I still get that feeling for the most part with open source self-hosted stuff and devices running as open as possible software. Could someone hack my up-to-date linux server behind my VPN? Yeah. But it feels a lot less likely than any other device. If it's not an open source OS with a good track record, I feel like every key stroke, swipe, or picture is spied on.
On devices I trust less, like my android phone, I feel better than default (but not perfectly comfortable) about open source encryption software and the stuff stored there.
