Re: [tor-relays] Huge harrassment by Irdeto and IP-Echelon, 83 mails, in 2 weeks, need your help
Hello everybody, Just to keep you informed - and to tell you that my case may probably now be considered as "solved" -I decided to put a Reduced Exit Policy: if my ISP already transmitted to me 83 abuses notifications in 2 weeks without cutting down my servers, the few abuses notifications that will happen with Reduced Exit Policy will be OK. -I didn't have any answer by my ISP :( as if they absolutely don't care of nothing, or don’t have enough time. It sounds like I will never know their feeling about my exit nodes! With no hope of any clear agreement with my ISP, it will probably not be reasonable for me to put a Full Exit Policy on my servers without taking the risk to lose them soon or late. But to let Irdeto and IP-Echelon spams to win and trample on our common freedom is a little bit exasperating! My 2 "ArachnideFR35" servers will now probably come back to their previous bandwidth (12200KB/s and 3800KB/s) in the following days and weeks. (But with a little bit less available ports!) Thank you very much for all your mails and advices ;) Stay motivated!

[tor-relays] Apologies for the email about Sugarcube
Hello all, I'm very sorry about an email that went out yesterday that some of you received. It was only supposed to go to my contacts, around 2000 people. I exported my contacts and removed all mailing lists from the pool but it seems some people who were cc'd on threads got added in. It seems I have deeply offended about a dozen of you and for that I'm sorry. I know how precious inbox sanity is and I did not intend to spam anyone -- this email was only supposed to go to family and friends. Rest assured there is no 'list' and you will not be receiving any future email from me regarding Sugarcube. Best, Sri ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

The tradition may be broken but it has roots, just as feet and inches and acres came from real human practices. Some of us "grew up with" that stuff and it is going to be a pain to unlearn, for example, that a KB is 1024 bytes. Indeed this is the first i heard that anyone changed the definitions. Anyway, as long as Tor docs are clear what definitions are being used i think we can all get along fine. Suggest we add reference URLs to Tor docs. ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
