Thanks, and a) it's true, and b) I just pulled an allnighter to reply to
an RFP for a 100-station PBX to be installed in July, c) my brain was
already mushed last night, and d) as a result of b + c I'm loopy as hell
right now;-) and about to get 4 hours sleep before heading back to
client site in SF to work on their PBX toward their move next week which
has to be absolutely seamless.
Which is also why I'm highly skeptical of people who say they want to
run a telco/ISP on volunteer labor, but that's another topic (or dead
horse;-) for another day.

And, I emailed the list to start discussion and prompt background
reading to get everyone potentially interested / affected up to a
basic level of understanding about what would be going on and the
implications. So it is important not to trust my judgement too much.

Anthony & I are friends and we've discussed freedom & privacy

smarts/skills/background, and he walks his talk ferociously, so if
he's endorsing something as a viable privacy application, I trust
his judgement.

I'd love to try this.

the field, else I'd say more;-)

YaCy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy> is a free
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software> distributed
search engine
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_search_engine>,
built on principles of peer-to-peer
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer> (P2P)
networks. All YaCy-peers are equal and no central server
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_%28computing%29> exists.
It can be run either in a crawling
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler> mode or as a
local proxy server
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server>, indexing web
pages visited by the person running YaCy on his or her
computer. (Several mechanisms are provided to protect the
user's privacy.)
Access to the search functions is
given
by a locally running web server which provides a search box
to enter search terms, and returns search results in a
similar format to other popular search engines.
Thoughts?
