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

This timeline is truly amazing:

There is an ongoing case in front of the #EU Curia to test #copyright laws vs LLMs:

https://infocuria.curia.europa.eu/tabs/document?source=document&text=&docid=301042&pageIndex=0&doclang=en&mode=doc&dir=&occ=first&cid=489283

This would be pretty boring, BUT the case is based on a story of this guy who became a singer celebrity in the '90s in #Hungary, then a few years ago he gave an interview sky-high on cocaine talking about the awesome dolphins in lake Balaton:

(there are no dolphins in Balaton)

Being the self-promotion genius he is, he actually kept on promoting the deployment of dolphins to Balaton, and (copyrighted) reports of this activity are now part of the court case! Naturally, he also wrote a song about the topic:
