Google’s NotebookLM generates brilliant insights but fails at long-term knowledge management. An open-source solution reveals the fundamental gap in today’s AI tools and how users are patching the holes themselves.
As Google Search becomes increasingly cluttered with AI features and integrated services, privacy-conscious users are turning to alternative search solutions. SearXNG, an open-source meta search engine, offers a streamlined experience by aggregating results from multiple sources while eliminating tracking and personalization. The platform can be self-hosted locally or accessed through public instances for enhanced privacy control.

An innovative project by developer Andrew Schmelyun enables strangers to send anonymous messages that print directly on a receipt printer via a Raspberry Pi 4. The system uses Docker containers and Cloudflare tunnels to route web traffic to a locally hosted site. According to reports, the printer has received everything from fake food orders to geographic coordinates and ASCII art.
A developer has created a novel communication system where anonymous online messages print directly to a physical receipt printer, sources indicate. Andrew Schmelyun’s project uses a Raspberry Pi 4 to host a website that accepts public submissions and outputs them on thermal paper complete with timestamps. The setup represents an unusual intersection of web technology and physical computing that has attracted widespread attention.
