FEDIVERSE DECISION TIME

If you know the type of stuff that I post to BSD Cafe – my "first home" – that doesn't really belong in the Cafe:

― please help me to find a second home

@grahamperrin
I have an account on infosec.exchange and it's a good instance. The character limit is 11,000, search indexing is good, and it has two alternative instances, infosec.town and infosec.place, with threads locked. Almost everyone there is from the infosec community: programmers, open source developers, etc. And the admin, @jerry, is a great guy.

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@crp thanks – infosec.exchange was one of the first instances that I looked at.

> for info/cyber security-minded people.

<https://infosec.exchange/@coleens_/115951490570575835> is likeable, and so on.

Added to my gist: examples of what I'd like to boost today – <https://gist.github.com/grahamperrin/363b63f24e5ae9e65c1c0b7247702e72#examples-of-what-id-like-to-boost-today-sunday-25th-january-2026>. A far cry from what people might expect in infosec.exchange …

@grahamperrin @crp I run a bunch of different instances. Let me know if you have any questions.

[vmstan@vmst.io]

@grahamperrin sad vmst.io isn’t even on the rejected list 🤣

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@vmstan NB the dxamples of what I'd like to boost today: <https://gist.github.com/grahamperrin/363b63f24e5ae9e65c1c0b7247702e72#examples-of-what-id-like-to-boost-today-sunday-25th-january-2026> … IMHO too far removed from the type of content that I would want to post to your instance.

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@Jorsh @FeloniousPunk @LibertyForward1 a quick question, are beige.party posts indexed for signed-in users?

For example <https://beige.party/search?q=opossum&type=statuses> finds nothing for me (signed out), should probably find:

<https://beige.party/@Jorsh/115944900504113633>

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@jerry thanks, I have my shortlist down to two instances.

I currently lean towards beige.party. because whenever I browse its local live feed alongside mas.to, the beige makes me feel better.

Would you like to suggest any other instance?

[jerry@infosec.exchange]

@grahamperrin beige seems like a fine instance.
