infosex.exchange <3

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

@rickoooooo @embedding_shapes One of my secondary desktop runs NixOS and it's perfectly usable as long as you are willing to spend some extra time to look up docs when you introduce some more serious change (e.g. new HW). "I need to just get something done real quick" is exactly the way junk gets piled up, but IME NixOS educates you to either use a temporary install or setup things in containers/VMs that will probably pay off in the long run (I also have a VM host, so this may be easier to do for me).

I just got reminded that when you start a brand new smartphone the default screen autolock time is around 30s.

This is the attention span vendors are expecting from you.

@imreFitos Yes, this is what I observed before. Now the slight difference is that I know exactly when I closed YT and it was before the last video shown.
