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.

@tychotithonus My problem is that on Linux they don't even try to connect to the device, and since passkey support on Linux is shit, they essentially disable HW key 2FA for all Linux users. I'm so mad about this.

I could not find an existing phrase so I'm inventing a new one:

"Yes Man Design" is the principle of implementing a system so it always reports desired results and hides any errors. This often serves to achieve faster adoption than competing, more honest designs, forcing out alternatives.

I use the #LLM tag for no particular reason.

@tychotithonus did they start supporting normal webauthn without passkeys again??
