從 Android (AOSP) fork 出來的 /e/
上個禮拜在 Hacker News 看到的「Review of /e/ – An Android Alternative For Mobile Phones」，在講 /e/ 這個從 AOSP 改出來的作業系統，主力在於「unGoogled」這件事情，避免任何資料傳回給 Google。Hacker News 上對應的討論在「Review of /e/ – Android-based alternative for mobile phones (thenewleafjournal.com)」這邊。
先看了一下運作方式，/e/ 的後面是 e Foundation，以非營利組織的方式經營。
從 LineageOS 的經驗來看，看起來有蠻多東西預先包好了，像是預掛了 microG 來模擬 Google Play Services 的服務與 API，這樣可以讓一些需要 Google Play Services 的服務可以跑 (但可以預期不會是完全相容)。
另外也有一些商業合作，所以市場上可以買到出廠就已經安裝 /e/ 的手機，讓一般使用者更容易上手。另外一條可以預期的路是自己刷 /e/，從「Smartphone Selector」這邊可以看到 /e/ 支援很多型號。
文章裡另外題到了其他的 AOSP fork，走不同的路線：
In addition to LineageOS, there are two forks focused primarily on security – GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. There is also Replicant, which appears to mostly support older devices at this time.
看起來弄個 Pixel 5a 或是舊一點的 Pixel 4a 應該是個還可以的方向，Google 自家牌的手機通常都是這些 distribution 優先支援的機種...

自架的 Google Search Proxy 伺服器專案：Whoogle Search
忘記在哪邊看到的連結，自架的 Google Search Proxy 伺服器專案：「Whoogle Search」，對應的 Hacker News 討論串也可以參考：「Whoogle Search: A self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine (github.com/benbusby)」。 從 GitHub 上的分析可以看出來主要是 Python 與 Flask 寫的，然後說明就有提到是從 Google Search 撈資料，去掉所有可能可以被追蹤的項目： Get Google search results, but without any ads, javascript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking.

Google 說要把 double quote 強制搜尋的功能加回來...
Hacker News Daily 上看到「We're improving search results when you use quotes (blog.google)」這則，才知道原來被拔掉了？(不過已經很久不是拿 Google Search 當主力了...) 原文在「How we're improving search results when you use quotes」這邊，裡面提到： For example, if you did a search such as [“google search”], the snippet will show where that exact phrase appears: [...] In the past, we didn’t…

搜尋引擎的替代方案清單
看到「A look at search engines with their own indexes」這篇在介紹各個搜尋引擎，作者設計了一套方法測試，另外在文章裡面也給了很多主觀的意見，算是很有參考價值的，可以試看看裡面提出來的建議。 另外在 Hacker News 上也有討論可以參考：「A look at search engines with their own indexes (2021) (seirdy.one)」。 在文章開頭的「General indexing search-engines」這個章節，先列出三大搜尋引擎 GBY (Google、Bing、Yandex)，以及使用這三家當作後端資料庫的搜尋引擎，可以看到到處都是 Bing 的影子。 接著作者推薦 Mojeek 這個作為 GBY 的替代方案： Mojeek: Seems privacy-oriented with a large index containing billions of pages. Quality isn’t at GBY’s…
