Yes, hiding in the masses is better than to tell everyone that you have something to hide :)

so many ideas for blog posts, so little time, lol :)

edit: but somehow, there is always time to reply to people on SN, lol :)

oh I didn't know this 👀 also something interesting I've learnt from a privacy geek friend - creating false trace is often better than trying to hide everything.

You're onto something there :)

[IP addresses are actually quite often not that useful](https://stacker.news/items/355406) but for some people, their IP address seems to be holy to them even though their ISP provider keeps changing it all the time and their ISP provider is basically already "mixing them" with other users ([CGNAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT)) since we've run out of IPv4 addresses a long time ago.
