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
Windows: You can execute stuff by double-clicking
Also Windows: PowerShell is the way to script me!
Still Windows: If you double-click a PS script, it'll open a text editor
@david_chisnall @itgrrl @scottymace "Is there some way of searching them?" I can only speak of Android: here definitely is a system-level option keep a browsable notification history.
@mcr314 @badkeys Source? I doubt someone who makes a mistake like this knows what ECDSA is.
@badkeys My educated guess is they couldn't fit larger keys into their DNS records...
@wdormann I'd agree with that, but I don't know what level of control apps have on mobile.
@Mer__edith
@wdormann As I understand they "knowing why" (as of now) doesn't imply this was *expected* behavior before.
I'd compare the persistent (not self-deleting) messages dilemma to secure deletion: below the next architectural boundary you can't really decide what's happening to your data ("were the bits of that file really deleted from the disk?"), but in special cases you take extra steps to prevent leaks ("let's overwrite a bunch of times, hopefully it helps").
@Mer__edith
@jonny These so called "guardrails" are a bad joke in general, I'm amazed that you have the willpower to wade through this shitspaghetti
@jonny System reminders are sort of genius money printers too - you can find a bunch of issues like this in Claude's bug tracker:
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/21214System reminders also include things like commit history, multiplying the price of every prompt for large repos.
Anthropic also seems kind of reluctant to give users control over system reminders, I wonder why...
