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
@Yuvalne Can you maybe point me to a forum thread with technical details (what did Signal do/see, that sort of thing) about the failover/recovery?
@Yuvalne @Mer__edith Oh I didn't realize that was happening as Signal recovered at about the same pace as AWS did (also status page shows a binary value so it's hard to tell the overall state)! Thanks!
@Mer__edith Then did your failover fail? Would you be able to handle a similar event in the future based on lessons learned or are there technical constraints to survive DynamoDB going dark?
@Mer__edith How about multi-cloud? Like if AWS fails direct traffic towards GCP (but who directs the traffic ik...)? Do you do this? Is it possible in your case?
@dey but it's so good to be finally back to winter time (brighter mornings)!
