I’ve been trying out Grav for a while and it’s pretty cool. Relatively easy to self-host.

For many years now whenever I travel within EU I use my EU identity card and it’s very convenient. Would indeed be great if I could use something like it outside EU as well.

I use Liberapay and have been pretty happy with it. Have found quite a few of the people and projects to which I would like to donate, but not all.

I use Runbox, and have for many years. Overall I’ve been happy with them. I think they have the features you are looking for.

OVPN has been RAM only for a long time as well, the describe it on their website.

Definitely! There are so many jobs with heavy lifts where something like this could help. Spanning all the way from construction to health care.
