Just another person livin' another life
What do you think of the Kagi search engine that I have been hearing so much about lately? It bothers me that we are at a point that people are willing to pay 10$ per month just for a good meta search engine. What bothers me more is that people don't shill good searxng instances that do the same thing but are hosted out of pocket by ulturistic every day hobbiest and not yet another company asking for yet another subscription while promising they are totally different from the other guys.

Power station came in today, finally get a chance to test out the 200w panels. I need to get an extension cord for them, currently they are at unoptimal placement so I can get the cable through the glamp port in tent into power station. Even so, im getting 70w which isn't bad! I imagine it will be even more when I can get them in a better placement. The station itself is really excellent. Everything about it screams quality. Im typically not a big fan of things that connect to your phone...

I finally bit the bullet and invested in some solar power for my off-grid home. The portable 200w panel just arrived. It was a lot heavier than I expected I guess thats a good thing feels really solid and durable. I wish it had a usb jack to charge my smaller power stations in the meantime while I wait on the real one to come in, oh well. Was also looking into the pi zero 2w type computers as a super energy efficent means for basic things like email checking and light text based web searching,...

For anyone here who uses SearXNG, I made a request to get YaCy added to list of indexable search engines, and they merged it in today! YaCy is an independent search engine based off unique peer-to-peer decentralized webcrawling technology. Anyone can download a YaCy instance to host locally and contribute to the collective engine. You can also use it to index local intranets.

An old friend hit me up after years of silence through text message around the exact same time I reopened my Facebook account in an attempt to reconnect with people from my past. Unrelated 'Coincidences' can be very on the nose at times. In other news, I finally saved 3k in the bank, the minimum emergency fund recommended for nomadic living. Ideally I would like 6k for a comfy Efund but its already comforting to know I have a little in the bank just in case. The difference between 17 yo me and...

Hit a 10 pound weight loss milestone today. Very happy! Doing lots of physical labor and eating right in moderation seems to be paying off. When I started really excercising I was a little discouraged since it seems I actually gained weight, but looking back I think an increase in muscle mass could counter balance weight lost through fat burn, so perhaps measuring my waist would be a more accurate way to see how im doing. Either way I am out of belt notches and my pants are super baggy so its...

hemp made stuff I think its important to be aware of the materials your stuff is made out of. Personally I have come to dispise how plastic is in literally everything especially clothing and bedding materials. Microplastic pollution seems like a somewhat serious issue to me and I would rather not be part of that particular problem. So, I have decided as a consumer to support hemp/natural fiber based products and try to cut plastic out of my life as much as possible. I genuinely believe in hemp...

I am slowly turning my van into a semi-livable space. Still trying to figure out if I want to trade some interior space for a regular single bed or settle for a smaller cot and my thermarest pad. Currently I have a single bed frame and the comparatively skinny thermarest on top which is... unoptimal lol. I recently got a big meditation pillow which is extremely comfortable and would work great on a cot so getting 2 more of them to form a bed is also a consideration. The next step will be...
