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
@me no it just seems that since Linux package managers overwrite its binaries Firefox refuses to open new tabs until it is restarted which is quite frustrating when you are in the middle of something (esp. if you are also in private mode so your tabs/sessions can't be restored).
recommendation is to use Mozilla's distribution+update mechanism to keep the browser up-to-date.
@floyd @evilpie I tried to avoid elaborating on "scale" because it refers to many things in this case, e.g.:
- How easily you can adapt to a new target (vs. AFL)
- How much power is available for the task (GPU acceleration)
- Number of bug classes you can (trivially) aim for (vs. fuzzing for logic bugs)
- etc.
@evilpie IMHO it's very similar, definitely larger scale though
@meowski again, if that is concerning to you, you are free to limit your posts visibility and vet your followers. otherwise, limiting search will not protect you.
@meowski Nobody forces anyone to post embarrassing things on the public Internet. On the other hand many ppl post their thoughts on the public Internet so others can discover and interact with them.
@lain @i @feld It's not only about journalists, I personally spend significant resources to preserve/dig up stuff as needed, all of which should be trivial if scraping wasn't a (really stupid) taboo. This also hurts the discoverability of posts&accounts.
I guess some would prefer hiding in their little bunkers with their chosen friends (and that's fine), but if we want to have an open social network it's probably the wrong strategy to design things around that concept.
