dess you recommend protonvpn but like... protonmail ~~takes money from~~ gives money to CIA-backed orgs & talks about "freeing" hong kong...

also what about git hosting? i see this is on github pages (which is mad convenient, no doubt) but is there a hosting provider you recommend?

ProtonMail is a commonly acceptable email provider, and for normies it might be good to use. That said, it does a lot of privacy posing and certainly does not make you immune to 14 Eyes spooks as the email header is unencrypted on transit, and you cannot use your own PGP keys properly.

P.S. People who believe UK-USA funded HK insurrection was a protest are scared of being cancelled for criticising mainstream propaganda and/or keep their mouths shut about the past 20 years of MEA stuff. I can see this from India, though I get called "a certain party" shill for it.
