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
@mwichary They present technology as an instrument for art, and you get to play with literally everything (we spent the opening hours in full then went back the next day for more). On the flip-side the items are not very well documented, so you often stop scratching your head what a thing actually is - they are really helpful though and I think this also adds to the "magic" of the place.
@schrotthaufen I certainly argued with very intelligent people about this...
@mdfranz "When API’s go away, and it’s all a federated MCP mesh." This must be one of those people who - despite working in IT - has always thought of APIs as some magical thing beyond human comprehension, but fortunately MCPs will now finally make everything clear and simple!
... the README says "the most useful feature is X". I try X, absolute garbage. I look at the code of X: the only relevant piece of data is simply not included anywhere in the computation. ffs
(no I won't open an Issue/PR, let them figure out themselves...)
@troed I guess it's fine for ad-hoc tools, but I'm looking at code with many stars on GH rn. It works. Sometimes it freezes. Everything is redundant, identifiers don't describe actual purpose but something else, functions are prohibitively large. No one will be willing or able to maintain this shit for more than 6 months.
The general code quality of hacking tools has always been shit. Thanks to LLMs now it's somewhat worse.
