You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance

This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.

Discoverability and Archiving

Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.

Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.

Gluttony Section for Search Engines

@jerry Congratulations! :)

@paco For random websites, sure, not my business.

But this is software clearly meant for an international audience.

(in the other thread I learned that the linked web page is not even the web page of the software, so linking it as the homepage was probably not a good idea)

Thanks for the explanation, truly appreciated!

I guess you can't do much about it now, but IMO French could've been excellent for finding a unique name (not necessarily with your weirdest spelling, but people learned to spell "kubernetes" too).

We agree that the homepage link is actively misleading, but it should be easy to remove (not a mandatory field) or replace e.g. with the link to the documentation.

@Di4na These cute little guys from the README disagree with you (image file name: europe_opensource.png):

@Di4na Even if what you said was true, doing open-source implies that you are willing to collaborate with people all over the world, not to mention that afaik French users also use search engines. Hell, even our asshole far-right government makes almost all .gov.hu websites available in English.

@Di4na "Docs is the result of a joint effort led by the French 🇫🇷🥖 (DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS).

We are always looking for new public partners (we are currently onboarding the Netherlands 🇳🇱🧀), feel free to reach out if you are interested in using or contributing to Docs."

Coincidentally, keyboard suddenly stopped working in LibreOffice, so I'm sorry but I'm off to GDocs!

It's great to see #EU open tech initiatives popping up, but somehow it feels like we are just **terrible** at making ourselves visible, esp. compared to US.

Like how is anyone supposed find this (otherwise great) project - named "docs" - using a search engine?

https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/

Even assuming I find this project, how do I search for anything related to it (e.g. install guide)?

Why is the homepage in French by default, without a clearly visible language switcher (also looking at you, @Framasoft )?

@DGutie @xabd Thanks, that's exactly why I don't really see the use-case for this. Even considering the 1-click deployment options - if you know those services, you can write 20 lines of HTML (that will not even look like everyone else's linktree).
