if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG" (lemmy.ca)

actually awesome and fast search engine (depending on which instance you use) with no trashy AI and ADs results also great for privacy, if you don't know which instance to use go to https://searx.space/ and choose an instance closest to you

Dig out old PC from somewhere, install some Linux distribution, Tailscale and Docker/Podman, and install SearX that way.

What if you want to use the computer for something other than Google searching?
