it makes me sad when I see people twist themselves in “but opsec!” anxiety knots over things like “I can’t post that I had a nice birthday party this weekend, then strangers on the internet will know that I was born in approximately mid-June!”
my sibling, there’s only 365.25 birthdays and we all have one, yours is in hundreds of databases that have leaked dozens of times, and whether strangers on the internet know you had a nice birthday party with your friends or not has absolutely no bearing on any risk of any kind, you’re just performing trauma your mom gave you in 1996 when she heard there were kidnappers on the internet
unless you really ARE the one leading the resistance or whatever, in which case @‘ing me to tell me how wrong I am and how much opsec you need is not very good opsec

I would like to offer a counter proposition...
- instead of only having one birthday...
Maybe people should consider posting about their birthday at least once a month... and lying to as many of the companies that sell your PII as possible... so that each database has a unique DOB in it.
In the immortal words of that one cartoon character:
"I am 30.. and/ or 40 years old!"
P.S.... I am not leading the resistance... but I definitely shit post about it quite frequently. ;-)
