Instagram - major offender.
I would say use flickr, but that's shitified now.

love the hangup part. so, i can finally "rage quit" the meeting that discusses 99th revision of a doc where a comma should be added here or there.
pkill -9 -f '(chrome|firefox)' is my rage quit, it's like hanging up but hitting the keys on the keyboard as hard as you'd throw the phone down

Coincidentally, large tech companies have been conducting mass layoffs and claim they're going to rely on AI much more to replace junior developers.
Interestingly, chatgpt was unavailable due to the same cloudflare outage.

You’re right, people are plainly commenting based on the title.
The goal has now mysteriously changed to a goal of $4000.
Likely the $3000 was needed to stand up a network that can handle the request load from hacker news.

I used per-account email with alias services and password managers.
Also started migrating old accounts in free time.
Now its pretty easy to tell the source of leak by email addresses as well as sources of spam.

Per-account alias might sound much, but using sieve filtering [1] is amazing, and you can get a comprehensive filtering solution going with 'envelope to' (the actual address receiving the email) + 'header to' (the recipient address you see, sometimes filtering rules don't filter for BCC or sometimes recipients are alias instead of your actual email) that are more comprehensive than normal filtering rules to sort your emails into folders.

Amusingly, I've managed to recover old accounts from emails that contains my old passwords with demands for crypto payment, it just provided me enough help to recall old variations of my passwords.

20-something-ish years ago I setup qmail in my VPS and a .qmail-default file captures all my me-sitename@vps emails. If they send me junk I echo '#' > .qmail-sitename and that's the end of it.
Other things that get a mixture like someone annoying who harvested my ebay/paypal addresses or something, I'll sift out the good (stuff I need) via maildrop and everything else gets junked.
Honestly one of the best, but annoying, things I've done, well worth the time invested as I have a nice clean mailbox.
If you have the luxury, switch to different OS user accounts. mr_shopping for online buying, mr_games for games, .. mr_rascal for you know what. The attack surface isn't any different, but the blast radius might be.

Saw the long passwords are cursed one. Reminded me of ancient DES unix passwords only reading the first eight characters. What's old is new again...

Are there any moderators left at LinkedIn?
Red Hat, I am very disappointed. We're all ISO27001 everywhere, separation of data, and separation of network resources. But you keep our data in your github repo?
GitLab, not GitHub. I think the distinction is that you can have a on-prem GitLab (as well as hosted online). The implication here being that RedHat probably had very relaxed account security.
Also it isn't as if BSD, FreeRTOS, Aix, INTEGRITY, SmartOS, Illumos, QNX,... don't exist.
This is more a limitation on the architecture - virtually nobody has power arch hanging around to play on.
