Free Software Efforts (2018W33)

I’m writing this weekly report early this week as I won’t be around tomorrow to post it. I will be mostly offline next week as I will be at ACM SIGCOMM 2018 in Budapest, Hungary.

Here’s what I’ve been up to:

Tor Project

Lots of Onionoo and Debian packaging this week.

Onionoo Graph History Documents

On Monday, we released Onionoo 1.16.1 and deployed this to the official Onionoo instances. This fixed the issue with the serialization of Graph History documents that was breaking history graphs on Relay Search.

Free Software Efforts (2018W32)

Here’s what I’ve been up to:

Tor Project

Lots of Relay Search and Onionoo this week.

Fixes to the aggregated map and top relays views were made to complete changes that had happened elsewhere in the codebase but not been kept in sync here. Unfortunately there is a little too much logic in Relay Search that really should be handled by the backend which has lead to code duplication in places.

Netlify Mixed Content Warnings

Looking at my blog today, I noticed that Netlify now warns you if you link to non-HTTPS URLs in your site:

2:37:56 PM: Starting post processing
2:37:56 PM: Mixed content detected in: /blog/index.html
2:37:56 PM: --> insecure link urls:
2:37:56 PM:   - http://w6d6vblb6vhuqxt6.onion/blog/
2:37:56 PM:   - http://tvin5bvfwew3ldttg5t6ynlif4t53y3mbmb7sgbyud7h5q6gblrpsnyd.onion/blog/
2:37:56 PM:   - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/

This is really handy in catching those URLs you’ve forgotten to make into HTTPS URLs, but Tor Project exempts .onion hostnames from mixed content warnings (see Tor ticket #23439) and this is even applied upstream by Mozilla in Firefox (see Mozilla ticket #1382359).
