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.

Linux: Race can lead to UAF in net/bluetooth/sco.c: sco_sock_connect()

What a mess:

“the reporter also did not reply to any of linux-distros’ members questions, most notably ‘have you contacted either security () kernel org or the bluetooth maintainers about this issue?’”

“the issue may be the same as CVE-2024-27398”

@todb @zmanion Based on the post I'm afraid including error detection in new ID's would cause a Hell of a mess at the consumers side :(
