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.

@4Dgifts "Von Neumann himself attributed his generation's success to 'a coincidence of some cultural factors' that produced 'a feeling of extreme insecurity in the individuals, and the necessity to produce the unusual or face extinction'" (The Man from the Future, the Visionary Ideas of John von Neumann, quoting from Stanislaw Ulam's Andventures of a Mathematician)

Writing a #Ghidra processor module

https://irisc-research-syndicate.github.io/2025/02/14/writing-a-ghidra-processor-module/?ref=blog.exploits.club

"In this article we will create a Ghidra processor module for the iRISC processors, these processors are embedded in the ConnectX series of NICs from NVIDIA/Mellanox."

Not a beginners tutorial, as it skims over many important steps and details, but still good to have more of these as there's always a trick or two to learn.
