AirVPN review: Fast, privacy respecting, with a native Linux client - VPN review video
From the AirVPN website, "AirVPN - The air to breathe the real Internet. A VPN based on OpenVPN and operated by activists and hacktivists in defence of net neutrality, privacy and against censorship. A VPN tunnel encrypts your connection to the Internet. This impenetrable tunnel prevents criminal organizations, your ISP or even your government to spy on your communications."

"Mastodon is a federated social network, with similar features to Twitter, but administrated as a decentralized federation of servers running open source software. Users belong to a single Mastodon server, known as an "instance", where they post short messages for others to read, subject to the privacy settings of the user and instance. The service seeks to distinguish itself from Twitter through its orientation towards small communities and community-based, rather than top-down, moderation. Like Twitter, Mastodon supports direct, private messages between users, but unlike "tweets" posted on Twitter, Mastodon "toots" can be private to the user, private to the user's followers, public on a specific instance, or public across a network of instances. The network of federated Mastodon instances forms one part of the Fediverse, a federated network that includes servers running any social network software that uses OStatus."

The except from Jim's patron page that I read, "As of this month, Patreon intends to give all creators a straight 95% cut of the money. Sounds great on paper, but they are passing the fees onto the patrons themselves. Whatever you pledge, Patreon will now whack a 2.9% fee plus a straight 0.35cents on top of it." -from https://www.patreon.com/posts/note-about-fee-15755958

Available from the Manjaro website, https://manjaro.org "Manjaro provides all the benefits of the Arch operating system combined with a focus on user-friendliness and accessibility. Available in both 32 and 64 bit versions, Manjaro is suitable for newcomers as well as experienced Linux users. For newcomers, a user-friendly installer is provided, and the system itself is designed to work fully ‘straight out of the box’ with features including:
"Pre-installed desktop environments pre-installed graphical applications to easily install software and update your system, and pre-installed codecs to play multimedia files
"For more experienced – and adventurous – users Manjaro also offers the configurability and versatility to be shaped and moulded in every respect to suit personal taste and preference. Furthermore, a minimalist NET-Edition is also available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Stripped of any pre-installed software, this provides a base installation on which to build your own system; starting from a command line, be completely free to chose your own greeters, desktops, hardware drivers, software applications, and so on!"
