The distributed search engine YaCy version 1.0



Activists of the free software movement launched a new project: search engine YaCy, which in the future can compete with Google, Yahoo/Bing, Yandex and other closed commercial search engines. Version of YaCy 1.0, was released after five years of development, and now to join the network finally can anyone.

YaCy search engine works on the principle of P2P, i.e. storing the search index and processing search queries are carried out not on a Central server and a distributed network of peers Freeworld. The network can log each user that installed the software under GNU/Linux, Windows or Mac OS, the network is now about a thousand nodes.

If you have your website, proindeksirujut if it and place the index in its own node Freeworld. To do this, after indexing disable function of the software Distribution DHT and DHT Receive. If you want to index all the interesting sites and use their local search engine (screenshot)

A distributed network of peers and open source guarantee the stability of the search engine, protect it from attempts of censorship (see SOPA, PROTECT IP, etc.) or accusations of subjectivity and securely protect private information of users. No storage of history of requests, no tracking cookies.

Demo version now under strain in connection with the press release. To help portal to withstand a couple of days after installing the program, please forum your static IP, it will redirect your search queries from the portal.

According to the authors of the project, search engines are a key element in the infrastructure of the web, an important link between billions of users and information they are looking for.



"For such an important function, we cannot rely on a few large companies and to sacrifice their own privacy," says Michael christen (Michael Christen), project leader YaCy.



What kind of YaCy is an analogue of free social networking Twitter, which is positioned as an alternative to closed, centralized Facebook/Google+/etc. YaCy provides support for the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE).

Yes, of course, he is still here, and even used my N9 and someone's Blackberry, but the fact that Digia will no longer support this API at all. But in Digia are working not fools, they gradually started to pull the pieces QtMobility in Qt5. One such component is a QtLocation.

Database replication PostgreSQL-based SymmetricDS

In this article I will tell how to configure database replication for PostgreSQL. For the experiments we use a distribution of Linux CentOS 5.3, although this is not essential. we will use a version of PostgreSQL 8.4.7 and SymmetricDS-2.2.2. What is replication? In fact, it is a mechanism to automatically synchronize the contents of databases running on different servers. As a result of replication of these databases contain absolutely identical data. This is necessary for example in order to provide fault tolerance system (in the case of the fall of the first database server, the work enters the second), or to implement load balancing, different customers can serve different server. For replication you need at least two database servers, so prepare two identical servers with a PostgreSQL database on each. The first is the IP address 10.0.2.20, the second — 10.0.2.21, both gateway 10.0.2.2. You can do a virtual machine like VirtualBox to create two virtual servers and run...
