@sickburnbro @lichelordgodfrey I also always assumed it was the psychological trick, that’s why I found it curious when I read that. Not sure how accurate it is but found multiple sources claiming this as a fact.
@freemo I looked it up and it came up from multiple sources:

@stux Oh, that makes sense. Thank you for letting me know.
@stux Thank you so much for sharing.
How did you mstdn.social out of VirusTotal? I could do it on CRDF Threat Center but don't know how I can do it on VirusTotal.
@tchambers Thanks so much for your help.
I have made a post about some Mastodon instances being associated with malware and explaining what I found: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/18688
I think it can be interesting for people who are #mastoadmin + would love to have people from #cybersecurity have a look and share any feedback. Thanks.
@PJFDF @brunomiguel @jpaulostrindade @r3pek @aurocha Also liked it but only used it a couple of weeks when it was first released. So, can't say much about it.
I have decided to commit to a limit on the maximum number of instances or percentage of the Mastodon network that I will host on Masto.host.
You can read about it here: https://masto.host/the-25-percent-commitment/
@pcgaldo parabéns :)
@heldersimao Pois...
@brunomiguel I have a very old laptop that works (not sure how the battery is). I have installed Linux on it recently for a test and it still works. If you ever need something to hack, I can give it to you.
@DJPRMF @brunomiguel I tried Brave Search and was honestly impressed but for things that I search regularly in Portuguese or about local information, it doesn't work.
But it's impressive that they can do a decent search engine without using Bing.

@brunomiguel For email, I am currently using Fastmail, it has been rock solid but it's paid.
For search it's a bit tricky, for local search and language/country specific searches in Portugal I haven't found a single replacement that I can reliably count on without falling back to Google.
Also don't know of a free alternative to Photos. But if you want a "hackish" solution and have an old computer (let me know if you don't) you can always host Nextcloud/Owncloud from home or something.
I am blown away by the results I got from testing SeaweedFS to copy small files 4.8GB (45651 files) via s3.
When compared with Minio it really shows.
Using HDD:
SeaweedFS: 3m28.9s
Minio: 14m15.9s
Using NVMe:
SeaweedFS: 15.5s
Minio: 21.8s
@pedro eu GBs tenho montes, o problema é que não vejo isso em produção mas em testes é superior em tudo. Estou tão tentado a perder tempo com isso.
