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.

Related to the network incident, I rediscovered the masterpiece called xbill.

Why don't we have similar memes with Altman, Amodei & co.,?

To follow-up on my #DistributedComputing quest, these kinds of articles tickle my brain just the right way:

A Brief Tour of FLP Impossibility

On the other hand how the Hell do I turn off dark mode so I can actually read the keywords?!?! I'm not educated enough for this much computering!

I had a network issue.

It *was* DNS.

I *can't* say it was #systemd, as it turned out that two-beers-too-much me plugged a cable to the wrong port.

I *can* say though that I could've debugged the issue much faster if systemd gave me any meaningful logs :P

A while ago I asked for recommendations about books on #DistributedComputing.

While far from a book, this summary provides a lot of really useful pointers to follow:

@VoltPaperScissors @inselchaos Still very cool, Pocket Encrypt already looks like a spy gadget (IMO that's really important when teaching cryptography :))!

@VoltPaperScissors @inselchaos Pringles Enigma! Brilliant! Although as I understand the Enigma part is not delivering electricity (yet)?
