  • This is an interesting observation, not really something I have considered. The key difference here is that you are the one in control of those customizations. Whether the customizations are useful or harmful is entirely up to the user, Kagi just gives you the option.

    For me at least, the majority of my searches I just want the correct answer to a question or a link to a specific resource I’m looking for. I don’t really use it as a content discovery engine. Being able to prioritize sites that I have found through experience to have reliable results and exclude sites that are uninformative or irritating is valuable.



  • Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don’t get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!



  • A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.




  • For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

    Library file stuff:

    • Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
    • Sonarr for TV
    • Lidarr for music
    • Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
    • Jackett
    • deluge+openVPN

    For library frontend stuff:

    • Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
    • Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
    • Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
    • LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
    • Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader

    Haven’t set up yet:

    • flaresolverr
    • unpackerr
    • audiobookshelf

    Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:

    • *arr app for emulator ROMs (I’ll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)
