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.

The V8 Heap Sandbox by Samuel Gross

Finally managed to watch this (h/t @swapgs for the reminder), some things that struck me:

  • Browsers are OS’s and now they demand CPU features for security
  • We need security boundaries that are testable - so happy to see this concept implemented at such a fundamental component!

Also, make sure to watch the Q&A part :D

@stacksmashing Seriously, this was one of the rare talks when a really distant concept (even though most of the audience could be safely categorized as "hackers") was described in a really approachable way and I think most of us SW ppl left the room smarter. Thank you!

@TarkabarkaHolgy I don't know how "adult" these tales are, but if at least some of them could work for my 8yo, Hungarian would be nice.

Otherwise, English is also good.

@sassdawe @TarkabarkaHolgy These aren't exactly folktales are they? :)

I'm rediscovering fantasy these days, so thanks for these recommendations anyway!
