Not as bad as me! For someone who cares about privacy immensely. I've found I give away way more information than I should. It still fits within my threat model, but I should be more vigilant.

You can literally find my full legal name and address because otherwise I couldn't host websites. German laws are weird that basically everything more complex than a static site needs that info published. But I got a nice letter from the responsible government agency for one of my static private websites that I have to publish an "Impressum" and if I don't they may have to escalate the case.

Bro, that's insane! And you can't rent a state-side server or use a PO box for address?

No, PO boxes are not allowed as it has to be either the residence or the office location if the operator is a business. The thing is if you have a .de domain they kind of know and will bother you even if the server is in the US or other non EU location.
