If you had more commit, I can add them to that branch so we don't lose our discussion. Sure, I prefer to move review-specific code to something ephemeral to not litter trac. > Removing `proposal-needed?` as we don't define upload delays in the specification only time period HOWEVER I found this in rend-spec.txt: > {{{ > When uploading descriptors, the hidden service needs to make sure that > descriptors for different clients are not uploaded at the same time (cf. > Section 1.1) which is also a limiting factor for the number of clients. > }}} > > We should make sure we actually follow this as this might be important? Sure, it's really important and somehow I forgot about it. I think there should be some __short__ random initial delay __only for on-disk services__ since they are being started at the same time (note that this code doesn't actually work now). I'll soon update my branch. The delay for hiding startup time has different purpose and should be treated separately (see #20262 and my branch `obfuscate-startup-time`). -- Ticket URL: <https://troodi.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20082#comment:31> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
