I still have to encounter this police which "treats you well" in Germany. If you found the 3 out of 3000 exceptions, that doesn't really count. I've seen enough police violence to be able to say that it is a global thing and german police isn't better or worse than the rest of the world.

Bavaria's cops have a history of being extra unpleasant, but this could happen in any state I guess, depending on the cops. > Best regards, > Alexander -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

If I don't forget about to add this to my todo list, I try to get back in contact with the people and see if they have some kind of dataset they are willing to share. As far as I understood it at the end of last year, they run some kind of audit on the nodes for their own safety, to check who they can trust in their already bad situation as a group. -- ng0 ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

Sometimes countries definitions of "unmetered" are like that. See the descriptive texts of ISPs who provide virtual machines or even dedicated servers for you. In iceland most if not all iceland based (legal entity in iceland, not just the servers) ISPs somehow depend on advania datacenter, and for advania in the retail, non-customized sale of their VMs and dedicated servers are very low in monthly traffic compared to the fair-use policy of the non-profit ISP I am at currently. > Fun fact, US has quite a lot of exit relays, but France holds the highest > consensus weight. Another interesting fact - the person does not share these analysis of course, or at least it's hard to get in touch currently - is that in Netherlands a very large number of relays is run by government agencies. -- ng0 ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

With OpenNIC there was/is mainly a lack of Tier2 servers in geographic south america, iceland, larger parts of geographic asia, and some other countries and continents. (reasonable) Hosting in Iceland is pretty expensive compared to for example Germany, but the few companies and DCs are very open and generally often welcoming towards civil rights projects. -- ng0 ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
