Daily Tech News 25 August 2022

• Choo choo indeed: Chattanooga has launched America's first community-wide 25Gbps internet service. (Hacker News)
  
  It's not exactly cheap - $1500 per month for residential customers and $12,500 per month for business - and you will need either Cat8 cabling or fiber internally, but it is available now.
  
  Great for schools and businesses if a little beyond the reach of the average household. And a good way to bootstrap a small city into a regional tech hub.
  
  Also, I linked to Hacker News because the ISP's own web site is down. I don't know what that says, but it says something.

• A 14kB web page can load dramatically faster than a 15kB page. (End Times)
  
  Though given the dramatic bloat in web sites over the years, if you can achieve either one you're doing well.
  
  
  
• There's a critical remote execution vulnerability in GitLab 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3. (Bleeping Computer)
  
  Probably a good idea to patch it. (We run our own GitLab servers at work - safely inside the private network. GitLab is great but I wouldn't recommend exposing it to the public internet.)
  
  
  
• The DeskPi lets you build a cluster of six Raspberry Pi CM4 modules in a mini-ITX form factor. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  If you really want to.
  
  The I/O is wired to the first module which acts as a management interface to the other five. The board also adds a standard M.2 slot for each module so you can do a lot better than microSD cards for storage.
