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
@nicemicro Yes I also have concerns about how restrictions could be implemented in practice.
Thank you, it's good to see that civilized arguments are still possible online!
@david_chisnall @kenshirriff Just for the record, I find this part of AS/400 history pretty fascinating (from Inside AS/400, by Frank Soltis) :)
@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.
