The quality of search engines has gone down so much for technical questions.

I'm looking for a way to index sites like stack exchanges, reddit, quora, and research papers. Would this be possible to do this locally with metadata?

StackExchange dumps are available for Kiwix, the project that allows to use a local dump of Wikipedia. You can find all the available dumps there, including the StackExchange ones. You can even build your own search engine through libs allowing to use those zim files (the dumps), if you want.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
