Happy Monday fellow Linux geeks and Open Source enthusiasts! In this week's newsletter we explore checksums, different checksum algorithms, and why you should implement the use of them when downloading files.

We also go over why you need a VPN and how to choose the one that is ideal for you. Finally, we examine the dangers of relying on a VPN alone to protect your privacy and security online while remote working, and why Zero-Trust is helping ease issues with using a VPN.

Hope you enjoy!

Yours in Open Source,
