[WAR] Western Journo Asks Assad If He’s ‘Grateful’ That US Coalition Is Illegally Bombing Syria

The YouTube gives a good idea of how Syria's Assad handles foreign journalists. Kinda humorous. ** Western Journo Asks Assad If He’s ‘Grateful’ That US Coalition Is Illegally Bombing Syria.

You have to watch the whole thing. Start to finish. (Don't be lazy, it's not very long.)We know that you are probably at work and are not allowed to watch YouTube videos, especially YouTube videos showing Assad ripping a dumb Belgian journalist a brand new anus, but as Audrey Hepburn once pointed out: rules are meant to be broken.

This is excellent news, if accurate! -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [tor-talk] Questions on the coming next-gen onion services Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 09:26:54 -0500 From: David Goulet <dgoulet(a)ev0ke.net> Reply-To: tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org To: tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org On 11 Feb (06:14:34), Lolint wrote: > Hi Hello! > > I have some questions about the coming switch to next-gen onion services: > > o What will happen to current onion services?

The current services will still function for a while before we actually remove the support from tor. And that "while" will be few years at least. Both versions will live in parallel so you'll be able to have current service and next-gen service on the same tor instance. Currently, we do not plan to have an automatic transition to a next-gen address so if you want to create a next-gen address for your service, you'll have to simply configure a second service in the torrc indicating that you want the new version. We'll be documenting that process upon release. > > o What will happen to all the relays that are running versions of Tor that > don't support next-gen onion services? Good question. Onion services need basically three different type of relays, HSDir (directory), Intro point (IP) and Rendezvous Point (RP). The tor 0.3.0 release has the next-gen support for HSDir and IP. For the RP, the all current relays will work with next-gen. And for IP, next-gen services have a legacy option to use old IPs (<= 0.2.9). It has been put there for this transition period where we expect to have unfortunately a lot more tor out there that don't support next-gen. What is left is the HSDir that will have to be selected based on the protocol version advertised by the relay. So at first, there might be very few of those so there will be a period of time before we reached what we call "network maturity" which will allow us to switch from the current service protocol to the next-gen for all newly created services. This post on tor-dev@ kind of explain our intentions (but that might change overtime of course): https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-December/011725.html Cheers!

Their requests are being stopped in the Internet backbone network of Cogent Communications, which has blackholed the CloudFlare IP-address of The Pirate Bay and many other torrent and streaming sites. When the average Internet user types in a domain name, a request is sent through a series of networks before it finally reaches the server of the website. This also applies to The Pirate Bay and other pirate sites such as Primewire, Movie4k, TorrentProject and TorrentButler. However, for more than a week now the US-based backbone provider Cogent has stopped passing on traffic to these sites. The sites in question all use CloudFlare, which assigned them the public IP-addresses 104.31.18.30 and 104.31.19.30. While this can be reached just fine by most people, users attempting to pass requests through Cogent's network are unable to access them. http://suprbayoubiexnmp.onion/ http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/static/dump/csv/torrent_dump_full.csv.gz The html version is a redundant subset, don't bother downloading it. zcat torrent_dump_full.csv.gz | egrep -i cypherpunk transmission-cli ... :)
