Ask HN: How can I prevent myself from being doxxed?

I imagine my practices are similar to many other HN readers. I follow some privacy best practices but don't generally seek anonymity online. You can google me and find my social media accounts, some articles I've written or for which I was interviewed, and figure out what city I live in. That is to say, my online persona is not entirely locked down. Let's say I wanted to prevent myself from being doxxed. What steps could I take to make it more difficult?

Ask HN: What's the best (basic/cheap) backup solution?
3 by marojejian | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I have very simple needs: I want to ensure that, in an extreme case, (e.g. my house burns down) my files (not covered by web services) can be retrieved. So let's assume a TB (or a few in the future), with slow regular upload, and very rare DL access. I want to minimize cost, but also effort in sync (assume limited technical expertise). What's the best option?
