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 @Viss I disagree. Proton convinced US people that their comms will be safe at a foreign provider (them). Were users naive to believe this? Yes, but this is victim blaming.
I agree that Proton is not the only bad provider in the market. Actually, the whole market exists because all the providers communicate dishonestly.
@troed @Viss The ToS will obviously point out these caveats so they won't have troubles in court. What matters is the companies communication (marketing, PR aka. "oUr sERvErz aRe In SwiTZeRlAnd") because that is what people actually see and base their decisions on.
@Viss @bhhaskin @floriann "subscriber information received from the Swiss Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty Unit" - so the FBI basically asked the Swiss police, that got the data and forwarded it back under the umbrella of a long standing treaty between the countries/authrities. This should not be surprising at all btw, but somehow for many VPN customers it is.
Daily fill-the-blanks game:
"[REDACTED] technology is characterised by a constant stream of poorly thought-out experimentation and constantly trying to outdo the competition [...] Therefore [REDACTED] technology is not uniform, lending [REDACTED] a cobbled together and random appearance.[...] Much of [REDACTED] technology is unreliable and sometimes seemingly inoperable to [REDACTED], in some cases only working properly in the hands of an [REDACTED]."
Solution below...
I'm here waiting until the multi-trillion dollar wunderchild of human progress finishes "Finagling..."
Btw. is it me or these pinnacles of technology only ask confirmation for `echo` when they are about to execute `echo lol && rm -rf ~/`?
@iFixit Do you see any improvements on the keycap front? My perfectly good ThinkPads become unsuable because keycaps break all the time and I can only order full keyboards (*if* I can find any!).
