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.

@pancake it seems items that I reference from Python are overwritten while I go through a generator...

I think I found the magic sauce of if's, now I get Memory Error which I can debug even less than the previous errors

I'm parsing the #IDA type info library and it turns out:

- Sometimes struct member names are not returned. Sometimes!
- The first struct member is at offset 94488208448328, but amazingly the second one is at 8.

Just in case you wonder why I drink...

@pancake Aren't IDA scripts/plugins closely tied to (main) versions?

I'm all for self-explanatory API's, but you should keep in mind that you have a lot of context to build on in case of your own project that others may lack (as a general observation, I'm not familiar with r2's API).

Re: Ghidra I think it usually comes down to a Java vs. The World thing, and once you accept the fundamental paradigms the API is reasonable. I'm curious though about what you find overly "simplified" there?

@pancake "Gentlemen don't argue about good taste" :) I don't think Ghidra is bad at all (API stability is a good indicator of this IMO), but I have very objective arguments against IDA...

Apparently on #Fediverse - where safety is so critical that you got burned at the stake when dared to say that searching for things would be actually useful - when I block a user or mute a thread they still show up when my client is not in the mood of hiding them?
