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

@badkeys My educated guess is they couldn't fit larger keys into their DNS records...

@wdormann I'd agree with that, but I don't know what level of control apps have on mobile.

@wdormann As I understand they "knowing why" (as of now) doesn't imply this was *expected* behavior before.

I'd compare the persistent (not self-deleting) messages dilemma to secure deletion: below the next architectural boundary you can't really decide what's happening to your data ("were the bits of that file really deleted from the disk?"), but in special cases you take extra steps to prevent leaks ("let's overwrite a bunch of times, hopefully it helps").

@jonny System reminders are sort of genius money printers too - you can find a bunch of issues like this in Claude's bug tracker:

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/21214

System reminders also include things like commit history, multiplying the price of every prompt for large repos.

Anthropic also seems kind of reluctant to give users control over system reminders, I wonder why...

@TarkabarkaHolgy I'm actually glad I was reading to kiddo when Orbán announced defeat: politics didn't infect our lives *that* much.
