  It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines. In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Is there such a thing as a " Master Search Engine " for desktops and websites that can search for any keyword on the site and on the PC?

  For the websites, I like running my YaCy, a p2p DIY search engine. I have a humble 200k documents indexed. That apparently takes 10.6GB of my disk. The downside is you have to index it yourself. Source: about 1 year ago

• Options to backup https://trythatsoap.com/?

  YaCy is also a decent webcrawler. Probably overkill in most cases since it also wants to create a search index, but it can also export a txt list of URLs that could be fed into Archivebox. (need to opt out of settings to not store random site data for others). Source: over 1 year ago

• Search engines are useless now

  My personal advice is to use a basket of search engines; I use DuckDuckGo, Gigablast, and Searx for different things. I've also read about the peer-to-peer YaCy search engine, which I really want to try. Source: over 1 year ago
