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.

@securestep9 It looks client-side so you could get the same info from dev tools no?

#Windows experts, can you answer this without trying:

How many times do you need to press the down arrow to select C:\Users\Public?

Session timeouts[1] provide great examples of #compliance disconnects from reality:

When booking for events it *always* takes *days* to get from registering for an event and getting there to show your QR or whatever. And while an attacker who hijacks your session has 0 benefit from accessing it for a prolonged time, somehow #security finds it crucial that users are auto logged-out after 30mins.

It would take just a *tiny* bit of thinking to avoid making things worse for everyone.

Re: this one I'm still curious how I could tell which document node triggered a network event (denied, with an img Initiator) I see in dev tools. I can't find the corresponding URL by searching in Inspector, DeepSeek hallucinates all the solutions, maybe @freddy has a tip?

#Firefox

@jerry @dey I count HTML as code...

@jerry @dey I can see the Initiator is an img, but I can't find anything seemingly related in inspector + network rectord don't tell me what code initiated a request. That's the status.

@dey @jerry But I'm not using Mastodon, this is an Akkoma instance. And this only happens if I scroll back to the point in my timeline when I first got this notif. It'd be really weird if this behavior didn't trigger at around page load.
