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
@hajovonta There is this part in a novel where the local party leader spills the ballots of opposing candidates to his own ballot box, saying something along the lines of "Once again, the people chose wisely". Then places a handful back to the opponents boxes saying "However, there are still some reactionary elements to take care of." :)
"HEIF Heist is Hacktron's name for a class of remote attack paths targeting services that decode attacker-controlled HEIF, HEIC, or AVIF images"
https://heif-heist.com/Cool finding, but these issues have been around for ages. It's embarassing for all the affected large corps that they didn't care to invest in testing their dependencies and proper sanboxing.
@kaoudis 100%! I recently read that even some of our most respected writers were huge fans of the cheap entertainment stories of the era. Max Martin would have given Beethoven ear worms too (if he could hear it).
[RSS] Quarkdown: Turing-complete Markdown typesetting system
https://github.com/iamgio/quarkdown~~There is a demand for this. Shut up.~~
Edit: actually, this seems really useful, although I don't know why Turing-completeness was chosen as the selling point :)
@frobozz My prediction is that this will be covered by some bullshit about "adjustment" then a few million will be spent on additional guArDrAILs then the next hallucination will cause actual damage. So yeah, not a bad bet.
The future will be much more embarassing for humanity than Skynet
