I really want to make my own anonymous blog, but I am scared that someone will expose me after I write there something recognisable. 😒

    Your blog would have to be extraordinarily popular for someone you know to find it and then piece together your identity from its content.

    That’s a problem most bloggers would love to have.

    don't be afraid, just do it. give a fuck on people, that could read your blog and know you personally and might to screw you. make things, what you love to do. Don't stop of anxiety. Show your skills. There are the ones, who like your shit and the ones who doesn't like your shit, that's it.

    Fun story for ya (and those who say it's pretty hard to trace you unless you're famous):

    Many months ago, the admin of my mining pool sent a picture with the view from his office (an average skyscraper).

    Out of boredom, I decided to try to find which building it was taken from. All I knew was the city it was taken in. 5 minutes later, I had the answer.

    He then challenged me to figure out what floor it was taken from.
    30 minutes, some pixel counting, and some napkin math later, I correctly guessed the floor it was taken from (as well as the height from the ground :o).

    I didn't want to go any further, but I could have easily tried to figure out the company he works for, and - knowing his position - probably his personal info too.

    Lesson: be careful with what you share online, and try to think of how it could be traced back to you.

    @endor wow! Could you explain a bit more detailed how you have figured out which floor it was? I think this whole thing is pretty cool!

    @lucaIO it's more fun when you figure it out! :P
    There's actually multiple ways, depending on the info you have available and what you can actually see in the picture.
    In my case I had very little, so I had to do some eyeballing and some careful educated guesses, but you can still get an answer within a good margin of error
