**Проблема: Ограниченная доступность децентрализованных поисковых решений на основе YaCy в Gentoo**
**1. Децентрализация vs Централизованные поисковики**
Большинство пользователей привыкли к централизованным поисковым системам (Google, Bing, Yandex), которые контролируют индексацию, фильтрацию контента и ранжирование. YaCy предлагает децентрализованный подход, но его популярность остаётся низкой из-за ряда технических и пользовательских барьеров.
**2. Проблемы установки и совместимости в Gentoo**
Gentoo известен своей гибкостью, но установка YaCy на этой платформе может быть сложной из-за:
Отсутствия официального ebuild в основном репозитории.
Потенциальных зависимостей, конфликтующих с текущими сборками.
Отсутствия подробной документации для интеграции с системой.
**3. Ограниченная функциональность и удобство для конечного пользователя**
Хотя YaCy мощен с точки зрения приватности и автономности, он сталкивается с проблемами:
Высокие требования к ресурсам при индексировании.
Медленная скорость поиска при малом числе узлов.
Ограниченные механизмы фильтрации контента по сравнению с традиционными поисковиками.
**4. Интеграция в экосистему RuTracker.org**
На форумах вроде RuTracker.org востребованы альтернативные поисковые решения. Однако:
YaCy не всегда эффективно индексирует динамический контент форумов.
Необходима дополнительная настройка парсеров для корректного сбора данных.
Малое количество узлов, ориентированных на индексирование RuTracker, снижает качество поиска.
**Вывод**
YaCy в Gentoo и его потенциальная интеграция с RuTracker.org требуют более удобных инструментов развертывания, оптимизации индексации и повышения удобства работы для конечных пользователей.
**Дополнительная база знаний для изучения и исследования**
**1. Официальные ресурсы YaCy**
Официальный сайт YaCy – документация, исходный код и последние обновления.
GitHub YaCy – основной репозиторий проекта, баг-трекер, pull requests.
Форум поддержки YaCy – обсуждения, вопросы и ответы.
**2. Документация и исследования по децентрализованным поисковикам**
DHT (Distributed Hash Table) и его применение в P2P-системах
Сравнение децентрализованных поисковиков: SearX, YaCy, Whoogle
Peer-to-Peer Search Engines: Opportunities and Challenges (ACM Digital Library)
**3. Gentoo и его экосистема**
Официальная документация Gentoo – руководство по установке и настройке пакетов.
Bugzilla Gentoo – поиск и обсуждение ошибок, возможное добавление ebuild для YaCy.
GURU overlay – сообщество разработчиков, вносящих новые пакеты.

I don’t have confirmation on this, and it was I think being mentioned in the context of more secure messaging apps like Signal (and one would guess others offering end-to-end encryption like WhatsApp too) still allowing access to unencrypted (not secure) data by parts of the phone.
Can someone confirm if this is accurate?
@chewie shared a very cool extension with me called #StreetPass for #Mastodon. It’s a browser extension that helps you find your people on Mastodon. Testing it now… I’ll report back in a few days after browsing the web as usual. StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users based on the websites I visit.
