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

@fuzzbomb That's what I call transparency!

Understanding the classical model for linking series by Raymond Chen

The algorithm:

You can override an LIB with another LIB, and a LIB with an OBJ, but you can’t override an OBJ:

@kaaswe For example writing a CV can not only is required to get you a job but also writing one can give you an overview about your skills and achievements that can guide you where to apply in the first place. From an employer standpoint this gives confidence that the candidate won't change their mind and quit after 6 months. Examples from the line of work may be even more important: working through implementing a simple script (instead of quickly generating it with an LLM) can give you ideas about what the hard parts of the problem are, lead to more generic solutions, help when debugging other people's code etc...

@kaaswe IMO it's more of a problem of the general approach to problems optimizing for minimal investment (which usually results in not even considering what other goals there can be).
