+## Information leaks ##
+
+Whilst this will help you adopt a pseudonymous virtual identity, you should be aware of the following information leaks that may still be used to try to identify you, pointed out by @ryancdotorg on Hacker News:
+
+ * Your timezone will appear in Git commits (narrows down location).
+ * Commit times will be leaked (narrows down sleeping/working hours).
+ * SSH client version will be leaked to servers you connect to (shows Linux distro version and patch level).
