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

@catc0n If by single source you mean Wallarm, that one is factually incorrect at multiple points so IMO it's best to dismiss as FUD:

Windows SMB client is basically quantum computing: sometimes it works, but if you look at it the wrong way it isn't.

This project by @recantha reminded me that old (IBM) ThinkPad keyboards should be remade into external USB keyboards. Found this /r/ thread with some great links:

This build seems especially nice:

@TarkabarkaHolgy More precisely, the ruling party of #Hungary in a typical fascist move just seriously restricted the right of assembly, and made an example with Pride so they can attack any opponents with homophobic propaganda (that sadly many people still buy). Looks like journalists and opposition politicians are falling to the trap.

Coincidentally at the same time we learned how the central bank gambled away at least a billion EUR(!), but that is somehow not a priority now...

@tychotithonus this is a genius pattern to comply with corp pw policy (unique passwords, 3 classes) for FTP sites without having to remember them!

Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face

https://drewdevault.com/2025/03/17/2025-03-17-Stop-externalizing-your-costs-on-me.html

"Whether it’s cryptocurrency scammers mining with FOSS compute resources or Google engineers too lazy to design their software properly or Silicon Valley ripping off all the data they can get their hands on at everyone else’s expense… I am sick and tired of having all of these costs externalized directly into my fucking face. Do something productive for society or get the hell away from my servers"
