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

I'm old enough to remember that - by the great wisdom of the Omnissiah - it is technologically possible to let through requests to your top-up API even if the customer has an expired data plan.

Someone should dig up the STC templates for #Yettel so we can once again harness these marvels of knowledge...

@FuzzyAleks thanks this is exactly the kind of info I'm looking for! I experimented with manually switching polarity and it seemed it sometimes goes backwards but I guess it depends on ~random factors eg the exact position of the permanent magnet relative to the stator?

@woo Yeah I may replace the mechanics entirely + I don't aim for accuracy or even longevity in this project. But the electromagnetic part should work.

Does anyone have experience with driving a stepper motor found in simple electronic clocks in both directions?
