The Senate just voted to undo landmark rules covering your Internet privacy
U.S. senators voted 50 to 48 to approve a joint resolution from Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) that would prevent the Federal Communications Commission's privacy rules from going into effect. The resolution also would bar the FCC from ever enacting similar consumer protections. It now heads to the House.

When I was looking for alternate sources for the story, Private Internet Access (first on the list in the journal and recommended by some Soylentils) came up on Google News:

So they run a blog on digital liberty issues. Nice.

Nearly everything they run on their blog is essentially an advertisement for their services. All the different ways your privacy can be violated and that they fortunately have a product to fix.
Just sayin' is all.

I noticed that Linode has 5$ nodes now. 1TB transfer should be plenty too. Setting up a stripped down install of your favorite distro could be a lot of fun. Then you can be really really sure what is kept in the logs : )
