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

@G33KatWork I don't like cars and I don't know shit about them. This is still highly entertaining!

Cygwin SSHd works of course, but I'll have to figure out project/workspace management for this to be actually useful...

The little devil (notice the vi reference) on my shoulder took over and made me connect #Emacs TRAMP to OpenSSH running on Windows.

Now Emacs is struggling really hard, spinning up the CPU fan 😆

Emacs made me extensively use LLM's to search for answers and watch videos to understand features. This is a first!

I think the reason is that I lack the meta-knowledge about where to look for information. This is in part because Emacs tutorials prevalent in search results don't directly apply to Space Emacs and I don't know yet how to translate between the two worlds.

I think the same underlying issues in part explain the popularity of LLM's and video tutorials. It seems an important personal decision if we deem a topic important enough to invest in acquiring the missing meta-knowledge. It seems an important quality of the tool we use if it helps us acquire the meta-knowledge they provided a shortcut for.

@jerry Wait what happened?

After 6-ish tries with Space #Emacs I managed to:
- Edit a file on a remote server with TRAMP
- Create a new Git Branch
- Commit changes to the branch
- Switch back to my original branch (and revert the buffer to reflect changes)

It wasn't a terrible experience, although my brain hurts a bit.
