New German draft law wants to force Google, Facebook and others to save their users passwords unencrypted to "help" the police with investigations on hate speech if they need access to user accounts. Note: Article is in German

The Tor network team spent the last 12 months working to improve network scalability and accessibility.

They:
- Reduced module complexity and maintenance burden;
- Developed new architecture for several key Tor modules;
- Implemented better tooling;
- Improved testing for several key Tor modules; and
- Improved our documentation.

All this work couldn’t have happened without the support of many teams at Tor and anonymous volunteer cypherpunks. Thank you.

Just found a fantastic article via @sir about the state of "systems administration" at the time the article was written. In my opinion, it's gotten much worse since then.

In short . . . it sucks. People want a simple install method that includes running one, maybe two commands and messing with a config file. They don't care to actually know what's going on under the hood so they can *properly* run it: verify signatures, download components from trusted sources, keep everything patched for security, ensure every dependency is up to date, etc.

"Throw this Docker image on your server and in 2 seconds, you'll have this service running with no hassle whatsoever!"

Fuck that shit. Do it right.

Eh... Should I set-up Gitea+drone or Gitlab on my personal server?

Gitlab is a beast but I use it elsewhere, has CI/CD well integrated, the WebIDE is pretty sweet. Still, seems an overkill for a one-man operation.

Gitea seems a lean mean git hosting machine, but I would need to add drone for CI/CD. And it doesn't have certain neat features of Gitlab.

Decisions, decisions!..
