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

@mttaggart IMO the last paragraph is pretty straightforward: there will be a blob on your disk encrypted with some secret. Ideally this secret is not derived from the user's password because we know how hard to crack those are...

What bothers me - aside this being a ~local keylogger built-in - is in fact a slippery slope argument: "Recall is a key part of what makes Copilot+ PCs special" which implies that they plan to build additional features on it (I expect cloud sync across devices for example) which will open the attack surface significantly.

I'm currently downloading books from Library Genesis I legally own physically *and* digitally because the quality is just that good.

Also download availability/speed really brings back memories of working through a week in DC++ to find and download half of an album in MP3 (and two trojans).

@shellsharks It'll need one of those "AI CPU's" and 50G's of free space (on SSD I assume)...

@Ericlaw @molly0xfff Keyloggers on shared computers only needed to write a text file for example (a friend told me...).

@sassdawe @gavi @anselmschueler @kkarhan I also think it's a stupid checkbox and routinely overrule it. If you are handling secrets like that your problem is not logging.

@sassdawe @kkarhan @anselmschueler @gavi Fun fact: CIS recommends disabling PS transcription because **drumroll** the transcript may contain passwords...
