@jonobie@social.coop @gutenberg_org@mastodon.social Recently read Metta Victor's The Dead Letter from Standard. One of the first detective novels (1864). Hit the spot despite being High Victorian Pulp.

@maj@cosocial.ca Not an expert, but used it for years with very few issues. Have to adjust DNS with airvpn so no leaks.

@digichelle Not an expert, but I ended up with koofr.eu.

@Deglassco Ibrahim Shariff was his name, from Zanzibar.

@Deglassco I had a Kiswahili professor at Rutgers back in '81. He made a point of the same similarities between Israel, the US & South Africa (before apartheid ended) you mention. Thanks for the reminder, this should be clear to everyone now.
