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.

Gluttony Section for Search Engines

I've never felt one with any other movie character like this. RIP, legend!

It's 2025, and I have to prompt an LLM no less than 5 times to figure out how to add a new keyboard layout to Windows Server 2025, becase 1) the UI turned absolutely shit 2) the built-in search is optimized for ads instead of discovering functionality.

Also, Disk Management is gone, and you get no meaningful results for "disk" in the Start Menu. But when you *right click* the Start icon it's there. Why would it be so hard to make this discoverable by search (or leaving a shortcut with the original name)??

To the person who thought displaying questionnaires on first browser startup is a good idea:

You are dumb and literally everyone hates you.

@0xabad1dea Isn't this an EU thing? I read about the same thing in Hungary maybe a week ago.
