    The most common way for internet sleuths to doxx you is by identifying reused usernames or emails. Never reuse a username. Turn it into an improv game where you get better at coming up with usernames on the spot. Use throwaway emails when possible.

    Also, I would add a section on threat modeling. None of this stuff is anything you can adopt all at once overnight. It’s a gradual process that will drive you mad as you learn more about how impossible it is to keep your setup “pure”. Threat modeling is important because it turns your vibe-based assessments and anxieties into tangible goals. What do you want to protect? How might it be attacked? How can those attacks be mitigated? Are those mitigations worth their costs?
