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
@mcc every Spring developer answering any question:
"you just add these 3 lines of code"
WHERE?!
@mcc there is an open issue about this for several years. Drives me crazy!
@Hetti the Schrödinger-Moseley-heisenBerg protocol
@b0rk That sounds like a *very* good reason to get into the nitty-gritty details to me!
@b0rk @rk I guess this is why abstractions are useful? Most programmers never need to learn about microarch internals, etc. Maybe the important part is to know is that "we have a magic box" instead of "this specific but factually incorrect wiring" between components we currently care about?
@cR0w That was my first thought too but the stuff on the table is not typical camping equipment and why do they clean half side if they just play/air?
Anyway, not my business, hope they have a good time :)
@cR0w Thank you! I think I'll just watch Under Siege for the 43. time tonight...
