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

TIL Burn in Noise and Ajja has a collab called...

AdTech should hire the dev who implemented the tab mute button in #Firefox. This damn thing attracts my cursor like a rare-earth magnet!

I just dug through a 9MB JSON to find a direct message I sent here, only to find the corresponding object link to be non-existent. Fortunately I had an accurate timestamp, that helped me dig up the message on the UI after about 5 minutes of constant scrolling.

All this because some genius thought that preventing me from searching my own stuff will prevent online harassment.

@caspicat yeah that too - google even has a special "wont tell you why we dont index this" code on search console. But I'm also talking about docs where you get like 3 examples but no API docs.
