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.

Is it just me of the reliability (as in "shit works as intended") of #BloodHoundAD fell into a gravity well?

@csepp Snaps were the primary reason I switched to Debian, but if you plan to use some independent packaging then it's a different game. Good luck!

@sassdawe @kaoudis I'm explicitly talking about the "demand" for certain phrasing. Using "he" XOR "she" was _demanded_ (pbbly still is) when I learned English, "they/them" for a singular subject was never even mentioned IIRC.

@kaoudis It's probably not a complete answer, a couple of notes though:
- Not everyone in tech is a native English speaker, and many languages don't distinguish between male/female subjects at all! "He" is just an easy word.
- Although I consciously try to represent males/females in texts I write, it's not always easy to determine if a certain scenario is positive/negative and how to associate roles. E.g.: is a typical phishing victim a "he" or a "she"?
- The recent call for gender-neutral phrasing (they/them) actually helped with this, but for a long time it just read weird (at least as a non-native speaker like myself).

@csepp I hate to be that person, but why Ubuntu, of all distros?
