Re: [tor-relays] Blutmagie retired

2018-11-22 Thread Matthias Fetzer

Hallo Olaf,

hat dir schon jemand für Blutmagie kostenloses hosting anzubieten?
Ich habe genug freie Resourcen, wenn du von mir eine VM dafür haben
möchtest. Die SSL-Zertifikate könnte man doch wunderbar per Let's 
Encrypt

machen, oder nicht?

Viele Grüße,
Matthias

I took the ssl certificate expiration 11/06 as an occasion to
discontinue the service. Actually behind the scenes everything is
still running. The mysql db is fed with Tor live data. Only the Apache
config prevents access. I'm just too lazy to renew the ssl certificate
or to switch to letsencrypt and I declined offers sell the site.

A practical concern, interesting they chase small web sites
though I suppose the tax offices have it automated.  Does a
threshold minimum for filing exist?


I know they chase ebay sellers. In Germany one has to pay income tax on 
the total amount of income. In my case this is what I earn in my job 
plus the hypothetical revenues from ad services. Only about 9.000 Euros 
income per year is the tax-free amount.

https://torstatus.blutmagie.de is resurrected :-) Today I spend the 
amount of 17 USD for a new ssl certificate. 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.

By the way, what is wrong with https://torstatus.rueckgr.at? Basically 
this site provides the same information as blutmagie.

Please don't. Ad services are far too often used to distribute
malware.  Some kind of community-funding jar would be much safer.

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.  Torstatus is nice!

It just has to be said: Creating a single-host Let's Encrypt cert is
very easy on Debian Linux, which you seem to be using. Install Certbot,
shutdown Apache, run Certbot, modify Apache's certificate path settings,
start Apache. I'd offer to do it for you, but somehow I doubt you'll
grant me root access to your server. ;-)

No pressure.
