Interview with the Engineer of Uruky, a Private Search Engine (theprivacydad.com)

Bruno reached out to me mid-April with a suggestion to check out his privacy-first search engine tool Uruky. Uruky works on a subscription model, but one of my kids and I were able to test it out for free for a couple of months.
I normally do not test privacy tools on request, but rather focus on describing tools I've discovered myself and already use in daily life. Yet the email conversation between us evolved into quite a warm exchange about his projects, my blog, networks and privacy tools in general. Bruno, being a software engineer, helped me better understand how local networks work, which led to my article about running a Monero node.

Thank you for providing a testimonial on your experience running a searx node.

Will revisit running a node instead of relying on the worthless public nodes.
