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.

@wdormann @christopherkunz @jhr77 Vuln mgmt is hard, e.g. how you track patch coverage vs. signature update status? Not that pushing a sig was a bad idea, I'd just expect a KB for this too.

@wdormann @jhr77 @christopherkunz I don't see a Defender entry in today's update that also points to this being a signature based mitigation

@ekuber Having a chopper to call when you go hiking is definitely nice :D I don't quite get how the principles apply here though: in your opinion, for this particular example, would it be right to require all traits by ::new()?

@ekuber Don't get me wrong, I'm positively amazed by rustc messages in general, and this one is no exception. On the other hand I also like to see how I should approach the API I'm about to use, having a map about the code base before I go down a path that just won't work. I feel like relying on the compiler is like periodically calling a hovering helicopter to get out of the woods, instead of having a proper $5 map.

@stf "might affect cryptology at some future time or (more likely) in some other world." I forgot about this one lol

"This is an elegant use of Rust's trait system to separate construction from operation, with compile-time guarantees that the right capabilities are available when needed." - LLM

Except both me and my IDE are in the dark about what kind of object Foo::new(obj) *really* expects until I get the compile error?

(Foo::new() only prescribes EasyTrait, but Foor::bar() requires TrickyTrait)

@raptor I like to believe that people just deeply care about security researchers and they don't want to see us starving :)
