I created a marisa.cr library and wanted to share it around.

usage: ``require "marisa"

trie = Marisa::Trie.new trie.add("snow") trie.add("snow cone") trie << "ice cream" # same as add ``

Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Yeah that's the idea. Let people build their own lists and share them.

Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites? (self.selfhosted)
 

For context I created a video search engine last year, I shut it down and put the data online. You can read about it here: https://www.bendangelo.me/2024/07/16/failed-attempt-at-creating-a-video-search-engine/

I put that project on hold because of scaling issues, anyway I'm back with an other idea. I've been frustrated with how AI slop is ruining the internet and recently it's been hitting Youitube pretty hard with AI videos. I’m brainstorming a tool for people to selfhost:

Self-hosted crawler: Pick which sites/videos to index (blogs, forums, YT channels, etc.). AI chat interface: Ask questions like, “Show me Rust tutorials from 2023” or “Summarize recent posts about homelab backups.” Optional sharing: Pool indexes with trusted friends/communities.

Why? No Google/YouTube spam—only content you choose. Works offline (archive forums, videos, docs). Local AI (Mistral) or cloud (paid) for smarter searches.

Would this be useful to you? What sites would you crawl? Any killer features I’m missing?

Prototype in progress—just testing interest!

Yeah, it just works and you never have to use the command line.

I would say Ubuntu is the next best distro (if you want stability and easy of use)

How likely you believe that Fediverse could accomodate EU citizens if US big tech leave the EU? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] lautan 3 points 3 weeks ago

Totally agree. A lot of negative people here that will push away the average person. I’m talking about political fanatics of course. Maybe some subs need to create a no politics rule.

Mint is the best flavor of linux. I recommend it.

The best thing you can do for the fediverse is just be kind in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

A big problem is too much politics, feels like politics is always brought up even in posts where it's not the topic of discussion. Just look at this post. Then if someone disagrees with your view they'll attack you and then they'll claim they "are on the right side". People have forgotten the golden rule.

Usually the admins will undo the delete, so it's probably not worth using.

GUI Programming Recommendations in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] lautan 1 points 3 weeks ago

Flutter apps are good but from the UI perspective have their own limitations, you essentially rely on premade UI components and if they don’t support a method you need you’re stuck. And I’ve seen some flutters behave weird. I would build a prototype before committing to it.
