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

@psa @algernon I'm not fully confident that an 8 years old codebase can handle todays mess on the web...

@algernon Are you aware of any recursive mirroring tools? My searches so far only turned up wget (which is severely limited) and ArchiveBox (that doesn't support full mirrors either) :(

@algernon Does Readeck support full domain mirroring? I can't seem to find a definite answer...

@david_chisnall @lauriewired @kenshirriff I didn't mean offense towards CHERI (or IBM i), I find all of these concepts really interesting even if some of them didn't turn out to be widely adopted or even useful.

(I attempt to reply to all of your 3 replies, hope it won't cause confusion)

First, I don't think I ever argued about scraping public online content, the original CD ripping analogy is about non-free works, and "AI" companies do scrape copyrighted works (e.g. OSS with non-commercial license clauses).

Second, my little joke is only an example of how scale can change how you want to do business with the other party, independently from the goods or services being exchanged (I.C.M. probably won't give away even 10 cones at once, even though their cost would still be negligible). And yes, copyright probably has to change in order to account for the fact that in 2025 information can be collected and processed in unprecedented scale.
