Description

In this final episode of The Lockdown, I reflect on the journey of the podcast, and explaining why I’m redirecting my energy to other projects. I discuss the importance of practical privacy measures, measures over an ‘all-or-nothing’ approach, as well as sharing my thoughts on threat modeling, and address several listener questions about privacy tools and self-hosting. I also introduce a new concept from my recent blog post about the “space between” in cybersecurity, examining how compartmentalization of identities can serve as an early warning system against social engineering attacks.

1. Why this is the final episode
2. The all-or-nothing fallacy
