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

@seindal @matdevdug Some doctors in Hungary can do something similar now that authentic notes are stored and shared online, but the expectation is that you go and see the doctor.

The most fun part is since most working adults are generally healthy and this level of healthcare is heavily understaffed many of us never visit their designated doctor (use private healthcare instead) and after a while end up living in far away cities. So in the end we'd travel several hours to see a doctor who is busy with patients actually in need to say that "I have fever" and get a piece of paper.

I started using #Zed for some C/C++ work and I gotta say this is probably the best IDE experience I had with these languages:

- Minimal UI, but important stuff works
- Compilation databases are ingested automagically
- Remote, cross-platform editing (this is **huge**, I still have to figure out remote build/debug though)

As a bonus they even got to disable the Most Annoying Feature(tm) of the editor recently:

@matdevdug I think it's a quite common thing across EU and I hate it.

I wanted to look up how "shotgun" as a reaction is used and after lots of irrelevant results I found this wonderful, barely readable #SmallWeb site giving me the explanation:

Has anyone compared Watts/bug stats of LLMs vs. fuzzers?

@realmurphy @codinghorror @jwz @bovaz @mjg59 The avg internet user relies on social media for news curation, with all the known consequences. I still hold that RSS is good enough, consumerism winning over DIY (let's call it that...) is rooted much deeper than a protocol spec.

@codinghorror @bovaz @mjg59 @jwz Was it really RSS, or the applications built around it? IIRC Google Reader was pretty popular during it's time, until vendors started to push ppl away from syndication (incl. killing Reader) in general.
