Do you know a search engine which values personal blogs, small websites, small wikis and such these far more than big websites? Recently I'm seeing this pattern that I can find better articles in such these websites, than searching online in DuckDuckGo and previously Google, to look for something.

The problem's that without a search engine, finding these valuable content is far from easy. Currently I find them manually.

Boosts very much appreciated.

Could someone help me please....

I am trying to burn a DVD in Linux and I have the file I want to burn, I have Brasero, which is a opensource DVD burner.

I go to burn and it says getting ready to burn and then immediately ejects the disc.

Is this a program error? Or is this a permissions error type thing?

After helping to elect Trump,
Musk turns his gaze to Europe

Elon Musk is facing accusations of political meddling beyond the US
after endorsing far-right parties across Europe,
including the German Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Britain’s Reform UK.

“Only the AfD can save Germany,”
Musk wrote on X Friday in a post that was viewed 25 million times within hours,
leading one senior German politician to remark, “stay out, Elon.”

The tech billionaire’s post followed reports that Musk is considering donating as much as $100 million
to the anti-immigration Reform UK
after meeting the party’s leader at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence earlier in the week,
in what would amount to the largest political donation in British history.

Politicians from Italy, Ireland, and France have warned Musk not to interfere in their domestic politics.

Feeding Time

I took this image through my storm door yesterday. I thought about isolating the northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) in flight, but the whole scene, although maybe not a photogenic, is more interesting.

In my story, after Frankie flees back through the hole under the fence, Sam flies up to a feeding platform in the middle of space beyond the hole. Sam is enjoying the solitude when the cardinal twins, Carl and Cody show up. The twins are annoying, and Sam thinks "c'est la vie."

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Take a look:

Japan’s antitrust watchdog will reportedly
💥find Google guilty of operating an illegal monopoly over search.

The anticipated ruling, Nikkei reported, comes
months after a US court found Google’s search business was an illegal monopoly
-- largely because of the company’s exclusivity contracts with device manufacturers
— practices that were also at the heart of Japan’s case.

US prosecutors have pushed for Google to sell its operating system or browser
— changes that would undoubtedly hurt the firm’s margins.

Japan’s commission is mulling a similarly “firm stance,” Nikkei reported.

Any changes could take years to realize, however:

Google is appealing the monopoly charge
(a trial date is set for April, 2025),
and has also recently proposed a far less damaging set of fixes to address the US ruling,
and could do the same in Japan.
