Back in April 2021, after a lot of organizational issues regarding the code-review process within the SearX project. Alex (dalf) and I forked the project to create SearXNG. We got Markus (return42), who also wanted to join along for the ride, he was also an active SearX contributor.

The gain of popularity of the project was slow but steady, we positioned ourselves by saying we are a more actively maintained version of SearX because we fixed the engines faster than SearX (core feature of SearX(NG)). We even got ourselves a section in SearX readme about a controversial difference between SearX and SearXNG.

I won't lie, being a maintainer of both project, has

As of April 7th 2026, Discord has expressed their intent to crack down on automating quest completion.

Some users have received the following system message:

There isn't much I can do to make the script undetected, so use it at your own risk, as you most likely WILL get flagged by doing so.

Linux Desktop Issues

Important

I have "moved" this post to my website: https://slugcat.systems/brain_dump/linux-desktop-issues/. Any new updates will be made there.

This is basically my manifesto of why Linux sucks and I keep using Windows as a desktop OS. This is both as a developer platform and end-user targeting.

Look: I would love to be able to use Linux as a daily driver. KDE is amazing and they clearly put far more effort into the desktop experience/UI than Windows (just the volume mixer alone). There are simply far too many underlying and infrastructural problems to the Linux desktop that none of KDE's great UI changes can make up for. I want Linux fanboys, developers, etc... to stop sticking their damn head in the sand about these issues and admit that Linux is still decades behind in some basic infrastructure. This shit can't get fixed if people refuse to admit it's broken in the first place, which some people are far too happy to do.

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

	So, you've probably gotten the new desktop client's UI if you're reading this and wondering how to revert the UI back to the classic look of Discord.
	This is pretty easy if followed properly, For context, this new UI is called the "Desktop Visual Refresh" and was experimented with by Discord from May 2024.

	Anyway, back to the actual guide.

	1. Download Vencord's installer from https://vencord.dev (This is the only official Vencord link!)
	2. Open the installer, install Vencord (It should show your Discord install path)
	3. Once installed, relaunch your Discord client and go to settings, you should see a "Vencord" category.
	4. Go to plugins, search for the plugin called "Experiments" and restart the Discord client.
	5. Go back to settings, scroll down in the menu and you should see alot of new options in the category "Developer Only"
