During the EFF "run a tor node" challenge a few years back, I learned that many cloud providers (a) hold you responsible for any traffic transgressing your proxy, and (b) generally were OK with running a relay node but not an exit

Thought following yours, I like the CDN idea - if you add in some dynamic DNS updates with random CNAME results it could also help - ask for cdn.example.com, get node182.example.com and 5 minutes later get a different CNAME result injected

I've been mulling this over today, as your ability to get the name/IP of the proxy has to be censorship resistant as well. The best idea I've had so far is using a CNAME response to a very common DNS query which would pass

trivia: `which` is not the same which on all distros - on Ubuntu for example it's a super simple shell script named `which` which supports one single param (-a), not the compiled binary that you have on say Arch - and the features ar

Big picture, this is known as "the usr merge" which has been happening for probably a decade, each distro is approaching it at their own speed as they're not all exactly identical in their FHS layout (some distros add a bit

Back in 1999 when Red Hat went IPO (dsiclaimer: I had FoC options), eTrade denied a very large swath of first-time investors with their platform trying to take advantage of Red Hat's FoC share options; I was one of them. There was a fo

What's sad / frustrating / predictable is that they had an open API until early 2016 to export contacts. No mistake they shut that down to lock folks to the platform I'm sure...

Yes - only one domain is the primary/default, you go into their Aliases section and have to set up a foo@domain1.com to foo@domain2.com mapping (if you use the add domain wizard it makes it for you). You still need to set up your DNS r
