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

@tmr232 @joxean @panther_modern This reminds me of PHP LFI payloads that survived (or appeared as a result of) re-encoding :)

@joxean @panther_modern Polyglots are of a greater concern when it comes to malware distribution I think, and thinking about it, I'm a bit surprised that bigger instances are not on blacklists already because of this...

In case anyone wonders how the Spoutible shitshow could happen, I'm pretty sure the answer involves "the framework".

Nobody is willing (or should) carve out records from a DB by hand these days, ORM's do that boring work for us. It also makes sense to just return a User object (magically serialized to JSON) when someone requests user information. But since the DB record corresponding to the User object also includes all kinds of sensitive data...

Of course, this also means, that no one - not even the developers - cared to glance at the HTTP traffic generated by the API. They definitely should have, but today's webdev happens at way higher abstraction levels, and this is part of the price we pay for the convenience.

Is there a valid use-case for routing packets to a "linkdown" interface?

@simontsui no worries, happened to me all the time until I started using Kagi with Verbatim mode ;)

@simontsui This seems off by 2000 - or am I missing some encoding scheme in these KB numbers?
