Re: [qubes-users] Announcement: Qubes Tor onion services will no longer be maintained
22...@tutamail.com: My understanding is: The -gw and -ws templates, -dvm, appvm, etc and functionality will remain...correct? The Qubes-os.org onion site is going away...right? I have been keeping pretty good track of my changes from default install(dom0 and templates) over the past few year when I originally installed 4.0, but "...have been relying on (e.g., for package repos..." might have been something I did a while ago. How would one check this? Yes the qubes onion hosting (website and repo) is gone, but the announcement from Andrew said that unman is working on hosting it again (thank you unman!) Until that's back up the only thing that needs to be changed is your update source, if you changed it to the qubes onion repo before (the whonix onion repo is still working). To check, in debian/whonix templates, look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r?.list (? is 4 or 3 depending on qubes version). If you have a .onion address in there it needs to be changed back to the clearnet address until the onion repo is back up. In dom0 (and i think in fedora templates too) the relevant files are in /etc/yum.repos.d/ -- Jackie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Announcement: Qubes Tor onion services will no longer be maintained
I just donated a small amount...not much but all I can right now. I would encourage others if you can...both Qubes and Whonix do good work! Maybe someone can clarify and help.

Re: [qubes-users] Announcement: Qubes Tor onion services will no longer be maintained
This is seriously bad news. If you and Whonix are that resource strapped, it does not bode well for the future of either team. I have done my part and contributed what I could to both. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Whonix VMs will still continue to work as before. This announcement just means that you should switch from any Qubes Tor onion service domains (ending in ".onion") that you may have been relying on (e.g., for package repos or the Qubes website) to instead use the corresponding clearnet domain (usually qubes-os.org). Note that you can still use Tor with clearnet domains. If you were not using any Qubes Tor onion services, then this announcement does not affect you. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEZQ7rCYX0j3henGH1203TvDlQMDAFAlyYKt8ACgkQ203TvDlQ MDCg1A//VYXaL6NyHnaO8gQCwI2emTi17D2y8ZKXvBUQg4djJAF3WxI6lG6tF1zn sUgBP9Qx40KI68IjikAgmk3nACpCpA+95d+UjP7Nss5Q1PuZtLrHvupys786EMmC AzE3ttwiOz6rf2ljjxLY4+a6YHoi2euHx1wuf0/un62znO/F5Pl67YmAkiarIuiP p6QA5Yhj9Yhg8tTrU+pkFKZUH8eNCSt5GRMdcOZ9oHDlXZHDhnAIYqvhHIZRA98y Ird9c8fWoxHrA70PhGzROhLEc03zN03xT62XYEULDnbRzlkHlMJe7wE0lsfZwrmh whWbWZLoJMU2EUmRDqR714IGomj/GonHQp1yviyI24GJfyIxjJoCaX1f2qxTNlFu wRPiuVusGLOyYzlkx6rgkL7tAOZe72gPwL1p9Nzl33rJvVxPv0bIQ8ICCeZY4VE5 BkzKb22ps7Gux9o+aNuxV4B65KmCVWXyLOE9Zaegkoa9dAXZyk7dpwWvSSa0reaZ +sQyDy6U0J4U2399pPnjCGuuPDrnka9K1A28s33cQBekDgpos/C+xJ27IPpA5Rn9 +2ihZqm2I1SZfufWCH26buiCVJ/dYZ2hTgiHf1JCCjm9RSPETkPNFIN34Mb0S6/s Xj+gD2ZI1CCH6nmaMRwiWcx7wKr9iwyJS+UxMJg1A/HhWTC2Gpw= =HBQ9 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
