Hosting a copy of phpMyAdmin behind basic HTTP authentication in 2025 really is asking for it.
Can you please elaborate how it is "asking for it" if we assume the basic auth password is reasonably complex and kept as safe as, say, the SSH login credentials of the same server?

Regardless of date bracketing, I can miss 80's punk and not miss slam dancing. Maybe someone can list some positive internet culture we got from 4chan that I am overlooking.
4chan is widely known for /b/ but it had and has much more than /b. /b was always known for its murk. Each chan sub category tended to their own niche community and rivalry was little. /f/ in its hayday was a wonderful creative group for Flash animations and with existent of NewGrounds made the internet fun. It's how I learnt flash and how YTMND came to be.

I hope you realize the irony of picking an arbitrary OS theme, something that has no correlation to the Internet in any way, as a meaningful point in the history of the Internet. As I said it’s all arbitrary. I might pick the time around Google’s founding as the early Internet, others might pick Yahoo, others might pick anything before eternal September.
You're trying to argue that 2003 isn't the early Internet. Seems like you're trying to have your "Ackchyually..." moment right now because you didn't know 4chan existed.

The initial leaker is most likely not the same parties as the ones tying email addresses and usernames to people's "real identities", if you look at the thread where the leak was announced. Say what you will about 4chan but I am concerned for the team managing it - them and their close ones are certainly going to be exposed to a whole lot of viciousness soon :(
Damn, the culture they have bred and actively maintained is now going to be turned against them? It might end up making them more sympathetic people on the long term. They might realise the seriousness of what they have done to others.

If the hacker is a state actor then I don't think anyone has learned anything about Free Speech.
Is the source code which leaked everything one would need to host their own copy of the site?

I think anything before Frutiger Aero became popular (and it didn't in 2003) can be considered "early" Internet.
Frutiger Aero didn’t exist before 2017.

Free. In practice whatever a given janny doesn't like gets the boot. The moderation can get REALLY schizophrenic depending on time zone, and there are persistent rumors that certain boards are controlled by groups of interest (notably the cesspool known as /pol/ is very astroturfed).
Free isn't a kind of speech, it describes a condition under which speech is performed. Their question was what kind of speech is being alluded to.
