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

Let's see if Fedi is smarter than LLMs:

When we got our first PC a friend installed a bunch of games (Win95).

One of these was a 3D adventure game (maybe 3rd person view?). It was a miracle it ran on that HW and was very low poly. I didn't know English at the time so I have no clue what the game was about.

I remember that could walk around in a village and NPCs occasionally talked to you. Then giant green worms appeared and that's when I usually died :D or the game just went on because the worms weren't very targeted/hostile?

I'd appreciate any guesses on this! I'm not a huge gamer but want to know what that game was about.

@asciimoo @jimothy Also mental health support: no battery -> no doomscrolling, tiktok, etc.! I think you could get an EU grant for this...

@david_chisnall I think part of the problem is few trust that this level of integration between Office and Teams will work, considering the usual issues of each of these components. I'd be esp. concerned about clients running on non-Windows platforms.

@bayindirh @codinghorror ideally, sure! But I'm afraid shops will have to establish some kind of KYC program for rare items to mitigate this behavior :(

@bayindirh @codinghorror That sounds bad, but if they have significant historic value shouldn't their trade be restricted in the first place (aka. "it belongs to a museum!")?
