We had never run “tootctl accounts prune” since #DEFCON.social came on-line, and it has pruned 110,880 accounts out of our database and storage.
“Prune remote accounts that never interacted with local users”
DC33 planning alert - The #defcon room block at the Fontainebleau is sold out. The blocks at the Sahara and Venetian are filling up. To lock down your own deep #defcon33 discounts visit defcon.org for the reg links.
August will be here before you know it. Make sure you plan accordingly.
See you soon!
We are in the midst of getting ready to migrate our MinIO servers to larger disks 30TB -> 60TB to address unexpectedly running critically low on space. The metadata overhead for all the small files consumed almost 1/3 of all our storage space, and is not reflected in Mastodon statistics!
The first step is cleaning preview cards, trimming them back to 1 year, to get us some head room and buy us some time for the migration. It is pegging a CPU core at 100% and should take another 17 hours. It should free up almost 800Gigs.
We will keep everyone up to date as we progress to more storage Nirvana.

DEFCON 33 CTF Write-Up Series #2: tinii (rev):
After many years of battles with @mhackeroni, I'm blown away to announce that we've qualified for the #DEFCON CTF finals with KuK Hofhackerei this year!
New friends, same love. Couldn't be prouder of this team.
Thanks to @nautilusinstitute for organizing and see you in Vegas!
Congratulations to the top teams who competed in the #DEFCON #CTF hosted by the fantastic @nautilusinstitute !!
I've never had a chance to look at Rust, but DEFCON CTF Qualifications got me to make a few first steps. No flag, but some experience what works how in (remote) code execution and in finding fake flags. Looking forward for the write-ups to learn how to do privilege escalation!
The #defcon33 CTF qualifiers are almost upon us! Keep up with the action at https://quals.2025.nautilus.institute. Thanks to the good folks of @nautilusinstitute for building and running the contest. Godspeed to the competitors. Glory awaits.
