Please no. Absolutely not. LLM is absolutely not "nice for dealing with confusion" but the very opposite.
Please do consider people effort, articles, attributions, and actually learning and organizing your knowledge. Please do train your mind, and self-confidence.

Have you checked out the following issue case:
- FYI, I spun up an instance of 4get since I needed an alternative. It has worked flawlessly with all included search engine sources, including Google.
- Thanks, 4get is also good...
- I was using it for the last couple of days and I didn't get any captcha.

Hosting your own is optional.
SearXNG can be added to your browser’s search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.

This website shows the SearXNG public instances. It is updated every 24 hours, except the response times which are updated every 3 hours....
Public instances listed here may yield less accurate results as they have much higher traffic and consequently have a higher chance of being blocked by search providers such as Google, Qwant, Bing, Startpage, etc. Hosting your own instance or using an instance that isn't listed here may give you a more consistent search experience.

Wonderful day! Have you checked out metasearch engines like the following?: SearXNG (...is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from various search services and databases. Users are neither tracked nor profiled...)
SearXNG is a fork of the well-known searx metasearch engine which was inspired by the Seeks project. It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data.

The design of the project is awesome... ✨
I haven't found a reference on that website for contact and contribution, and hence I leave a comment here.
They mention iTerm2 much so it's likely their preferred OS is MacOS, yet I have no experience in it but Linux, and here I believe it's worth to also mention some Linux terminal emulators like Konsole by KDE.
Konsole is quite featureful and extendable, and has support for plugins with custom CSS for its window styling, too!
I've attached a quick but relatively old preview found while currently being on-the-go.
In the preview we may see the changed, via CSS, scroll-bar on the right of terminal windows, and support for relatively complex prompt (i.e. OhMyPosh).

Thank you, but I am sorry, I will not read the output of the LLM. I'll re-recheck the grammar manually.
It's worth to mention that the StackOverflow survey referenced does not include many countries with also great/genius developers, including Belarus, Russia, China, Iran...
There are related cases raised on Meta scopes: Developer Survey 2025 is, apparently, region blocked...
Apparently, while I've being employed in security as software engineer for at least 19 years now, I've never ever considered these trendy LLM/"AI" all serious, and still do not.
Sorry, I have literally no interest in all of it that makes you dependent on it, atrophies mind, degrades research and social skills, and negates self-confidencen with respect to other authors, their work, and attributions. Nor any of my colleagues in military and those I know better in person.
Constant research, general IDEs like JetBrains's, IDA Pro, Sublime Text, VS Code, etc. backed by forums, chats, and Communities, is absolutely enough for the accountable and fun work in our teams, who manage to keep in adequate deadlines.
Nor will use any LLM in my work, art, or research... I prefer people, communication, discoveries, effort, creativity, and human art...
I just disable it everywhere possible, and will do all my life. The close case to my environment was VS Code, and hopefully there's no reason to build it from source since they still leave built-in options to disable it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79534407/5113030 (How can I disable GitHub Copilot in VS Code?...)
Isn't it just inadequate to not think and develop your mind, and let alone pass control of your environment to a yet another model or "advanced T9" of unknown source of unknown iteration.
In pentesting, random black-box IO, medicine experimental unverified intel, log data approximation why not? But in environment control, education, art or programming, fine art... No, never ^^
Meanwhile... so freaking, incredibly many developers, artists are left without attribution, respect, gratitude...
So many people atrophy their skils for learning, contribution, researching, accumulation, self-organization...
So much human precious time is wasted...
So much gets devalued...
The time will show... and just a few actually accountable will recover only, probably...
This is so heartache... sorrowful...
Let's hope the event will not damage... but mostly only solidify and improve the system strength for funding and monetary support, and in long term 🌿
No, sorry. I do not need and will never need your "support" for my mind to atrophy it and make my mind depend on your "tool". My mind is my pen I want to train and learn about. This is one of the reason I was born I believe - to learn, discover, and communicate with people to learn from. That "pen" will only damage all of this instead, ruin my limited time, and devalue art and the whole fun and purpose of the art, I believe.
Not only that, but... who in their dear mind... or what actual artist would like to "draw"/"write" with someone's else art or words coming from that pen's LLM/model, from some unknown actual artists...? What is the... reason... then? Where is the art then?
Thank you...
Apparently, I've never ever considered any LLM serious, convenient, appropriate, similar to Markov's chain, though those differ, and I disable and uninstall absolutely everything that is LLM related, or alters human effortful works, including programming suggestions, searching, and in any kind of adequate research, in the personal life or everywhere possible since 2021 (and some in 2023), where I had a few months of experimenting with those - enough to consider the time I still have to continue actually learning, discovering, and staying social as much as I can...
Please... Please, in context of such education... instead of investing your priceless, precious, finite life time... into such empty void as unknown output of unknown LLM from unknown dataset of unknown artists... developers... people... Please, instead, please consider to take your time... and try to see the love in someone's else works, courses, videos, books, articles, schemes, tables, drawings... who would be only heartfelt delighted to know... to know that someone else like you, like themselves... were reaching out for their experience they were gaining for decades and worked hard to prepare it for someone out there... in search... for someone who wishes and tries to create something, to improve the world... to reach for an achievement... to treasure a goal... to invent a miracle...
Since isn't the following the miraculous purpose to live and contribute to the infinite world? To gain experience by confident, adequate effort, to work towards achievements, to stay responsible as a human, to stay alive... Which is at least: personal contributions published, social interactions, actually felt and considered facts organized by accountable people, self-confidence and miraculous time you invest into learning the human experience published in marvelous works of books, articles, videos, forums, chats - the ineffable magnificence...
There's use for LLM, including pentesting, medicine and analyzing of unknown and random for the sake of random in scopes of "black-box", for example, sure, but overly rarely and the fear of malformed facts, unknown sources, disturbed art... will always shadow any presence of such generative technologies, I believe... Yet, shouldn't technology support you, your mind (i.e. not atrophy it but train and discipline it), your creativity, your ideas, your... existence?
Since isn't learning from someone else experience is actually important...
Isn't it ineffably magnificent to discover someone's hard work...
Isn't the process of learning and discovering actually fun!
Isn't the knowledge that you unique carry valuable...
What is the fun, the purpose, otherwise...?
Please consider your confidence, skills, mind, and... your precious time...

Apologies, but why even mention "free" and "free-beer" terms the first time someone has a desire to dive in such miracles... or ineffably magnificent work of lore, characters, items, balances... art? How low should you even look at such art to even consider the hecking price almost instantly...?
The title has been in development since the very Crawl and Dungeon Crawl of 1997, 1995, or even before that...
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
Copyright 1997-2025 Linley Henzell, the dev team, and the contributors

There are numerous contributors, programmers, artists, donators...
The Universe is close-related to Rogue, Hack, and Moria of 1983.
Some of the Crawl developers hang out on the #crawl-dev IRC channel on Libera: ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/#crawl.
The current binaries are cross-platform, support TTY (terminal), web ("WebTiles" or "web-tiles", former "NetTiles"), and desktop-native ("tiles"; SDL - the library) portals to adventure the universe...
You may self-host any of course, including web-tiles, but due to how authentication is organized since the beginning still, the current version authentication is based on the operating system, and you may want to isolate that in containers nowadays; there are examples.
Some hosts support live-streaming, e.g.: https://underhound.eu:8080/#lobby
Relatively recently, when someone asked about artwork contributions in the IRC channel, they updated the contribution guide, too!
Submitting artwork
If you want to submit artwork (tiles, icons, splash screens) for consideration, you can link it to us in
#crawl-dev, or you can open a github issue, or you can submit a pull request.If you're doing tiles art, or splash screen art, then it's recommended to look at our existing artwork and try to match the general style presented there. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, and clear improvements are always welcome.
If not hard art work-wise, some do donate, too:
Q: Does DCSS accept donations?
The DCSS dev team doesn't currently accept donations. The online server admins, some of whom are DCSS devs themselves, kindly pay all server costs. See your online server's lobby page for the admin's contact info if you'd like to offer them a donation. You can donate to me if you'd like to support my dev work and stream.

There have been discussions for release at Steam, too, relatively similar to Dwarf Fortress or Xonotic even have.
I am sorry, but... how may not you even heard about Dungeon Crawl hearing about the genre almost everywhere...
And... again... money? What does "free" mean? How is that even related here...?

Apparently, an unbearable pain and sorrow starts taking over my head, heart, or even mind with soul... whenever I even think about a moment I realize that something I focused on, in order to imagine and try realizing what idea the artist wanted to express, actually, had no human involved in it but void...
This void is not the reason I dignify discovered, nor I will ever want to... this is not the reason I live... Art is between human to pass ideas and love through the universe, I trust...
Thank you... dear Artists... from the very depths of my hear and soul... for you creating miracles... for believing in the infinitely ineffably magnificent... in purpose... in human... in art...
