Very early #OnThisDay, 3 Mar 1944, Denise Bloch and Eileen Nearne arrived, separately, into occupied France as wireless operators for the British Special Operations Executive. The SOE supported the French resistance in sabotaging Nazi operations.
Both women were arrested by the summer. Denise was killed in Ravensbrück. Eileen escaped but never recovered her health.
Short thread!
#OnThisDay, 3 Mar 1913, thousands of women marched through Washington DC in the Suffrage Parade. They are led by Inez Milholland, a lawyer on a white horse, with delegations from each state following.
The day before Ida B Wells and other Black suffragists were told they would be segregated, and had to march at the back. Wells said that she would march with Illinois or not at all.

If you were setting up a #selfhosted ISP of sorts (maybe not total strangers, but taking payments, provisioning domains, web sites, VMs), what open source services would you use? I’ve found #webmin #virtualmin #WHM #cpanel #plesk and maybe a couple others. But I have no opinions or experience. Anybody running web hosting in their #homelab or similar? Boosts welcome.
