- "I followed the official torproject documentation for Debian/Ubuntu which says 'apt install tor' in the first option" (before the relay guide has been introduced - which points to option two) https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en - "I run vanilla debian and don't want to trust any third party or backport repos if not necessary" - "I want to run a relay with minimal effort and LTS releases happen less frequently -> less effort" - "If I update my relay frequently my cw decreases" - "Roger said tor 0.3.5 is especially stable, we like more stable software" (see the emails send out to operators on https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/network-health/2019-September/thread.html ) -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
