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.

#Geoinformatics geeks: why is it a hard problem to make all street names visible on a given window over a map?

This is an old support request of mine:

https://kagifeedback.org/d/8256-missing-street-names/8

... but I'm struggling on a weekly basis with this problem using different maps.

@electret @lrhodes Ahh you mean the smaller players like Obsidian ! I bet they can absolutely see your shit, but they may be legally constrained in what they can do with it (maybe... have you read the TOS?). Granting access to an LLM most likely changes your Terms and Conditions (not because it's a technical necessity, but because of the business model of the LLM provider).

Btw this is a useful site:

@electret @lrhodes Honest question: What on Earth made you feel that way? I see absolutely zero indicators of privacy in any mainstream LLM app (similarly to Google/Meta).
