I’m clearly not understanding something here, but I thought search engines would require loads of space to index all the internet. Just thinking about the ability to search for code on stackoverflow seems like loads already.
Edit:
Found it!
SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.
Looks very interesting, thanks for commenting about it.
I didn’t even know this was a thing!
It’s kinda rubbish that this is the only way to do this. Isn’t there some California law that says they haven’t to make unsubscribing easier? Can’t you just tell them you’ve moved to California?
This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.
You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:
HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).
Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.
Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.
I’m a huge fan, Rincewind is one of my fav characters. I think they can just be read in publishing order, whilst characters and some plot lines do crossover each book is a story on its own.
Colour of Magic is a perfect starting point imho.
In the Discworld series there are some parodied Australian wizards in The Last Continent book.
Slightly off topic, but one major benefit for me with Chromecast and keeping the TV offline is software bloat.
Our old Samsung TV running tizan had so many shitty updates that slowed the UI down to what felt like over a second delay when using the remote.
The UI on the app is really disingenuous, it looks like there is no option to change until you click on the individual descriptions.
