What is the point of a public key fingerprint?
I like that https://github.com/FiloSottile/age has small public keys.

Oh nevermind, age doesn't do any of that. Indeed, it doesn't even do email https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/issues/93

Would you trust a repository made like this to save your secrets?
Why keep something secret on a public repo? Is that not an oxymoron?
Also, I’m terms of encryption something like age[0] makes it much easier to not shoot yourself in the foot.

Looking For Encryption App
Why RSA specifically? For backups, I recommend Tarsnap. But if you really don't want to pay for encrypted cloud hosting, then check out age encryption.

OpenSSL and a rookie (me)
I wouldn't use OpenSSL personally. If you just need simple but secure symmetric encryption, checkout the scrypt(1) encryption utility from Tarsnap. If you need support for public keys, check out age(1).

Can a program be the only thing able to have access to a private key?
You don't have to attach identities to public and private keys. If all you need it for is signing, then check out minisign.

Beginner: how to do basic cryptography for a blog
In your case, use a tool such as https://jedisct1.github.io/minisign/ to do signing/verification. GPG is another choice which is very common. It will produce a "signature" which can be embedded alongside your posts verifying that the text of the post was endorsed by someone bearing the given public key.

Is it worth it to make the move to ProtonMail & VPN?
Claiming it's not ancient because Linux desktop distributions still use it for signing packages is a very odd argument. Most Cryptography experts (note: I'm not talking about programmers, IT professionals or people who know a thing or two about cryptography, I mean actual cryptographers) would agree that we should start using something like signify or minisign instead of the bloated mess that is GPG for signing package repositories.
