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.

@jk I had the pleasure to report to a project (can't recall which) that had a Design Guide, so I could point out how certain elements contradict their own principles. surely enough, they didn't give a F.

@cR0w @Sempf Correct, `apt install` -> `apt-get install` but `apt search`->`apt-cache search`

@goldentooth I'm not talking about distro package managers, but ones like Cargo, NPM or uv.

@goldentooth I don't see how that would matter in any way.
