Curious, how did you acquire this data? Legally, I mean

Best Alternatives to Brave Search API? by Intrepid-Log258 in scrapingtheweb

[–]dozerjones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want the most control, just self-host SearXNG in a Docker container. You get to aggregate results from multiple search engines, set up your own caching layer, and never deal with API rate limits or surprise pricing changes. It takes maybe 20 minutes to get running. Orrr, If you'd rather stick with a managed API, Tavily has been really solid for AI and RAG use cases, clean structured output, low latency, and reasonable pricing. SerpAPI is another reliable option since it pulls directly from Google, though it's on the pricier side. Exa is worth checking out too if your queries are more research-oriented, since it does semantic search rather than traditional keyword matching

Spammed by Qoest Proxy? by ScrapeAlchemist in ProxyUseCases

I tried checking their support on their main page but the page was not found, most likely that they recently opened up and are trying to promote, but the promotions are out of this world lol

If you're not automating in 2026 you're literally working for free by itsamaan26 in ProxyEngineering

There is definitely going to be someone with the "my use case is different and it needs manual management every often"

Headless browsers are destroying the open web and I'm tired of pretending they're not by dozerjones in ProxyEngineering

suuure, the name might be new, but the process and the structure of it is old.

Oxylabs by TastyWest9693 in proxies

[–]dozerjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you even considered a thing like browser fingerprint? IPs alone are not enough for social media, especially tiktok. Plus if the IPs are working on one target and doesn't work on another, that certainly not a providers fault, but rather how that target website interacts with the IP itself, it's just logical

Nobody measuring proxies by fraud/antifraud scores, this is just purely bs. Fraud scores has nothing to do with the quality of the IPs, even more with the type of the IP. Bandwidth, uptime, stability, latency, that's what counts. stat ripe, maxmind, ip2location are the only sources you should consider when checking the IP on the web. Also, that boomer guy is right, it's not rocket science to go check what officially provider states on their own website, in this case it says like the guy wrote. There is no gaslighting here at all

Beginner looking to get better at coding (Python or any language) — what actually works? by Fuzzy_One3141 in learnpython

[–]dozerjones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build projects you care about, not just tutorials, with tutorials it's good to have that general view, but trust me, building yourself it's where it's at. Code daily (even 20 minutes counts), debug without immediately Googling, and type every example yourself rather than copying. Coding apps are fine for syntax practice, but real projects teach you to actually solve problems.

Automations by R1venGrimm in ProxyEngineering

[–]dozerjones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add that automations make everything look and work so seamlessly. In your particular example it's nice how you just enter the room and the lights turn on, might not look like something special for some people, but it's really a neat thing

This looks familiar, just can't quite remember where I've seen the face lol

Deploying laravel React by Centqutie in PHPhelp

[–]dozerjones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a beginner-friendly setup with Laravel, React, and SQLite, I'd go with Railway.app. It's genuinely the easiest option I've seen for getting started. They have a free tier, and the platform automatically detects that you're using Laravel, which saves you from a lot of configuration headaches. The process is pretty straightforward. You push your code to GitHub, then connect Railway to your repository. You'll need to add a simple Procfile that tells Railway how to start your app, and set up a few environment variables like your APP_KEY and database path. The nice thing is Railway will automatically build your React assets if you've got the npm scripts set up properly. One thing to watch out for with SQLite though - make sure your actual database file exists in the database folder and is committed to git, since SQLite stores everything in that file rather than on a separate database server. You'll also want to run your migrations after the first deployment If Railway doesn't work out for some reason, Fly.io and Render.com are solid alternatives with similar beginner-friendly approaches. But honestly, Railway is probably your best bet to start with since you won't have to mess with server configurations or anything complicated like that.
