Re: Gemini Digest, Vol 25, Issue 12 - What we use

1. charliebrownau (charliebrownau (a) protonmail.com)

Gday
My Gemini presence is currently offline

Ive stored blog posts and front page on a Tiny 128gig USB stick
which I can use on my android smart survliance device via OTG,
Custom build Ryzen PC and modded chromebook running Acrolinux
https://arcolinux.com/


I use leafpad (appimage) to compose the gmi files
https://www.appimagehub.com/p/1255868/

I use Lagrange (Lagrange) to open the gmi files locally
https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases

I am still hunting around for a VPS I can trust
that wont pull my site after the first
weak always offended International Egalitarianism Authorianist demands my 
deplatformming and censorship

Does anyone know of a good realiable VPS server provider
, outside Eyes Survlaiance nations ,
that accept phsyical cash instead of Digital state Fait ?

I found Mullvad VPN accepts payments
using CASH and ANON idenity
- https://mullvad.net/en/

For cheap VPS's I found Lowendbox and Lowendtalk
are good sites to discover less 'popular" VPS providers
https://lowendbox.com/ https://www.lowendtalk.com/


All the best during the International Plandemic
of 2020-2040 and World Economy Reset

"By 2030 tax cattle wont own anything, and youll be happy"
