Hacking

The Final Click

On my desktop, I had been using a Logitech G500 mouse. This was a really nice mouse that had the perfect feature set for me but it had a problem. Single clicks would turn into double clicks and it was nearly impossible to click and drag. Some consequences of this include tweets being unliked instantly after liking them, ordering twice as many apples as necessary from Tesco and pasting my entire Twitter timeline into an IRC buffer instead of the two lines of log file.

Free Software Efforts (2017W37)

I’d like to start making weekly reports again on my free software efforts. Part of the reason for these reports is for me to see how much time I’m putting into free software. Hopefully I can keep these reports up. Debian I have updated txtorcon (a Twisted-based asynchronous Tor control protocol implementation used by ooniprobe, magic-wormhole and tahoe-lafs) to its latest upstream version. I’ve also added two new binary packages that are built by the txtorcon source package: python3-txtorcon and python-txtorcon-doc for Python 3 support and generated HTML documentation respectively.

Recent Atlas Improvements

This post was originally posted to the Tor Project blog. If you would like to comment on this post, please do so there. Atlas is a web application to learn about currently running Tor relays and bridges. You can search by fingerprint, nickname, country, flags and contact information and be returned information about its advertised bandwidth, uptime, exit policies and more. Screenshot of Atlas I’m taking this opportunity to introduce myself.
