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

"You're one of 31,081,179 people pwned in the Internet Archive data breach"

Somehow I didn't feel the same sense of pride with LinkedIn :)

Internet Archive hacked, data breach impacts 31 million users

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/internet-archive-hacked-data-breach-impacts-31-million-users/

As an IA user and donor I'm kind of glad this happened: passwords are properly hashed (bcrypt), there is a chance to improve security.

But anyone who decided they should hack IA of all things can (as we say around here) go and shit out a hedgehog.

@0x4d6165 you must have missed the "against humanity" part in the name

I've been trying to get to a CoF show again for at least 5 years. Last time the event was completely sold out, and I know why: unlike many new (dark) stars of the scene, this band just delivers.

Also, finally they found a proper live background vocalist!

How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan

https://www.apologize.lol/

Also: "We formed a Super PAC and bought the personal voting records of every American citizen from a data broker we found on the internet. It’s pretty fucked up." WAT?!
