Darker doesn't always mean blacker. Symbolically, a blood moon is "darker" (as in "ominous" and "eerie") than a new moon. The red color has many meanings, ranging from passion to wrath. Even after science emerged to explain such phenomena (the red color being just the longest wavelength part of visible electromagnetic spectra, the blood moon being just a combination of physical and astrophysical factors such as Rayleigh scattering and planetary alignment, etc), the blood moon still gets a "bad omen" vibe nowadays, a vibe that's absolutely not present during new moons (it's worth mentioning that they happen once or twice every month, differently from a blood moon which is a somewhat-rare event).

As a Brazilian, not much. Throughout my entire lifetime, I saw some Brazilians there and there wearing Halloween costumes but it's not as popular here as "quermesses" (kirmess, church fairs, happening mostly on Brazilian's interiorian towns), Carnival, Christmas or some "important" soccer game (such as Corinthians vs Palmeiras, or Flamengo vs Fluminense).

To me, particularly, no holiday (nor soccer games) holds any importance or meaning. In the end of the day, it'll be just capitalism mesmerizing people to spend money on temporary things.

Rumble - [...] I think it’s funny that it has been blocked by some countries

Rumble is blocked here in Brazil, not because Brazil blocked it (although there was once a strife between Rumble and Brazilian Supreme Court due to a half dozen far-right influencers) , but because Rumble themselves blocked us.

Try DuckDuckGo AI Chat, which offers both ChatGPT and Claude (as well as Llama and Mixtral) anonymously and free. They lack the capability of searching the web, but they don't seem to have the same daily limit as official OpenAI's ChatGPT / Anthropic's Claude have.

Also, the free version of Google Gemini seems to have no daily limit as well, but unfortunately its responses are so lazy.

Personally, I highly recommend Llama, because 1) it's open source 2) its responses seem more complete 3) it's totally free.

On my laptop, Brave for non-"personal" things (such as fediverse, SoundCloud, AI tools, daily browsing, etc) and Firefox for "personal" things (such as WhatsApp Web, LinkedIn, accessing local govt. services, etc). On my smartphone, Firefox for everything (I disabled the native Chrome).

I've been using Brave in a daily basis because it's well integrated with adblocking tools, especially considering the ongoing strife regarding Chromium's Manifest V2 support, where Brave nicely stands keeping its Manifest V2 support independently of what Google wishes or not.

Firefox is also good, but I noticed that, for me, it has been slightly heavier than Brave. So I use it parallel to Brave, for things I don't need to use often. For mobile, it's awesome, as it is one of the few browsers that support extensions, so I use Firefox for Android, together with adblocking extensions.

I dunno... It slightly remembers me of Terraria soundtracks. Or RuneScape. I played them a long time ago, so I can't exactly remember.

Also, Odyssee (at least Louis Rossmann, I follow him through Odyssee)

I don't know if I'm allowed to share here, but there's an... how could I say... alternative... archive snapshot, from the moment when the paywall weren't in place yet... It's available today at a site that are known for archiving things. 😀

remove the limits for ‘trusted’ advertisers

Exactly.. Including themselves, as they are a major player in advertising market (Google Adsense).

What if you close the app through drawer, and then relaunch it?

John O'neill always wonder why there are all these strange computer errors around him when he is about to sign up something. Oh, John O'neill, poor guy...

Back in the days I had an ISP that offered me IPv6 network, it was really easy to self host things over the internet, because IPv6 is unique to all devices, so the server had its own IPv6 global address, which I could access from anywhere with IPv6 connectivity. No more dealing with port forwarding (considering that the ISP didn't block the forwarding of ports). Just a firewall setting and voila, the service was accessible. It's that simple.
