Tell HN: Consider listing your contact details 2 by cpach | 0 comments on Hacker News. TL;DR: Consider listing your contact details in your HN profile! There are lots of interesting conversations happening here on HN. But sometimes people might want to continue the discussions even after threads fall of the front page. Have you considered listing your contact details on HN so that people can get in touch with you more easily? If you want to do that, please note that it’s not enough to fill in the email field on your profile. Only the HN admins can see that field.

I'm sure some of your heard about what's happening in my country, Tunisia. (tldr: the president made some 'unconstitutional' moves to thwart rampant corruption. Five days later, everything seems fine ... for now). Even though it seems the president is keeping his promise on freedom of speech, I don't think it would be extravagant to get prepared for the worse. So, what should I do to keep myself safe online? Edit: I'm not worried about my physical safety, I'm just asking about protecting my privacy online if the government decides to go full on Big Brother. P.S.: I tried to submit this question with a throwaway account, for obvious reasons, was told to "please slow down".
