I don’t think duckduckgo has a cached view (since the results tend to be a mix of the in house crawler and other sources, like bing), but I like cachedview.com for accessing Google’s cache (or the archived instance if Google doesn’t happen to have it).
Oh, for sure! Reddit was the only thing making Google searches tolerable. I have a feeling it’s only going to get worse before it gets better. Lemmy seems to be growing rapidly though, so with any luck it’ll become the go to site for searches.
In the meantime, have you heard of Archive.org? It’s a giant archive of things on the internet, it’s a phenomenal resource for deleted Reddit posts or comments (I’ve found that old.reddit links tend to work better because of how comments are loaded). Google’s search cache is also handy (especially if no one thought to have the page you need archived, but Google keeps directing you to it). It’s a fair bit faster than Archive.org and usually has what you’re looking for if google directed you the the page, but it can be hit or miss for older content because it’s less of an archive and more the last time the search engine looked at the page. CachedView.Com makes it super easy to check both and has been invaluable the last few weeks.
Right? I tried to switch my primary computer (framework laptop) to Linux earlier this year and ended up going back to windows after I had absolute nightmares with my type-c KVM. Coupled with performance issues while gaming (and the absolute hassle of having to force games to use my graphics card). Add in whatever random issues I was getting trying to remote into other windows machines on my domain (for CAD work). My day job is in software engineering/ programming, so I’m not exactly a stranger to digging through documentation and fixing computer issues, but spending time fixing my computer instead of using it got old pretty quick.
Perfectly happy with Linux in my HomeLab and on my steamdeck though!
