It's not worth bothering with filesystem encryption on a VPS. Keep in mind that the hypervisor has full, unrestricted and essentially undetectable access to the contents of the virtual machine's RAM, so they can read decrypted dat

What I would like to know is, is caffeine consumption a zero-sum game? I.e. assuming you consume a constant amount of the stuff (let's say two cups of coffee a day), once your brain has adapted to this intake, is there any advantage i

Yes, they are more expensive than the main stream providers. And they're worth it, just like it is worth paying more for a good chair and a good keyboard if you use those a lot. I use the internet a lot and I care about it, so I gladly
