I came across CalyxVPN while browsing through F-droid, it seems to be offered by the same people who make CalyxOS. I couldn't find much discourse about it online, is it reputable enough to use?
My use case would be to hide whatever I do online from my ISP (I'm not torrenting, just browsing).
And yes, I know free VPNs are untrustworthy in most cases but this seems to come from a somewhat privacy respecting background so I was curious.
A lot of folks suggest getting your own domain name for having control over your online presence but the question that I have always had is what would happen to them when I die?
Wouldn't the domains eventually expire and anyone else would be able to register it and access my email attached to that domain? With that email, they can theoretically get into all my accounts which don't have 2FA on (a lot of the sites just don't have the option to turn on 2FA) via the 'Forgot my password' services?
Similarly, if I have a blog or website that I have poured my heart and soul into for my entire life, wouldn't that just go down forever when the domain expires? Maybe services like The Internet Archive would help in that regard but I don't know how many people are actively searching for an archived version of a website when they can't access it on it's actual domain.
I understand that after I die, all of this wouldn't by my concern and wouldn't matter but I still think about this a lot.
To the people who have their own domain, email and/or blogs, what are your thoughts on this?

Over the past days, two popular chat services have accused each other of having undisclosed government ties. According to Signal president Meredith Whittaker, Telegram is not only “notoriously insecure” but also “routinely cooperates with governments behind the scenes.” Telegram founder Pavel Durov, on the other hand, claims that “the US government spent $3M to build Signal’s encryption” and Signal’s current leaders are “activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad.”

Currently, I'm just using the default 'Drive PDF Viewer' on my Android devices, would love to switch to something FOSS and non-google. Any good recommendations?
If it's available on F-Droid, that would be preferable.

Did you realize that we live in a reality where SciHub is illegal, and OpenAI is not?
