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

@jonny @danluu These are unfathomably large numbers so to get a grip I looked up Shell's yearly profits (x*10^10 USD where 0<x<4), and with a wild estimate it'd take ~50 years for them to pay off this kind of money (while not investing in anything else)

A bunch of local companies had an incident when a datacenter fire triggered the an extinguisher without proper nozzles installed and the shock wave of the gas killed a bunch of HDDs at one.

Now I wonder if I should move my speakers further away from my desktop machine...

@sassdawe It's just a guess, but Yubico seems to have something similar to what I have in mind: https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/secure-disk-for-bitlocker/

@sassdawe Can't you use an external hw token that you could just touch when needed?

I just noticed a maybe lesser emphasized parental instinct: letting children do stuff very inefficiently.

Helping in the kitchen, driving a screw, planting a flower.

Because that's how we learn things and improve.
