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
@zcutlip I pulled my hair a lot because of that pile of shit until I found this article and while the tech remained the same, at least I started to understand the idea behind it:
"makes perfect sense when you are in the business of breaking stuff so people have to pay you for fixing it."

@zcutlip That "security" is sometimes "job security": no one in their mind would use JSF (that produces the exact behavior you describe) unless they can bill by the hour after they locked in the bank with their software built on a (brain)dead framework.
"The benefit of having an actual memory space for special function registers is they can be seen, named, references created to them, data types applied at the location, as well as default values supplied for a given binary sample. We plan to do the same for other processors such as the PowerPC."
I hope this is the reason why my PPC-AS pull request is open for more than a year now :)
@bontchev @adamshostack My favorite example: programmers are taught to use prepared statements, so at first it seems their app doesn't have any SQLi's. Until they add a feature where the user controls result set ordering: you can't use bound variables for field names, so there's a vuln 90% of the time (IME, with wildly different dev teams).
@pancake That's terrible and unfortunately far from unique. Sorry for your mom :(
@LukaszOlejnik they are already using it in Hungary (elections next April), I can collect some articles if interested. But I think you are overestimating the sophistication: we just see the dumbest made up lies, not any form of political argument.
