What you are describing is the current problem with the bing and yahoo engine. They don't give quality results for an unknown reason for some percentage of results. The reason why bing is the default on my instance is because it gives near limitless results as it doesn't rate limit. Before I had google enabled as default but it broke in early october (refer to this GitHub issue if you want to read up on it: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5286) Either way since duckduckgo and brave also increased their bot detection the only "quality" general search engine left is presearch. You can switch the engines when you go to preferences -> engines. There you can enable/disable engines however you want. Hope this helps and thanks for your feedback!

Sorry for the late reply. Invidious is a front-end / proxy for YouTube. You can check the source code from the Invidious project at https://github.com/iv-org/invidious If you have any specific questions regarding my instance of invidious feel free to ask.

thank you, good to know

That worked flawlessly. Got the email. Such a nice software from a user perspective.

Yeah that was the intention; to keep everything self-hosted. Although cloudflare is great for some tasks one would have to take their word that they are not reading user data when they act as the TLS termination.

I have extended the IPv6 access via AS208694 to redlib.tiekoetter.com and nitter.tiekoetter.com

Just checked it. It was actually Twitter that was down and not the Nitter instances. It is still a bit flaky but so is Twitter itself right now.

For the missing features please refer to the GitHub repository of the developer of Nitter: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter The "following users" suggestion is on the roadmap (account system) I don't know how far this feature is in development. You can open an issue there regarding the NSFW options. Thanks for the feedback! I hope my hosted services continue to be useful to you and others!

After a bit more testing and one full day of evaluation Wikiless is now restored. The aggressive caching didn't really help. I added Anubis on top of Wikiless and after a few minutes it completely removed the rate limit on the back-end. Meaning JavaScript is now required for Wikiless but the barrage of bot requests gets filtered out. In my opinion a fair trade off. Shoutout to Anubis. This software is incredible at stopping bots/scrapers https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

Regarding Invidious: YouTube is currently A/B testing disabling DASH. Invidious uses DASH for the video streams. YouTube wants their in-house protocol, SABR, to be the new default. Some mitigations are now in place to get DASH back but consider Invidious unstable for the foreseeable future as YouTube will likely disable them sooner or later as well. https://github.com/iv-org/invidious-companion/issues/60
