently had an issue with my raid setup through mdadm on Linux and couldn’t figure out how to restore it. Forums didn’t help and none of the commands I tried got the raid to go back together. I queried GPT and had it rebuilding within 10 min.

      For anyone wondering, the trick was to force a rebuild and assume clean one of the drives then add my mirror for it to rebuild/copy.

    Except that you probably have no idea when the LLM was trained, so its information can become outdated rather quickly.

      Correct, worked great for my needed Linux commands though
