  1. Share less personal identifying information online.

Always a good thing. Practicing hygiene in this is important.

I really don't want the day comes when anyone can see you, with a quick scan of your face, then easily trace your location, daily habits or even all your relationships, which I don't think is that hard.

This exists since 2010 or so. Entered the US/UK/EU lately? China? HK? They've had this for more than 15 years and most of the data is acquired through data brokers, meaning anyone can do this.


  1. Use less digital tools.

I'm doing the opposite but with a major caveat: I write most my own tools now. It's doable with some bot help (gotta pick the right bot for the right job tho.) I think the danger is in trusting that code you got online, or even a website, is sufficiently reviewed. It's not. This is where people get rekt lately.


  1. Back up important data, even make physical copies.

If I were to print everything that passes through my notes, I'd need more printers. So maybe divide this by importance, and make sure to have both digital and physical copies of the most important stuff. I lost stuff in a flood once... it's not fun.

That's also good for those interested in tinkering with this.
