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

@osxreverser Reminds me of drug cartels buying trucks and houses to store their cash.

(one of my favorite factoids from this movie is that they said to have spent thousands of $ just for rubber bands to roll up cash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_Cowboys_(2006_film) )

Legendary DJ's reunite, I just don't get why anyone thought this MC would bring any value to the show...

I mean I can shout "Let's go" every few minutes for a ticket and drinks?

@mttaggart @cR0w Business idea:
1) Get some VC money for AI
2) Spend 10% on your salary, so you are set for life
3) Spend 89.9% of it on marketing
4) Spend 0.1% on a script that "predicts" you'll get phished, remote access boxed will be popped, etc. and advice to implement the usual boring remediations ("patch your shit", "MFA", ...) . Now that The AI predicted it, maybe they'll be implemented too!

Win-win!

@csepp From the sellers perspective: if you have the place you probably have the money too!

@Yuvalne Thank you!

@Yuvalne Can you maybe point me to a forum thread with technical details (what did Signal do/see, that sort of thing) about the failover/recovery?

@Yuvalne @Mer__edith Oh I didn't realize that was happening as Signal recovered at about the same pace as AWS did (also status page shows a binary value so it's hard to tell the overall state)! Thanks!

@Mer__edith Then did your failover fail? Would you be able to handle a similar event in the future based on lessons learned or are there technical constraints to survive DynamoDB going dark?
