So this is starting to sound more like something that needs to explicitly be paid for in some way (as opposed to just crowd sourcing personal hardware), at least if we want to maintain the same level of service.

It seems like there are others in the thread with good options

[–] elrik@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, at least currently. There may be better options as multi-gigabit internet access becomes more common place and commodity hardware gets faster.

The other options mentioned in this thread are basically toys in comparison (either obtaining results from existing search engines or operating at a scale less than a few terabytes).
