I really like the idea and that it's eu-made a love it. A fee things I see with kagi which are useful and improvements:
- Hire a UI/UX person NOW! My parents and gf like using google and kagi because are easy to use.
- add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap. My gf is thinking about moving away from kagi because of this.
- the quick ai response is extremely useful.
- Indexing websites is super important. People doesnt know where to put the content in a website or how to make accessible. Many times i use google due to this fact.
- Make a family subscription.
- make it funny, easy to use and welcoming. The branding is SUPER important.
Good luck and I really wish you to succeed! Im paying for an account ;)

Is there a way to build a search engine that doesn't involve either building or accessing a index somehow? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, is this for the website builders or for the users, who the "indexing of websites" is super important? The "people doesn't know" part sounds like it's for website authors, but the last part makes it sound like the context is search engine users.
I refer to the fact that many websites don't have a proper way to search the content inside the website. For instance, many goverment websites have terrible accessibility and the data seems ofuscated.
Google solves me to search content in those websites
Ok, so say they added their own website index then, how would that help with "People doesnt know where to put the content in a website or how to make accessible"?
I went into settings, excluded every provider, and enabled "include uruky site search", but it still says "Providers used: Mojeek", and every other search I try shows no mention of the uruky index
It’s too small right now, so we don’t allow you to search it exclusively, yet. Eventually it should become a “proper” search provider once it reaches 100M urls or so.
- Ouch. We get a lot of love for our UI/UX, which I guess just goes to show taste is personal. If you have any particular points of friction, we'd love to hear about them.
- Only Serper allows for this, so we're very hesitant. If other providers allowed it, we could definitely consider it.
- We won't have Generative AI, sorry.
- Could you clarify?
- Check out the interview I gave The Privacy Dad, I explain the problems for something like that.
This is a bug plus in my book, and it is, besides being Europe-based, the reason I've been donating to Vivaldi for the past 18 months. I signed up for Uruky just last week, but I sense I'll stick around for much longer. Please continue being awesome!
Seeing the point on UI/UX got me curious as well and from a brief look I don't quite see where it is coming from, but maybe they will expand on it. Regarding their point about relatives loving Google/Kagi for usability: If you don't already do that, I believe it can be pretty eye-opening to just place some "tech-illiterate" person in front of your product and check if/where they struggle. There were lots of situations where I saw people struggling with steps I stopped thinking about, just because I was more familiar with the software. And while I have nothing to do with UI/UX myself, I am pretty sure that kind of paper cut is what tends to block any kind of broad adoption.
Thanks! Your point is quite valid and we do that. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with most "tech-illiterate" people we have is that they don't understand why they should care about privacy or what's "wrong" with AI tools in the first place.
I got the point. But in this case, you have a fairly low pricing (5€), therefore i guess either you want a side project, a small business in a familiar kind or to go worldwide adoption. The last case, you have to take "tech illiterate" people really seriously.
- the landing page looks good to me, but not to my mother for example. A slight difference in color, placing or anything is like a huge problem for her.
- im sorry to hear thag. However this is being a deal breaker for my parents and gf :/ they use it A LOT!
- many websites have terrible content placing and search features. But im forced to use them. I use google to get to that content.
I think it all depends on what kind of customer they want to attract.
> Hire a UI/UX person NOW
I agree, the current site is too busy.
> add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap
Sounds like clutter to me
> the quick ai response is extremely useful.
Depends, I use Kagi because it doesn't have that (or it does, but allowed me to hide it, I don't remember anymore)
> make it funny, easy to use and welcoming
If I see another web site that "uh-oh!"s me the moment something doesn't work, I'm going to kill myself ;) The drive to be "funny" can very quickly turn into cringe-fest.
I use mistralai and their API is quite good. Luckily I like to pin the versions and upgrade manually a little bit later just in case of this kind of unfortunate events.
I have been using Typst for creating notes and it is an awesome tool. I use it to create notes on welding for my students. It makes my life so much easier compared to badsoft and its not-word-ing (you understand me).
Personally, i feel it is complicated because ISPs are highly afraid of trying it. I understand that such novel technology would be risky to use. But after 20+ years there are still many countries, like Spain, which are barely using it. After that much time has passed, it is already well battle-tested. At this point, you don't want to make the move either because you are too afraid of anything or you have commercial reasons.
I believe Telefonica has reasons to not use IPv6... Although in the long run is turning to be a bad decision. Look at digi :p
I think they are not afraid, they just see 0 reasons to
without IPv6: everything works already, your customers can access any website
with IPv6: ...what are the benifits to them? they still have to provide IPv4 to customers or do some ipv6 to ipv4 translation to make sure ipv4 websites still work
(I've never worked at an ISP so my opinion might be useless)
There are some reasons, which is why you do see IPv6 use increasing. IPv4 exhaustion means that almost all mobile (and in some countries landline) internet connections have to access the IPv4 internet through Carrier Grade NAT. ISPs have to buy the equipment to operate these and pay for their maintenance, and they have to do so in proportion to how much traffic is stuck on the IPv4 internet. At a certain point making the necessary investments to send more traffic over IPv6 end-to-end becomes a better bet than continuing to maintain a growing CGNAT stack.
The tough part is that while ISPs can largely control whether their mobile and residential users have IPv6 available they can’t really do so for their business users, let alone arbitrary website operators they have no relationship with. So the reality is that everyone is going to have to maintain both 4to6 and 6to4 basically forever. But as it becomes less common it’ll no longer need to be especially fast or efficient and the costs to operate it will come down.
> I think they are not afraid, they just see 0 reasons to
This is a big part of it. Apart from extra addresses, it offers remarkably little benefit in terms of networking features from an operational management perspective. It sounds like it should be better when you look at the features, but, in actual operation the features don't really offer that much.
Further, there's the general problem that for some reason the network equipment manufacturers seem to think that because you don't frequently need NAT that now you don't need to have a stateful firewall just always on by default on a network edge device.
Plus the general confusion among tech neophytes that NAT itself is offering actual security features, so that a stateful firewall is a downgrade. This is such a fundamental misunderstanding that you can't even communicate with a person that believes it to be the case. I fear that this confusion will remain with us for decades. I'm sure me even mentioning it will spawn a whole thread of people vehemently disagreeing, because there is always at least one.
This is coupled with the fact that the addresses are just ugly. Like, I'm sorry, but unless you're exactly an electrical engineer, the IPv6 addressing scheme is difficult to remember. IPv4 has the same problem -- the magic numbers are only easy to remember if you have memorized the binary values, too -- but it's really only a handful of things to remember in comparison. Hex values are just not as easy to read or remember compared to decimal numbers. So even though IPv6 isn't harder to use, it feels like it's much harder to use.
IT and telecom tend to have an ultra conservative if it’s not broke don’t fix it attitude. It won’t get deployed until enough customers ask for it or it’s required for something important.
Most v4 support is through a gateway. You can't tell the user's IP address from the wrong side of the gateway, for example - only the gateway's address. The user isn't on v4, the gateway is.
Yeah, so you still reach the user, it's just probably less efficient than the all-v6 route.
Edit: Oh, you mean if they want unsolicited inbound traffic? Sure, but that's only a thing for services. I mean you can have a default-allow firewall to home devices but really shouldn't.
Personally, myself I have been greatly impacted by this measures. Several services of mine were unavailable because LaLiga said so. No notification, no justification, they block and that's all. It has been a shame since the beginning.
(Disclaimer: I don't know the first word about law)
But I have been thinking about this quite a lot recently (mostly because I get angry at the power states sometimes have over individuals). Would the distinction really matter in this case?. I would think that in a "civil law" contry things could be even worse for the aggressor
It depends on the law in question. Civil law typically requires that the plaintiff's cause of action and desired remedy be defined in the relevant code or statute. This doesn't mean the average person is powerless; every civil code I know of will let you file a lawsuit for breach of contract, for example. I have no knowledge at all of Spanish law, though, so I have no idea who has grounds to sue whom and under what code. If a similar situation happened the US, you'd probably file a lawsuit against Cloudflare, the ISPs, and the relevant sports league and sort it out in court.
You would do the same in a civil law country, sue the sports league and ISP. State that an "unlawful act" happened (blocking your service) and claim damages due to loss of traffic and the extra work it caused you.
But is it actually an unlawful act? A judge decreed that La Liga can demand the blockage of certain IPs. La Liga demanded the blockage of certain IPs. Does the fact that it had an unintended consequence on others somehow make it illegal?
It doesn't have to be an unlawful act. You can recover damages for a lawful act.
Here's France, the Platonic embodiment of European civil law:
> To get damages, you must compile a file that gathers all the elements that make it possible to determine that your damage is compensable
> You must demonstrate that you are the victim of harm: [snip]
> In order for your damage to be repaired, you must also determine:
> - A fault, negligence or infringement committed by another person
> - And that your injury occurred as a result of that fault, negligence or breach.
> Example :
> A person walking down the street hits you because he is looking at his phone. You fall and you break your arm. So you are suffering bodily harm that was caused by the negligence of the person who shoved you. It was precisely this negligence that led to your damage, because if the person did not hit you, you would not have fallen. You can therefore ask him for damages.
Judges aren't perfect and just because they decree something, doesn't mean that the remedy implemented by the ISPs isn't also a violation of some law or regulation. Normally this would be handled by yet another court case, possibly going to a higher court to decide if there are contradictions or conflicts.
The law is no stranger to "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenarios.
Do they not have a charge of "tortious interference with business" in civil law like in common law? It's where one company just goes out of their way to fuck up your business for no good reason.
I think it’s a universal tactic. Maybe it’s even more extreme in the US (what isn’t), but you can drag court proceedings on pretty much anywhere there are courts and legal costs.
What ISP? I'm using Vodafone and if I accept the insecure connection (because of mismatched certificate), I get served the notification. You don't get that?
Why would you ever accept a mismatched certificate? Even assuming that you think your ISP has no nefarious plans, are you going to be able to rigorously confirm it's their certificate? At that point you've bypassed all the mechanisms in your browser that do this heavy lifting for you.
Bit hard to get notified by the ISP if you effectively try to side-step the way they notify you, don't you think? Also bit weird to blame them for that.
If I recall correctly, if you try to access the IP directly you get the same notification. No football game on right now though so cannot check.
Edit: In fact, I'm not sure they do DNS filtering at all actually, it may be just based on IP, can't remember off-hand, considering the collateral damage, I'd say IP blocks mainly.
ISPs have your contact information, and they can also put up notices on their own website. Hijacking somebody else's website with forged replies isn't "the way they notify you," it's a man-in-the-middle attack, and users shouldn't be trained or encouraged to accept it.
> ISPs have your contact information, and they can also put up notices on their own website.
So whenever you see "Connection Refused" your instinct is to go to your ISPs website?
I also don't think it's "hijacking someone's website", then it'd be global, instead it is a man-in-the-middle attack, serving different traffic than the user intended.
Hijacking secured connections to inject a payload that doesn’t actually come from the source is not a legitimate form of notification - it’s a malicious infrastructure attack.
Congrats to the Zed team! I really like your editor and it works surprisingly well, althought there are a few rough edges still with the python experience.
The debugger in Python FastAPI and mainly Django is not working as expected. Hopefully soon will be fixed.
The situation every weekend is getting worse and worse. Honestly, I cannot understand how any goverment who wants freedom for its citizens can allow to block internet access to a whole country only because a private football company asks for it. I guess LaLiga is the 4th statement in Spain...
