It’s on F-Droid if you load their repo.
It is not allowed in F-Droid’s official repos because it is not open source; anyone can run their own F-Droid repo and distribute proprietary software from it.
Also it’s open source but I understand some people don’t like their license.
It is not open source; that is a term with an internationally recognized definition. Even FUTO themselves now acknowledge it is not.
there is a thread about the moderation of this thread here.
Thanks for editing, but I deleted your comment anyway because it was still just recommending something that is not open source.
fyi there is a thread here discussing the moderation of this thread.

The good news is that (sometime last year, long after you posted this) futo finally agreed to stop calling their license “open source”; unfortunately there are still some vocal fans of theirs arguing in various forums that it is.
Futo is not open source, as they (now, finally) even admit themselves: https://www.futo.org/about/futo-statement-on-opensource/
See also https://opensource.org/osd and https://opensource.org/authority and compare it to Futo’s licenses; there are (at least) three reasons it doesn’t qualify, can you spot them all? (rhetorical question; don’t @ me)
I am locking this thread to avoid needing to remove misinformation and advocacy from Futo fans who think they should be allowed to redefine a term which there has been consensus about the definition of since before they were born.
even if it’s from its own repository, it is still on F-droid
There is nothing to stop anyone from running their own f-droid repo and distributing non-free software through it, which is what futo is doing.
seems open source enough
This is the definition. Compare it with Futo’s license; it fails to meet both the Open Source Definition and Free Software Definition in several ways. After insisting they could redefine the term for a while (despite the definition’s wide acceptance) and inspiring some of their very vocal fans to promulgate their dishonest argument on their behalf, Futo themselves finally came around and agreed to stop calling their software open source.
you just can’t understand what open-source means
FYI, nearly everyone (including Futo themselves), except for some Futo fans like yourself who haven’t gotten the memo, agrees that this is the definition of “open source” (and Futo’s license obviously does not qualify).
Other comments in this thread suggesting that Futo keyboard is open source have been deleted as offtopic.
usaid.gov

which currently does not resolve.
I see. What a mess.
The instructions at https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-docker.html mention that the docker image (which that page tells you to just pull and run) has its “sources hosted at” https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker and has instructions for running it the image without docker-compose.
But, the Dockerfile
source for the image is actually in the main repo at https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/master/Dockerfile and the searxng-docker
repo actually contains a docker-compose.yaml
and different instructions for running it under compose instead.
Anyway, in the docker-compose
deployment, SEARXNG_BASE_URL
(yet another name for this… neither SEARXNG_URL
or BASE_URL
, but apparently it sets base_url
from it) is constructed from SEARXNG_HOSTNAME
on line 58 here: https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker/blob/a899b72a507074d8618d32d82f5355e23ecbe477/docker-compose.yaml#L58
If I had a github account associated with this pseudonym I might open an issue or PR about this, but I don’t and it isn’t easy to make one anymore 😢
Organic Maps is great, but see also OsmAnd.
The former is faster and easier to use but the latter has a lot more features.
Changing
SEARXNG_HOSTNAME
in my.env
file solved it.
nice. (but, i assume you actually mean SEARXNG_URL
? either that or you’re deploying it under some environment other than one described in the official repo, because the string HOSTNAME
does not appear anywhere in the searxng repo.)
https://docs.searxng.org/admin/settings/settings_server.html says you need to set base_url
, and that by default it’s set to $SEARXNG_URL
.
however, https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-docker.html#searxng-searxng says that if you are running it under docker the environment variable which controls base_url
in the config is actually BASE_URL
rather than SEARXNG_URL
.
(possibly whichever variable it is is currently empty, which might make it construct a URL based on the IP address it is configured to listen on.)
in my experience DeepL has the best results for some language pairs while Google is better for others (and has a lot more languages).
But, these days I’m happy to say Firefox translate is the first thing I try and it is often sufficient. I mostly only try the others now when the Firefox result doesn’t make sense or the language is unsupported.
Yeah, that would make sense - language detection is trivial and can be done with a small statistical model; nothing as complicated as a neural network is needed, i think just looking at bigram frequency is accurate enough when you have more than a few words.
If that is what is happening, and it is only leaking the language pair to the server the first time that pair is needed, that would be nice… I wish they made it clear if that is what is happening 😢
Probably that’s when it does online connection?
since the help says it is downloading “partial language files” automatically, and the button never changes from “Download” to “Remove” if you don’t click Download, logically it must sometimes need to download more of a language which you have previous downloaded a “partial language file” of.
i am curious if the choice of which parts of the “language file” (aka model) it is downloading really does not reveal anything about the text you’re translating; i suspect it most likely does reveal something about the input text to the server… but i’m not motivated enough to research it further at the moment.
While USAID definitely funds/funded many ridiculous things (such as this) they also provide much-needed food and medicine to a lot of people - for cynical politically-motivated soft-power reasons, but still. It seems very likely that abruptly cutting off those programs will cause some people to die. I really hope someone (the PRC seems likely) will step in and replace some of those programs!
