Just came across this while scrolling pixelfed!

A Canadian hosted search engine.

I have been using Ecosia, but will have to try this out.

SearXNG is pretty lightweight to run, it's mostly run by the same kind of people who host Mastodon and other fediverse instances, often off the same servers. maapl.net is run by Mike Fraser, @mike@thecanadian.social from the image in OP, where thecanadian.social is his donation-supported, Canadian-focussed Mastodon instance. I don't know whether the funding for maapl.net comes out of that same donation pool, but it would make sense.

It's basically self funded by me for now. I'm pondering at some point maybe doing a membership at like a dollar a month for hosting expenses.

Have you thought about applying for a CIRA grant? mstdn.ca did something similar with them back in 2022.
