Re: [tor-talk] StartPage becoming Stop Page
check here: https://blog.privacytools.io/delisting-startpage/ and when it ends with blocking Tor users just no surprise. later maybe they will delete pages like this one: https://support.startpage.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/288/15/how-does-startpage-interact-with-tor history: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6151 joebtfs...@gmx.com: In the last week or 2 - well after TBB 9.0.9 release, StartPage quite often shows "sorry to interrupt" page, asking if you're doing weird things.

We apologize for the inconvenience: to prevent possible abuse of the Startpage.com service, your Internet connection has been prevented from accessing it at this time.

Re: [tor-talk] Revisiting youtube blocking TBB, virtually all 1st attempts to load YT
whats the different between watching video over invidious or youtube? I dont see a reason for me to search or watch videos over youtube. joebtfs...@gmx.com: On 3/4/20 1:15 PM, bo0od wrote: use invidious instance like: invidio.us or anyone eles.

[tor-talk] Tor Post-Quantum Cryptography
I wonder if Tor has a roadmap for applying pqc into their design, great to see that some projects trying to add it for experimental state: - OpenSSH https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html "* ssh(1), sshd(8): Add experimental quantum-computing resistant key exchange method, based on a combination of Streamlined NTRU Prime 4591^761 and X25519." - Wireguard https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/#Key_Exchange_and_Data_Packets - TLS: Benchmarking post-quantum cryptography in TLS: https://www.douglas.stebila.ca/research/papers/PQCrypto-PaqSteTam20/ Hybrid key exchange in TLS 1.3: https://www.douglas.stebila.ca/research/papers/draft-ietf-tls-hybrid-design/ - C library: https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
