But frankly, my interest in #YaCy is because of its peer to peer nature. I understand it wasn't good enough to run a search engine business with it. (As Sarchy found out.) Its results weren't great anyway.
A #YaCy dev has an idea: peers can use #S3 buckets to store and share their index data.
I see one flaw right away: every peer would need to run a second VPS (and possibly more) with #min.io to provide the storage backend ... or rent such storage from Amazon or other cloud vendors.
