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

@randahl no Liechtenshaming, please!

@cR0w Oooh this one looks juicy! Like auth bypass for the thing that stores *everything*?

Sadly gf_256 is not near here, but this is basically the idea behind the the Probabilistic Method in mathematics :)

I'd celebrate #Skype's death with champagne if it wasn't ditched for #!&% teams (yes, lowercase!)

Instead let us enjoy this 2011 presentation about Skype's anti-debug tricks:

I used the Mastodon client hosted at brutaldon.org to connect to infosec.exchange with the elinks browser - the UI is...not great, but I guess it's just my terminal vs the default elinks configs :D

Anyway, you can ditch your uncool, sellout browsers and experience the Fediverse truly freely!

@cR0w You don't need to spin up a server, they have a hosted instance that can connect to infosec.exchange as a client, will post a screenshot in a sec :D

@cR0w Took a while until I found elinks that I briefly experimented with: https://github.com/rkd77/elinks

During my search I stumbled upon browsh, that looks pretty cool: https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh (Edit: meh, it runs FF in the background...)

(Tried neither with Mastodon, just ICYMI)
