- GVPE 3.1 is out. (Phoronix)
GVPE stands for GNU Virtual Private Ethernet; it lets you securely connect multiple servers over the internet on a virtual local network, without a central VPN host.
Social Media News
- PayPal and hosting provider Joyent have pulled the plug on Gab.
Joyent has given them two days to migrate to new hosting. For a complex site that's all but impossible, unless you run your own containers.
This is one reason I chose to run my own server for this latest refresh rather than migrating to cloud hosting. None of the cloud hosts make it easy to migrate away. Why would they?
- YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki wrote a blog post urging users to protest the European Union's abominable new copyright legislation which threatens to do to YouTube what YouTube routinely does to its users.

An American ex-pat goes on a snack raid in an Aussie 7-11.
Chicken Twisties aren't all that good. Go for the cheese flavour every time. Although those definitely get messies all over your fingers.

I understand that .Gab are claiming to have an alternate server now, but I have no news source on this. This is a screencap of a screencap attached (I don't have a Gab account.)
Boing Boing's take on both the deplatforming affair and Gab's condemnation of the shooting was particularly...I don't know WHAT you'd call this...
I'm pretty I sure that this is slime-talk for "Lordy, don't kick us off our servers or otherwise shut us down."
Gab's proclamation of love for free speech doesn't seem to extend to anyone that has anything resembling criticism for their online community.
From Gizmodo:
...Gab’s Twitter account has spent much of the day attacking critics, calling the New York Times’ Mike Isaac a "smug inner city elitist,†accusing BuzzFeed of being racist against white people, and calling Twitter "one giant cesspool of Jew-hating lunatics.â€
So Gab's frequently asinine criticizing of their critics via... speech ....is the same as their being shut down. I don't like Gab. I don't use Gab. Gabbitonians give me hives. But this Orwellian crap is creeping me out.

I have a Gab account (I have an everything account). Don't use it much, though.
