It’s an old problem. From the very start of the net, you had to sort the wheat from the chaff. Back then, the BS was human-generated. Now we have the addition of AI crap. But anyway, they solved it already. Its called wikipedia. (Or any other community curated data source as well.) I’m not some wiki fan, but that’s the world’s answer to encroaching bad data. An army of real, very corruptible, infighting, weird-as-hell wiki editors is our last stand against the BS.

Right on. I’m running searxng and whoogle. Whoogle is a low resource option, and it only sources Google. I like searxng for the deep results, all kinds of weird stuff pops.

I was recently recommended to check out YaCy. Haven’t done it yet.

Been working on a jukebox VM. This seems like it will mesh well. Got LMS installed. Muddling through the rest. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-build-a-lms-based-whole-house-audio-system/436016
