And it was absolutely a case of negligent opsec.
I suspect what happened is that I posted pictures on reddit that I also posted on Facebook. A reverse image search links my reddit account to my facebook account, and therefore a real name and name of city. With that, the rest is public information.
It was a wakeup call that the internet contains the best and the worst of humanity, and the worst will come after you at the earliest opportunity.
