@torproject Q: I wish there was a similar tool test #Bridges, as bridges.torproject.org/scan/ is not that good and I don't want to hammer it with dozens of addresses, cuz at best that's quite antisocial if not possibly trigger responses assuming this is an intelligence gathering operation.

  • Ideally sone standalone binary that one can just give a list of #TorBridge|s in a text file (similar to the way one can just past them in at #TorBrowser) would help.

I.e.

bridgetest -v4 obfs4 203.0.113.0:80 …

bridgetest -v6 webtunnel [2001:DB8::1]:443 …

bridgetest -list ./tor.bridges.list.private.tsv
  • But maybe #onionprobe already does that. In that case please tell me to "#RTFM!"

Similarly there needs to be a more granular way to request #TorBridges from #BridgeDB (as it's basically impossible to get #IPv4 #Webtunnel addresses nor is there an option to filter for #ports like :80 & :443 to deal with restrictive #firewalls (i.e. on public #WiFi)…

  • there are flags like ipv6=yes but neither ipv4=yes nor ipv6=no yielded me other resultd than #IPv6 webtunnel bridges…

And before anyone asks: Yes, I do have a "legitimate purpose" as some of my contacts do need Bridges to get beyond a mandatory firewall and/or do use #TorBrowser (through an #SSH tunnel) to circumvent Tor & #VPN blocks and maintain privacy (as many companies do block sometimes entire #Hosters' ASNs due to rampant #scrapers

Uhhh this is a compilation of people visiting ports near them to record how empty they are for people who don’t believe it.

Right around 27 minutes someone is driving by the port of Los Angeles. Had they not said that’s where they were I never would have recognized San Pedro. It’s was always so full of ships I’ve never seen the docks because there were always ships full of cargo containers surrounding them.

No one else likes this picture as much as I do. An artifact from early days of opening up trade with China, this is stuffed toys that came in through the Port of Long Beach in 1982. We got Big Bird, some teddy bears, & an unidentified muppet in upper left (Gonzo? Grover?)

did a thing!

Big problem in #selfhosting is making sure you've set things up right: #dns resolution, #ports, rev/ #proxy. _Sometimes_ its helpful to query _from the outside_ of your local network.

`canuseeme` - a single binary #webservice that will query the URI you give it and see if its reachable by randos/services on the internet. A bit like a #webproxy, but can exercise it programmatically, and not limited to HTTP/S ports.

@stefano I really enjoyed listening (and reading). Neat summaries, especially your experience of real-world benefits.

With regard to FreeBSD and "separation between OS and packages", this is no longer true – the OS is packaged – however the vast majority of people will know what's meant 🙂

A typical installation of FreeBSD-RELEASE for a desktop/laptop user might gain its packages from a trio of repos:

FreeBSD-base
FreeBSD-kmods
FreeBSD-ports

• "For the avoidance of doubt, such future sources of revenues do not include the current sources of revenues which are already part of the general budget revenues of #Ukraine."

• The fund aim is to invest in Ukrainian projects & attract investment in public & private assets including #NaturalResources, #infrastructure, #ports & state-owned enterprises.

• Contributions to the fund will be reinvested in Ukraine to promote "the safety, #security & prosperity of Ukraine."
