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.

A major concern of mine re: LLM use in OSS is that if you can implement anything it becomes increasingly difficult to discard ideas that should not be implemented at all.

I give up: I turned the firewall back on, everything works even after I removed the previously downloaded executable o.O

"The windows firewall can block named pipes even when they are only used for inter-process communication on the same machine." - OK this may be related. Also, WTF?

Now I'm in a nasty rabbit hole, because the Zed server doesn't seem to use /TCP/UDP connections, yet it is somehow affected by the firewall...

Managed to set up cross-platform #Rust development environment with @zed using Windows as a remote host. Some tips:

* You have to let Zed proxy through the Windows firewall (I just disabled it as usual, since this is a lab network)
* The default cmd.exe shell doesn't seem to work with remote tasks (I suspect character escaping error), you have to explicitly set powershell.exe

I was initially concerned about usual Windows SSH shenanigans, but surprisingly my config (with jumphost and an agent) worked flawlessly from Linux.

h/t @raptor for the tip!

@stf gotcha, I think this is in part the balancing I mentioned, "Facebook style" (some constructs feel much weirder on substack than on FB, no clue why), and a common mistake of trying to translate everything to HU. With those updates a minor breakdown may also play a part...
