gotta keep your worlds separated nothing worse than worlds colliding

create a separate persona with your "real" name for "real" life things and use your handle for normal interactions. make sure nothing can tie the two together. register using a domain privacy proxy, use separate emails, separate accounts, the works. if anyone suspects anything deny, deny, deny

daily reminder that solid persec is mandatory in 2017

Put "xyz" studios or "123" suite or something like that. Funny you ask this, same things been on my mind for the same reasons.

I think having simply oneself as the front for whatever one does is limiting incase whatever you do potentially grows into something greater in the future.

I use dozens of identities for different purposes, but when it comes to getting paid in legal tender, I can only use the real one. So I'm publishing my projects under an identity I can safely connect to my real identity. So I should fit in with most people, who have their real name and a generic username they use everywhere. Except I actually know what I'm doing.

I don't have any real advice, just a "me too", kinda. I want to be able to put my writing on the same site as my programming projects, and perhaps use the latter as a portfolio. But, like any sane person, my writing would not be well received in a hyper-triggered environment of $CURRENT_YEAR tech industry, and I don't want to be denied work or witchhunted by a bunch of bluehaired tumblr whales with gauges.

It's ego that makes me want to have my code and writing in the same place. To have a kind of one-stop-shop for my "accomplishments", as it were. But if I want to avoid witchhunting, I need to remain pseudonymous. If I want to use my code portfolio, it has to be linked to my real identity.

I also don't want to have to maintain two different servers and domains. Pain in the ass.

I'd use a pseudonym for your writings, and if they became something great, you could come out as the author. Otherwise, the name takes all the blame.

I use multiple domains on the same server but they share an IP. While I set it up so connecting with the IP puts you on an empty page connected to no site, there are tools to search all the sites connected to an IP. So not a good solution. Here's hoping for an anonymous internet to take over in our time.

Your advice is probably the best course of action.

Yeah, I wouldn't set up DNS A records for 2 domains pointing to the same IP. I'm pretty sure

dig -x

exposes that in as long as it takes to query a DNS server.

Why is blini kot so goregous

im in the same boat op

netpen/opsec guy too

not sure if i want to build the digital reputation (which could lead to you being a target with less privacy)

imagine hacking someone like mcafee (even tho hes a normie)

that gives someone alot of street cred and creates motive for such events

This is one of the reasons it would be nice to be able to move to buying and selling with anonymous cryptocurrencies.

I wanna habeeb this can happen.

do you want a job or do you want to hang out with retards from 4chan? use your real name

>>60772565
I wanna make cool shit and be able to feed myself. Getting a job sucks because you do the shit work someone else doesn't want to do for them, and you compete for the opportunity. With retards on 4chan I can make fun stuff and fun stuff is what contributes to society.
