034 - Final Episode

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.
