On March 31st new rules take effect in China banning VPNs and cross-border leased lines. Bloomberg writes:

Censors have already eliminated hundreds of VPNs, which route user requests for sites through virtual networks located on the providers' servers, disguising their users' true locations or destinations. A few operators have been jailed, and over the summer Apple Inc. began removing VPN software from the Chinese version of its App Store. VyprVPN, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and a shrinking number of others are still working to outpace the government, renting extra cloud servers from Amazon Web Services Inc. and the like to buoy their networks. They're also working on software that can make user activity look like permitted internet traffic, sometimes by renting internet protocol addresses that have also been used by government-approved services.

    The one who deceives here is God. Mock accordingly.

    Last I checked, Satan was supposed to be the one who deceives. Who do you worship?

    Energeian Planēs

    One of the nastier bits of Christian theology. The idea that God deliberately makes bad decisions worse. This, of course, leaves wide open the idea that the decisions wouldn't have been bad, if it weren't for God's interference.
