Nice! And yeah wholly hell that's a lot of box! Tonne of headroom. Any fancy future projects? Going to spin up home assistant and head down that rabbit hole?

How you finding running your own searXNG?? I been thinking I should give it a crack, but I'm lazy lol

I've actually got a HA Pi which I setup and then promptly forgot about. Not actually sure where I've left it tbh. Looks like its still responding so I guess its still working wherever it is.

SearXNG is handy for looking for things like service manuals for units because it doesn't bubble you like Google does. The results tend to be more relevant for technical queries where I'm not trying to buy anything. You can give it a whirl:

https://search.seedbit.ch/

The "Preferences" settings are all stored locally (to you) so you can try adding or removing different search engines until you get results that are consistently relevant. The "Response Time" drop down on the right hand side of search results shows which engines responded. DDG has a habit of showing parsing errors so I tend to disable it. Pretty sure its just Bing anyway.
