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.

Is your SSH key still safe?
> For the ED25519, the key size should be 256 or larger.
This tripped my bullshit filter. ED25519 is 256 bits always: https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/
