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

@azonenberg We also did the D&D in bed thing, but arguably less weird versions (maybe because we were friends, not siblings?) :D

/cc @TarkabarkaHolgy may find the topic fun too :)

@acsawdey it's complicated... if you squint, pointing out bugs is a form of help, but the P0 disclosure process (designed to incentivize other large corps) doesn't seem to work with highly popular, but underfunded OSS.

I don't know the solution, but shiting on individual developers code is probably not it.

"Last week the @FFmpeg account began taunting security researchers. Foolish thing to do, as it ignores the asymmetry of their attack surface vs ours.

So as an exercise I found a stack-based buffer overflow on software that he wrote." - @ortegaalfredo

@Viss That memory probably also comes from the mushroom colony that is consuming you right now.
