- wand3r 9y agoLast time this came up there was a rush to criticize the stupidity of running a relay in Russia. Well, we need those relays. We need them distributed. He knew the risks and he did it anyway. I commend his courage. I use tor. I don't run a relay. I can't afford to donate, but I will look into setting up a relay. Thank you Dmitry.
- doug1001 9y agoabsolutely right--we need those relay nodes. The risk of running a tor relay node in the UK is substantial; obviously many times more so in Russia. i will donate, thanks for the post, and Thank You, Dmitry!
- meshr 9y agoThe people who jailed him are from different humankind. They probably used his code contribution to Debian open source on their devices to catch him and in their everyday life. They laugh now at open-source community, because all that Debian can do is blocking Bogatov’s compromised keys. I guess there must be at least partially closed-source community (instead of total open-source one) in the ideal world then this community will have a power to help his member using sanctions in their soft. Remember also Ian Murdock case. I guess creators deserve more respect in this world. So the more powerful tools creators develop the more they need to move away from open-source.
