#retroshare #tor #certificado

Hey #Tor developers, would you be interested to see dtrace-generated callstack framegraphs for the tor-daemon for a long-lived and high-capacity tor exit node?

Of course, the #DTrace scripts would be open source.

Pondering doing this for Emerald Onion, a tax-exempt not-for-profit charitable organization in the US, which runs high-bandwidth and high-capacity Tor exit nodes.

Idea: #Netmap integration with #Tor for high-capacity [exit] relays, allowing Tor to bypass the kernel and talk (almost) directly with the NIC.

@seasharp It really is time we came up with a decentralized replacement for #DNS so they can't pull this shit. Maybe we could bootstrap it by running it alongside the mainstream web? Does connecting to a site's .onion address using #Tor get around URL blocks? Is there some way the #GNS protocol used in #GNUnet could be used to circumvent them? Or #IPFS?

@oz this whole field is moving so fast it's giving me whiplash trying to keep up ;) Especially as a power user with a limited understanding of code and software architecture. Here's the blog piece from 2010 that I remember, discouraging us from using #Tor for #BitTorrent:

One can use #Tor to gain IPv6 connectivity, even on hosts configured only for IPv4.

@oz the goals are similar in some ways, but for some reason we're always told not to watch video or download torrents via #Tor. I presume that's because it would tax the bandwidth available to the network? So the pitch of a decentralized #VPN network is that users can both pay for a service, or earn by supplying it, without trusting a central provider.

We're missing documentation on how to run Mastodon as a hidden (e.g. #Tor) service. If you know how to do it, please either submit it or tell me so I can write it down

#mastodev

Trying to use #Tor more in my day to day internet use.

@noorul Oh! Yes. I've gotta stop posting while sleep deprived. Don't ever use #BitTorrent through #Tor! It's akin to downloading a 1.5GB movie on someone's $1/MB dial-up connection. How rude! Do use a #VPN though if you can. They're cool. Like fezes ;)

@noorul @joshim AFAIK that's also a concern with any other tech that uses #BitTorrent protocols. If it's something you're concerned about, I guess you can use a #VPN? Or maybe #Tor?
