I don't know the answer to your question, but have often thought the same thing. I used to have this saying - at some point you have to take the tinfoil hat off and just "live a little." My thoughts is I'd never make a name for myself if people didn't know who I was. Now at almost 34, I just straight up don't care anymore. I'll never "be someone" and I'm too old in tech to be taken seriously by the movers and shakers.

Not sure where I'm really going with this other than I fully understand opsec, the hacker mindset, cyber security, etc, but I've never really cared to stay private because I wanted to be known. Now that I'm likely as good as I'll ever be, it doesn't really matter lol. If someone finds something I said in poor taste, I'll apologize and hopefully have learned from it and move on.
