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

@pancake Thanks for the clarification!

@pancake I think we are talking about different things (please provide a link or stg if I misunderstand). When I just launch claude it can and will write at random FS paths for example, because the process has the privileges to do so. Can it do the same if I launch it in a regular old container where the project directory is mounted (it will have access to everything inside the mount ofc but not my whole ~)?

@pancake I get that this is a stronger isolation layer, but why is that necessary? Do agents randomly perform container escapes?

Simplicity is definitely a plus, but that wouldn't require VMs either.

@pancake How is this different from simply bind mounting your project dir?

@airwhale @13reak Ironically, the publisher went out of business shortly after this article (and its follow-up) came out because the no-ads, optional subscription model didn't work out for them...

@jerry yes + they had that likely related fuckup with the not-really-revoked cert, resulting in the compromise of their gov cloud.

@jerry You mean other than the recent MS thing?

"companies spending money with the adtech companies do see returns" - Not necessarily, as measuring conversion rates is not easy. If you see that without G your visits plummet (as measured by G) you go back to G. Recommended:

I'm not familiar with news specifically, but I assume they don't partner with advertisers directly, but through an ad network, which is in the end owned by Meta or G, who can ~arbitrarily set their prices/payouts?
