  Very cool, happy to see more IRL applications of onion services as a backend. Arti onion client support should soon be available, which will make Tor embeddable in applications as a Rust library. Hopefully this encourages even more usage.More applications using the network means more cover traffic as well.

  Using a v3 onion address as both the cryptographic identity and the NAT traversal layer is such a clean architectural choice. No STUN/TURN servers, no hole punching, you just boot the script and Tor handles routing.For those who use Tor regularly for things other than web browsing: how bad is the real-world latency for pushing a ~20KB Opus audio chunk over Tor these days? Are we talking a 2-3 second delay, or is it much worse?

  Tangential, did Gitlab become faster than a while back or is it an illusion from their lazy loading?

  > 21 curated ciphers are availableWhy!? That sounds like approximately 20 too many.

  > Exclude Countries -- Exclude specific countries from your Tor circuits. Presets for Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, and Fourteen Eyes alliances, or enter custom country codes. Uses ExcludeNodes with StrictNodes in the torrc.Interesting that people do this, I wonder how much it improves security? Afterall, any serious surveillance would involve running relays and exits in foreign lands.

  I love this. In your view, how would users go about securely swapping credentials ? PGP over email ?

  Looks fun, I've yet to test it but I did skim it.'|| true' 76 matches 'echo ""' 50 matches ' [ ' 261 matches '=$(' 90 matches

  Sorry for hijacking but I came across a firefox send replacement which worked in linux command line. Anyone know what it was? (It was online though, as in no storage for later)

  Interesting to implement this as a shell script.Still: Using a line based protocol and base64 encoding the audio data? Not my first choice.The README doesn't mention it, but I assume both parties have to be online at the same time?Regarding encryption - what's the point? When communicating with a tor hidden service, the data is already encrypted.Only starting the sending audio data after the speaker has stopped talking means much longer delays than necessary. Imagine someone talking for a minute.

  Looks awesome in many ways. The use of a shared secret instead of PKI limits the real-world applications pretty severely, but adding PKI support doesn't seem too difficult. If the PKI key was only used to establish the session "shared secret", virtually no changes would be needed in the main code.Thanks for contributing!
