You need what's known in the industry as a "threat model". You want to be pseudonymous against whom?

Let me offer you examples of answers:

  • A random person on the 'net
  • Someone with excellent Google-fu
  • An investigative journalist
  • Hackers who are not specifically interested in you
  • Hackers who are specifically interested in you
  • Law enforcement
  • etc.

Uhm, probably a random person who has no specific suspicion; they are just curious and decided to spend 10 minutes on google trying to find everything about me. Not an investigative journalist, but let's say an average journalist who has a not very important interview with me on an unrelated topic, and is doing a general background check.
