One natural side-effect of writing for work is that you often have to use brand names. Unfortunately, brand names are not always capitalized in a way that’s either intuitively obvious, or even in keeping with how Mrs. Demarest taught (some of) us to capitalize names in 7th grade English class.

The bottom line is that CentOS 9 is an identical twin to RHEL 9 – except for the names and trademarks....

With Opera offering free VPN, and with free VPNs like Windscribe and Hola, do you see a future for paid VPNs? The Opera ‘VPN’ is more like a proxy, it only works in the Opera browser.

It’s not nearly as secure for the user compared to a real VPN, as it can be exploited in other ways to reveal the users real IP address....
