Senselessly Tooted Disinformation

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

@krypt3ia Analog has it's own beauty of course. I posted about digital because people around here probably have a digital camera at the bottom of some box that they couldn't make any other use of. Digital is also easier (esp. for kids) and gives opportunities for projects that would be impractical with analog at home (e.g. stop motion).

Old digital cameras turn out to be great for kids:

- They come without all the invasive crap of smart phones
- They boost creativity
- They teach user interfaces and controls outside "push shiny moving button"
- They teach basic software concepts like files (yes, knowing about files is a skill) and how to move them around

And probably more.

Coming up next: MP3 players!

It seems Hungarian education is going so great that one teachers union (we have two of course...) felt that after years of doing nothing now it's time to issue an outraged communique about...

... having to switch to MFA on government portals.

My humble opinion is that these bureaucrats should be reassigned to the job of cleaning dog shit off the streets.

(FD: I have a loving family of teachers)
