[tor-dev] Help Wanted: Fallback Directory Update

(You might have already read this email on a closed list. I'm re-posting it here, with an extra "step 0".) Hi all, Fallback directory mirrors help clients reach the Tor network. We need to rebuild the list every so often when their details change. (We have an automated check for 25% failure, and

[tor-dev] How about capping single operators to max. 10% exit capacity of the network?

Hi, since a single operator now controls more than 10% of the tor network's exit capacity I wanted to bring this up here (again [1]). What do you think about capping single operators (family) to 10% exit capacity and 5% for guard operators? regards, nusenu [1] https://lists.torproject.org/piper
