As today is India's Independence Day, I took the opportunity to share how people could get on tor, see https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/the-road-to-tor/ Although the best would be to use Tails but for people who use a regular distribution like Debian, it should help a bit. I didn't actually know what advice I should give them and as can be seen I just gave a one-liner to say people should have new identities. Although I myself haven't had to make that choice as frankly I'm not in a situation that I need to fear for my life where association could make put your life in danger. I do however, understand the importance that more people being on tor would help, so it is a small step in that regard. I also do understand the importance of bridges and relays but then the blog post became a bit too long and would have been a classic case of information overload. I also did try the videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTorProject/videos and especially videos of Georg Koppen and Philipp Winter but didn't get them as the accent threw me off :( . I tried the youtube subs but they weren't any better as well but that is probably a different thing altogether. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 -- 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
