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.

@greg @G33KatWork if-let is a prime example of how Clever often beats Readable in Rust Land IMO

(I just wrestled with some code that swear to God was optimized for the minimal number of semicolons...)

"Paprika Csapat" (Team Paprika) ransomed the Hungarian Ministry of Home Affairs (education doesn't deserve a dedicated ministry around here) after dumped a database related to high school final exams (article in HU):

Wonder if perpetrators are in fact Hungarian (as the name suggests), or just using some LLM translator?

@jt_rebelo @0xabad1dea Yes, the system works this way fortunately. But talk to Average Joe and ask him who paid for his tax refund.
