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

I know my opinion matters a lot to your webshop, and I'd happily provide it if you didn't require me to:

- spend more than 30s
- answer trick questions
- write essays
- give out my PII

@rikviergever I know it's a weird thing to ask, but you should create a LinkedIn post about this, as most relevant people are over there. I'd be happy to share too to my many bank IT peers (if the damn thing allows me to log in...).

I said it before: scale matters, even for digital/intellectual property.

"Careless big-time users are treating FOSS repos like content delivery networks"

Illustrative joke:

Little girl: Ice cream man, how much is for an empty cone?
Ice cream man: Oh I'll give that to you for free :)
Little girl: Great, then I'll have 5000 empty cones!

Of course, LLMs are another example of this phenomenon.

Tired me: shit my code doesn't handle this special case, how could I be so stupid?

Me after sleep: The code actually handles the special case, I just commented out the relevant part for some reason...

Also #ProTip: Always `git status` after getting back to your after some time

"- Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?

- Well, sure, but not in our commit messages. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines and movies and at ball games, on buses and milk cartons and T-shirts and bananas and written on the sky. But not in commit messages. No, sir-ee!"
