[...] PS: Are the older powerpc versions still worthwhile to seed? Well... AFAIK, they have never been tested on real hardware, I doubt they actually work, and we have never received any kind of user feedback about them. This is why no powerpc image was built for amnesia 0.4.x. Ok. Curiously (?), this is also why I am in favour of doing anything that can help changing this state of things; including seeding these images = they are tested = we get bug reports and can fix them. Hmmm. I'm not sure. Why should people use pre-built binaries of *older* versions if current source is available too... If I had a powerpc, I'd use the source in that case (at least if it's really usable, as in I don't have to invest a million of hours ;) of manual work to build). But ok, perhaps others think differently, so people get to decide, whichever gets downloaded most will get most of my upload bandwidth. :) Kind regards, Hannah. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

You may want to check http://cacert.org for more info on CAcert. I think using CAcert for SSL should be fine, though you may want to refer people of the proper CAcert root certificates on the front page or something like that. Aside from this, I second some of the sentiments expressed by people before me: polling RSS to see whether a new torrent is available is not going to improve the number of seeds, and I had to click many times before I finally got to the page with the actual torrents.

Hello, Timo Schoeler wrote (09 Feb 2010 18:45:25 GMT) : That is very good to hear; however: is the torrent functional? Download takes ages. It is, but we desperately lack seeds. Anyone, please help seeding amnesia if you're interested + can afford it. If you want to participate, please take care of always seeding the newest release: there's RSS[0] and Atom[1] feeds of the available Torrents to help being up-to-date. Is there any effort in making a redundant and *trusted* download mirror infrastructure available? Not yet. I quite like BitTorrent as it gives you a very efficient mirroring infrastructure for free, once you've got enough peers who are willing to seed. Moreover, it may be a bit harder to censor a given .torrent files than a well known HTTP mirrors pool. But I suppose you're talking about HTTP here, so... what do you mean by *trusted*? For such a trusted mirroring infrastructure to be useful, people who download amnesia need to be able to trust the network as well... IMHO, it is easier (client side) to: A) trust neither the mirror nor the network, and rely on OpenPGP signatures only (= need for - the signing key to be signed by keys in the strong set - end-users documentation explaining how to download using BitTorrent, how to check OpenPGP signatures ) ... than to ... B) trust the mirror, and do what's necessary to be able to trust the network too; by being able to trust the network, I don't mean to trust every Mozilla-approved SSL CA. If so, how can we help?

Announce: amnesia Live system 0.4.2
Hello, amnesia [0] is a Live System similar to (and heavily inspired by) Incognito [1]: * all outgoing connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network; * no trace is left on local storage devices unless explicitely asked. Since the initial announcement on this mailing-list in August, a few releases happened. We're working hand in hand with the Incognito developers, and amnesia can now be considered as the ground foundations for the next main Incognito release. Try it, seed it! Any comments are welcome. Highlighted changes since August: * We now ship multilingual ISO images; initially supported (or rather wanna-be-supported) languages are: ar, zh, de, en, fr, it, pt, es. * We now ship hybrid ISO images, which can be either burnt on CD-ROM or dd'd to a USB stick or hard disk. * Icedove (Thunderbird) was replaced with claws mail, in a bit rough way. * Virtual keyboard: kvkbd was replaced with onBoard. * Tor controller: TorK was replaced with Vidalia. * Anonymous, GnuPG-encrypted bug reporting is now made easy for end-users. * Users are now warned at runtime when the amnesia version they are running is affected by security flaws, and which ones they are. * Includes NetworkManager 0.7 to support non-DHCP networking. * Always use the latest Tor stable release from deb.torproject.org. * Securely erases RAM on shutdown using smem. * Added support for running as a guest system in VirtualBox. * Improved boot time on CD by ordering files in the squashfs in the order they are used during boot.
