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.

@G33KatWork I saw another little girl on the train almost jumping out of her mothers arms pointing out the window:
Girl: Look, look, look, look, look, ....
Mom: ???
Girl: *dramatic 10s pause* A TRACTOR!

Important data point: @kagihq had the recall notice as the first result. Google results look like this:
- Auction site
- Images
- <end of vertical screen space>
- different product of the same vendor
- *recall notice from USGOV*

And the day is not over: Trying to fix some household stuff, I google for parts. First result is a recall notice claiming a dozen incidents with human injury o.O

(The part I was searching for was the cause of the failure too)

One of my favorite #SmallWeb site is this guy's, who documents disassembling the multitude of things he collected during several decades, while also blogging the nuances of everyday life like what he got fur lunch or finding a dead cockroach:

I struggled a couple of hours because my sshfs connections kept breaking, that made my browser hang in many different ways (fuse ftw!).

I suspected my router getting bust, but of course I was wrong. The problem - as always - was DNS.

@stf @clearbluejar I figured out like a month ago how to associate commit e-mails with my GH account so these things are actually visible now 😅

@gsymon incoherency doesn't mean the piece is not understandable, it means the pieces don't connect logically. As I explained above, the current EU decision has very little to do with Meta's AI strategy, or the ad-free model.
