For the HN crowd, if you're looking for highest impact per unit time spent, I'd recommend reaching out to your representatives and public offices (including local city reps), and volunteering to come in for a lunch and learn with the staff. There's an ocean of knowledge between the cybersecurity stuff we discuss here every day and what most staffers (in frankly more powerful positions than yours) have. Spending an hour over sandwiches with staffers talking about what phishing is and answering their questions about whatever they want is a great way to do your part save the democratic process. For example, I volunteered to do a lunch and learn with SF Dept for the Environment. I covered really simple stuff like looking at the url and domain before logging in and how to use a password manager. I also said, "If you have a stupid question you've always wanted to ask, now is your chance." Since you're not their curmudgeonly IT person, some feel more open to asking things they've always wanted to ask but felt would be met with a scoff. These are the people who eventually will interview Zuckerberg. Help them out.
