I can say that AWS are far too ruthless and efficient with their account deletions to be compatible with neurodivergence. There's a long toot thread a day or two ago that gets into way more detail than anyone wants.
I can also report a happy experience with digitalocean many years ago, and that my account from that time still exists and is fine. So as far as the big names go, they're right in the running.
I've had some recommends from #Skullspace people that are also considered.

So, #SkullSpace, my local #hackerspace, had a network outage yesterday. Someone got in today and determined the cause as, someone appears to have entered the space and physically severed the wires with some sort of cutting implement.
What the actual fuck.

CW: My introduction!
Since I'm pretty new here, and I got a whole pile of new followers last night, I figured I'd post my own #introduction! Peer pressure etc. :)
In my non-professional life, I'm a #Canadian living in #Seattle (been in the US since 2013), I have a cool husband named Chris, and we have two pet #parrots - green cheek #conures (GCCs) named Clang (like the C compiler) and Sharp (like C#).
Professionally, I've been interested in or working in #infosec kinda forever.. in highschool I used to write hacks and cheats for Starcraft / Diablo 2, some of which are on my GitHub profile. They don't work anymore, of course, but you can see what my old C++ code used to look like :)
Then I went to university at the University of #Manitoba, got a #compsci degree, and worked as a programmer before having a bunch of different infosec jobs - most recently, Google and Counter Hack.
These days, I'm a Lead Security Researcher at @greynoise where I spend all day analyzing network traffic to look for vulneraiblities. I get to write them up on GreyNoise Grimoire, give talks about vulns that I think are cool, and do any kind of open source development that I find interesting!
I also develop #CTF challenges, particularly for #BSidesSF. We release everything open source afterwards, so you can run them yourself or see our solutions. I also write about them on my blog - although, since I write semi-professionally now, I don't write much other than CTF writeups there.
And finally, me and a bunch of friends founded a #hackerspace called #SkullSpace in like 2012, which is #Winnipeg's best (also only) hackerspace. I haven't been there forevvver, but I'm still a card-carrying member and look forward to visiting again some day. I also help run The Long Con, Winnipeg's premier community security conference!
It's great to meet all y'all!
