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
@troed @singe Yes, in case of Pandoc I think a nice collection of unified styles would be great.
pandoc-templates.org is a good start, but each template works differently as they are maintained by several people for several purposes.
@alios @troed I think static site generators are overkill for my use-case: I don't want to edit config files or maintain a Git repo. The optimal solution would be a command line utility that takes a style name and one .md file and outputs one HTML file, simple as that.
@singe Pandoc would be great but I'm yet to find a project that provides nice styles *and* documents how to use them with Pandoc.
I need a tool that can generate self-contained HTML pages from
#Markdown with different styles.
markdown-styles looks really close, but I wonder if there are alternatives (preferably not requiring NodeJS):

@b0rk Not exactly, but a privileged binary can take it granted that `ls` always executes `/bin/ls`, but runs an attacker provided executable instead (very stupid, but real example). Now this usually happens without switching a "PATH provider", but my gut feeling is that having "one central place" for PATH processing would've prevented at least some of these issues.
@b0rk I think exploits passing e.g. PATH=. instead of the expected system value (e.g. via misconfigured sudo) can be called a "problem" :)
@virtualabs I have no clue but GH discussions are regularly answered by devs, usually worth to ask there too.
