I completely empathized with the writer of this article. It's just incredible! It happens the same in Spain as well. Many doctors say the are burned because of the bureaucracy and efficiency.

Thanks a lot for this article. I really like and we should talk more about this.
I use myself the DaisyUI Blueprint MCP and it's totally worth it. Not even fable 5.1 without all that context and way of directing could work this well. At least, I feel is worth paying for that MCP.
I use it because EU and API pricing is decent to me. And support is awesome also. They reply the same day or at most the next day, and they follow the ticket great. It isn't that bad, but neither the best.
I decided to move to NixOS a few months ago. In terms of OS, it was one of the best decisions I've made so far. It's awesome to have the rollback experience, upgrade whenever you want and also being able to experiment without being afraid of breaking already working stuff.
Another great benefit, is that AI can read my whole OS (good and bad at the same time, I know). This makes the AI way more accurate on giving you a good solution instead of having to scan all of your OS and dig into /etc.
Personally, I really like NixOS. It's hard but definetely worth the try. Probably not for everyone, but worth it if you're a computer scientist or need to maintain hundreds of computers.
I really like the idea and that it's eu-made a love it. A fee things I see with kagi which are useful and improvements:
- Hire a UI/UX person NOW! My parents and gf like using google and kagi because are easy to use.
- add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap. My gf is thinking about moving away from kagi because of this.
- the quick ai response is extremely useful.
- Indexing websites is super important. People doesnt know where to put the content in a website or how to make accessible. Many times i use google due to this fact.
- Make a family subscription.
- make it funny, easy to use and welcoming. The branding is SUPER important.
Good luck and I really wish you to succeed! Im paying for an account ;)

Is there a way to build a search engine that doesn't involve either building or accessing a index somehow? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, is this for the website builders or for the users, who the "indexing of websites" is super important? The "people doesn't know" part sounds like it's for website authors, but the last part makes it sound like the context is search engine users.
I refer to the fact that many websites don't have a proper way to search the content inside the website. For instance, many goverment websites have terrible accessibility and the data seems ofuscated.
Google solves me to search content in those websites
Ok, so say they added their own website index then, how would that help with "People doesnt know where to put the content in a website or how to make accessible"?
I went into settings, excluded every provider, and enabled "include uruky site search", but it still says "Providers used: Mojeek", and every other search I try shows no mention of the uruky index
It’s too small right now, so we don’t allow you to search it exclusively, yet. Eventually it should become a “proper” search provider once it reaches 100M urls or so.
- Ouch. We get a lot of love for our UI/UX, which I guess just goes to show taste is personal. If you have any particular points of friction, we'd love to hear about them.
- Only Serper allows for this, so we're very hesitant. If other providers allowed it, we could definitely consider it.
- We won't have Generative AI, sorry.
- Could you clarify?
- Check out the interview I gave The Privacy Dad, I explain the problems for something like that.
This is a bug plus in my book, and it is, besides being Europe-based, the reason I've been donating to Vivaldi for the past 18 months. I signed up for Uruky just last week, but I sense I'll stick around for much longer. Please continue being awesome!
Seeing the point on UI/UX got me curious as well and from a brief look I don't quite see where it is coming from, but maybe they will expand on it. Regarding their point about relatives loving Google/Kagi for usability: If you don't already do that, I believe it can be pretty eye-opening to just place some "tech-illiterate" person in front of your product and check if/where they struggle. There were lots of situations where I saw people struggling with steps I stopped thinking about, just because I was more familiar with the software. And while I have nothing to do with UI/UX myself, I am pretty sure that kind of paper cut is what tends to block any kind of broad adoption.
Thanks! Your point is quite valid and we do that. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with most "tech-illiterate" people we have is that they don't understand why they should care about privacy or what's "wrong" with AI tools in the first place.
I got the point. But in this case, you have a fairly low pricing (5€), therefore i guess either you want a side project, a small business in a familiar kind or to go worldwide adoption. The last case, you have to take "tech illiterate" people really seriously.
- the landing page looks good to me, but not to my mother for example. A slight difference in color, placing or anything is like a huge problem for her.
- im sorry to hear thag. However this is being a deal breaker for my parents and gf :/ they use it A LOT!
- many websites have terrible content placing and search features. But im forced to use them. I use google to get to that content.
I think it all depends on what kind of customer they want to attract.
> Hire a UI/UX person NOW
I agree, the current site is too busy.
> add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap
Sounds like clutter to me
> the quick ai response is extremely useful.
Depends, I use Kagi because it doesn't have that (or it does, but allowed me to hide it, I don't remember anymore)
> make it funny, easy to use and welcoming
If I see another web site that "uh-oh!"s me the moment something doesn't work, I'm going to kill myself ;) The drive to be "funny" can very quickly turn into cringe-fest.
I use mistralai and their API is quite good. Luckily I like to pin the versions and upgrade manually a little bit later just in case of this kind of unfortunate events.
I have been using Typst for creating notes and it is an awesome tool. I use it to create notes on welding for my students. It makes my life so much easier compared to badsoft and its not-word-ing (you understand me).
Personally, i feel it is complicated because ISPs are highly afraid of trying it. I understand that such novel technology would be risky to use. But after 20+ years there are still many countries, like Spain, which are barely using it. After that much time has passed, it is already well battle-tested. At this point, you don't want to make the move either because you are too afraid of anything or you have commercial reasons.
I believe Telefonica has reasons to not use IPv6... Although in the long run is turning to be a bad decision. Look at digi :p
I think they are not afraid, they just see 0 reasons to
without IPv6: everything works already, your customers can access any website
with IPv6: ...what are the benifits to them? they still have to provide IPv4 to customers or do some ipv6 to ipv4 translation to make sure ipv4 websites still work
(I've never worked at an ISP so my opinion might be useless)
There are some reasons, which is why you do see IPv6 use increasing. IPv4 exhaustion means that almost all mobile (and in some countries landline) internet connections have to access the IPv4 internet through Carrier Grade NAT. ISPs have to buy the equipment to operate these and pay for their maintenance, and they have to do so in proportion to how much traffic is stuck on the IPv4 internet. At a certain point making the necessary investments to send more traffic over IPv6 end-to-end becomes a better bet than continuing to maintain a growing CGNAT stack.
The tough part is that while ISPs can largely control whether their mobile and residential users have IPv6 available they can’t really do so for their business users, let alone arbitrary website operators they have no relationship with. So the reality is that everyone is going to have to maintain both 4to6 and 6to4 basically forever. But as it becomes less common it’ll no longer need to be especially fast or efficient and the costs to operate it will come down.
> I think they are not afraid, they just see 0 reasons to
This is a big part of it. Apart from extra addresses, it offers remarkably little benefit in terms of networking features from an operational management perspective. It sounds like it should be better when you look at the features, but, in actual operation the features don't really offer that much.
Further, there's the general problem that for some reason the network equipment manufacturers seem to think that because you don't frequently need NAT that now you don't need to have a stateful firewall just always on by default on a network edge device.
Plus the general confusion among tech neophytes that NAT itself is offering actual security features, so that a stateful firewall is a downgrade. This is such a fundamental misunderstanding that you can't even communicate with a person that believes it to be the case. I fear that this confusion will remain with us for decades. I'm sure me even mentioning it will spawn a whole thread of people vehemently disagreeing, because there is always at least one.
This is coupled with the fact that the addresses are just ugly. Like, I'm sorry, but unless you're exactly an electrical engineer, the IPv6 addressing scheme is difficult to remember. IPv4 has the same problem -- the magic numbers are only easy to remember if you have memorized the binary values, too -- but it's really only a handful of things to remember in comparison. Hex values are just not as easy to read or remember compared to decimal numbers. So even though IPv6 isn't harder to use, it feels like it's much harder to use.
IT and telecom tend to have an ultra conservative if it’s not broke don’t fix it attitude. It won’t get deployed until enough customers ask for it or it’s required for something important.
Most v4 support is through a gateway. You can't tell the user's IP address from the wrong side of the gateway, for example - only the gateway's address. The user isn't on v4, the gateway is.
Yeah, so you still reach the user, it's just probably less efficient than the all-v6 route.
Edit: Oh, you mean if they want unsolicited inbound traffic? Sure, but that's only a thing for services. I mean you can have a default-allow firewall to home devices but really shouldn't.
