Next step is to negotiate more ram with my Russian provider. 2 GB working set became too small for the mysql db and about 30-50 concurrent Apache processes. regarding ads: I would have to pay income tax for revenues generated with ad services. No kidding! German tax offices are Legion. They do not forgive. They do not forget. By the way, what is wrong with https://torstatus.rueckgr.at?

I don't think anyone would be bothered if you put an ad-service on the page to generate some revenue. Should cover the cost and generate a small profit.

[tor-relays] Bittorrent Legal Noise, Advocacy [re: Explaining Tor to worried parent]

Talking "Privacy" and "Freedom" is hardly enough to get any percentage of various communities migrating inside and safely using these networks, nor to get much change in the world, you have to show them how to use real world apps over those nets. The *years* of anti speech and dis enablement from Tor about agnostic Bittorrent in particular has no doubt hindered some onionification et al of same. So you get that many more bullshit emails and leave lots of unprotected non private and un free peoples still out hanging using clearnet. > I run into this all the time whilst proselytizing for Tor, as for > example at a local non-profit makerspace recently.
