Hi everyone,
I’m choosing a default search engine and I’m torn between DuckDuckGo and Brave Search. What matters most to me:
Privacy: what’s actually logged, and can the claims be trusted? Independence from Big Tech: DDG partly relies on Bing, while Brave has its own index. Result quality: relevance for daily, technical and niche queries. Trust: track record, controversies, business model.
Which one do you use daily, and why? Have you noticed a real quality difference? Thanks!


Yep, highly recommend it. Its easy to setup, especially if you already know a little about self-hosting.
What should someone who has got 0 idea of how to even start self hosting, start with?
I just looked up YouTube videos on using docker compose when I started. Also https://trash-guides.info/ has some great information. Services you want to use like Jellyfin for example has documents and good information for setting it up. I use docker compose so I would start with their website.
