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
I guess Taszk tweaked their RSS a bit and a bunch of Mediatek reports fell into my reader. Some of them are old, these are from 2025:
CVE-2025-20725
CVE-2025-20726
CVE-2025-20727
CVE-2025-20678

The QoS of this web server is apparently configured so that it gradually decreases my connections bandwidth so that my downloads ETA doesn't change.
@tychotithonus As I see "this other thing" usually doesn't break everything. But if it breaks DNS, everything breaks, so DNS has a significance IMO, esp. because people often overlook this component.
@cynicalsecurity My grandfather used to say that the problem with computers is that they do what you tell them :)
Surprise: it is DNS.
#AWS
AWS is down, but the Fediverse still keeps shitposting 💪
Yesterday by *total accident* I went to the concert of a band that inspired some of the favorite bands of my youth. They play very rarely and I didn't even think about going out, but ran into some friends and one thing led to another...
It was incredible, and put "age" to a new perspective.
