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
Tonights pillow-talk with kiddo was about high capacity hard drives (the classics you know):
"Well, a 10TB hard drive would be useful if your grandma wants to save all the holiday pictures, and she doesn't know how to delete... and you have 100 grandmas!"
@dey It's not built-in, it's a 3rd party package called `clap`. For simple stuff Rust is pretty easy, esp. because you have a nice package ecosystem (incl. the pkg manager). But for non-trivial stuff, the learning curve is *steep*.
@pancake Absolutely, that was part of the point actually :D
@pancake I mostly did this as an excercise in Rust, didn't know rax2 can do the same
