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.

This was driving me nuts: Even though I set #Firefox to always ask where it saves files, sometimes when I accessed PDF's it saved them in my Downloads directory without question.

It seems `browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir=true` solves this problem but I still can't wrap my head around why they implemented this exceptional behavior (and why there is no visible setting for it).

@badsamurai Great initiatives! Unfortunately they actively hinder C-levels blowing their remaining yearly budget in order to ask for more next year, so they won't happen.
