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

...and just as I assumed, this single, idle VM was responsible for 10% of my server load :P

I have a Win11 VM.
I shut it down from its Start Menu.
It restarts.
I shut it down from the login screen right after restart.
"Other users may be logged in to this system" (that just restarted)

Maybe my morning coffee didn't kick in or the product team didn't get their correct dose of drugs.

@inthehands "Safely rewriting that code would take years" is a massive understatement from Wired too.

The IP-law debate around #LLM's reminded me of this old joke:

A cute little girl walks up to the ice cream stand:
- Hello, how much is an empty cone?
- Oh, I can give you that for free - smiles the shop owner
- OK, then I'd like to have 5000 of them!
