I would say use flickr, but that's shitified now.

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

Interestingly, chatgpt was unavailable due to the same cloudflare outage.

Imagine vibe coding something in production, it breaks half the internet, then you can't vibe code it back because it broke the LLM providers. A real catch-22 for the modern age!

Likely the $3000 was needed to stand up a network that can handle the request load from hacker news.

Now it's $4560 on the way to a goal of $8000.

Great look, guys. You're fooling... somebody, apparently.

> I used per-account email with alias services and password managers.

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.

did exactly same. the only difference is that i use compromised emails to train spam filter

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.

At this point better going directly with Qubes OS, where each program is a separated VM, no?

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...

> Last week, I got a LinkedIn message

Are there any moderators left at LinkedIn?

The profile named by the OP has been taken down since.

Don't expect LinkedIn to care much about policing messages or paid invitations; and many profiles are fake. At most, you report people and if they LI enough complaints they take the profile down. (Presumably the scammers just create another profile.) I think LI would care much more about being paid with a bad CC.

I suspect LI is doing AI moderation by this point. Maybe we could complain to their customer-service AI about their moderation AI...

Moderators don't see private messages.

You can report abuse and flag it for someone to review, though.

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.

They do, whilst they have a minor user base. If they become the majority they'll lose funding.

So from Mozilla's point of view, they must be continually worse alternative. They'd shoot themselves in the foot if they looked like the better alternative.
