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
@amanda @b0rk Cross references, yes! How do I use those? Also, I just looked at `man man` and noticed that there is no ToC ("Is there even something about hotkeys in this thing?").
@sassdawe @ludicity 100%, I definitely not meant to piss on sw engineers in particular, median skill isn't great industry-wide.
@b0rk I miss a hotkey to search for "identifiers", e.g. if I want to search for `-x` I don't want to see `-X --xenomorph`. The situation is even worse for one character identifiers/symbols (think tmux, bash, etc.).
I also find it impossible to remember section/page arguments (argument order + what number means what in `man N printf`).
@ludicity I worked mostly at (pen)testing and have always been astonished how basics of basics were unclear for many people (e.g. "does this code run on the client or the server?"). My opinion in summary is that the general quality of sw engineering/ers declined since managers figured out they can bill by the hour instead of fulfillment under the guise of "agile" (see "I'm gonna write myself a new minivan this afternoon").
