A #Warning for Anyone Using #DuckDuckGo's #Email #Privacy
(#PleaseBoost!)
On Tuesday I upgraded my self-hosted #Mailcow server.
On Tuesday most of my @duck.com email addresses stopped working.
I've just been told that if @duck.com tried to forward one email to you, and it can't deliver it, then it will stop forwarding every other email address you have in your account!
One failure.
So I'm guessing that while all the various docker containers for my hosted Mailcow install were being upgraded and restarted one fucking email came-in to my domain from @duck.com and it was bounced for whatever reason.
And now I'm sitting here looking at 100+ unique email addresses, most of which are used as authentication credentials for logging-in to websites and services, that I now need to figure out how to change.
Do. Not. Use. DuckDuckGo. Email. Privacy.
DuckDuckGo ora permette di bloccare immagini AI nei risultati di ricerca! Una nuova opzione per un'esperienza personalizzata e rispettosa della privacy.

Je découvre que DuckDuckGo a un domaine https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ qui permet de faire des recherches sans les outils IA du site et en plus avec un filtre anti-IA dans la recherche (c'est une curation humaine donc y'a des trous dans la raquette, mais c'est déjà ça) par défaut (tout ceci est configurable sur https://duckduckgo.com, mais ça ne reste pas en navigation privée, par exemple).
Dans firefox, vous pouvez aller dans les préférences de recherche (about:preferences#search) et ajouter un "raccourcis de recherche" (tout en bas) comme ça :
Nom du moteur de recherche: DuckDuckGo (no AI)
URL avec %s à la place de l’expression recherchée: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s
Much needed filter.

**Sick of AI Slop? DuckDuckGo Now Lets You Block AI-Generated Images**
_DuckDuckGo admits the tool 'isn't perfect,' but claims it will 'greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.'_

Has anyone else on a mission to find a daily driver search engine that isn't Google or Bing given Mojeek a look? It's been around since 2004, with its own crawler and index of somewhere in the realm of 6-7 billion pages, all run from a data center in the UK run by Custodian Data Centres, who claim its one of the greenest in the country (can't vouch for the veracity of that claim; it's all news to me).
They've also been lamenting the state of search on the web for years, and discussing the need for more independent search indexes, so they seem to be on the right side of the fight. Obviously, corporations are not your friends, so yeah, that could change at any moment, but while I like SearXNG (when my preferred instance is fully operational; it was barely usable for the last day or two), and Startpage when it's not telling me I'm blocked for acting like a bot or using a VPN I'm definitely not using???, they're both still meta engines aggregating results from the usual suspects (in the case of SearXNG, a very flexible one that lets the end user choose which sources they want/don't want results from, but still), so I think there's value in having at least one other actual independent crawler with its own index, and much like web browsers, it's an increasingly difficult thing to do from scratch without VC money (Cliqz tried, but couldn't survive the pandemic).
Anyway, I set it as my default engine in LibreFox yesterday, and am going to trial it for at least a few days to see how it goes. Will report my findings.

#Duckduckgo führt #KI- #Bildfilter ein.
Die #Suchmaschine #Duckduckgo ermöglicht das Ausblenden künstlich erzeugter #Bilder. Alle solche Bilder wird der #Filter aber nicht erfassen.
Die #datenschutzorientierte #Suchmaschine setzt damit ihre Strategie fort, sich durch mehr #Kontrollmöglichkeiten für ihre #Nutzer von der #Konkurrenz abzuheben.
#KI-generierte Inhalte #überfluten derzeit das #Internet und damit auch die #Suchergebnisse.

DuckDuckGo lancia un nuovo filtro per nascondere le immagini generate dall'intelligenza artificiale. Questo aiuta a combattere l'AI slop e sostiene la filosofia di trasparenza e rispetto per l'utente.

Sicurezza
Apparently #DuckDuckGo is having a lie-down for many. Get your #Kagi on. Far superior. Fact
@aral
I guess that explains why #DuckDuckGo has been down so much lately and their "No AI" page really isn't "no AI". I guess I'll try kagi again.
@tux0r Immer noch DuckDuckStop ?
@blogdiva Never pick a company name that can rhyme with 'fuck', the moment you do fuck up, you're done!
@beardedtechguy it was down for me in the UK too. Up again now though!
A little reminder that DuckDuckGo is venture capital (VC) funded.
The way VC works:
1. You get VC
2. You grow as fast as you can (or fail fast)
3. You sell (either to a larger corporation or to the public in an IPO; this is called the “exit”)
(In case any of you are surprised by recent/future developments.)
