Did you ever think about how posting current weather conditions could potentially reveal a lot about your location? This probably isn't a concern for most people, but if you are trying to remain anonymous online this could compromise you.

Yeah. Also simply talking about “good morning/night”, or merely the timing of your posts, and what shift you work.

This pseudonym is more of a “locks keep honest people honest” sort of situation, tho. I’ve had it since I was a kid, and I didn’t and still don’t practice the best opsec with it.

My threat profile isn’t really that grand - I’m poor, have a shit credit score, and no authority or connections. I have my credit reporting frozen and I use good passwords and 2FA. Good ‘nuf

I also have found it’s a lot easier to get hired now that I’ve frozen my shit on TheWorkNumber, which is basically a data broker for work history.

That, combined with a service that helps remove you from data broker sites in bulk, plus m good passwords, 2FA, and frozen credit score stuff makes it pretty damn hard for the average bastard to fuck with you.

Always remember: criminals do crimes because they’re easy or fun.

So make yourself a pain in the ass not worth the effort.
