Switch lmgtfy to our own fork of NatoBoram/lmgtfy

Open Jackenmen opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Let's use this by forking it, deploying our own version through GH pages, and then finally switching the command to use it.

I've come across this project and has a demo we could use, which, doesn't track you, and actually redirects you to Google. https://github.com/NatoBoram/lmgtfy

You can use my instance if you want (I honestly never tried github pages so idk how to set it up) https://lmgtfy.lena.moe

Alternative I've also made a cog with custom endpoint command https://github.com/DJTOMATO/glas-cogs/tree/main/googleit

I purposefully said that we need to fork it since I want to keep this in our own infrastructure to ensure that it's reliably available.

The fork is up, some references still need to be updated but it is already deployed: https://github.com/Cog-Creators/lmgtfy

What about moving it to lmgtfy.discord.red?

It is a possibility if @Kowlin is up for it but I was trying to limit the maintainer time needed to proceed with this.

I updated references and added a more proper copyright notice to the page, #6269 can now be merged once it's reviewed.
