I actually got it working with cloud storage on hetzner. Wasn't supersnappy, but it worked. I borked the build though and am planning to run it on my home-server
Nextdns price is really good. 20 bucks per year. One can only get so many 5 buck per month subscriptions, because eventually they compound and it becomes just too much. It is the reason I haven't done Kagi, but search is getting worse and worse nowadays, so I might just do it soon.
I'm typing this because I like to see more 1 to 3 bucks a month typs of services.
Nextdns filtering is unmatched imho, indeed they seem to be slowing down a bit, but how much ads and junk it filters would easily speedup any page I guess.
