[tor-talk] keeping torcloud alive



hi,
new talk subscriber. i'm
volunteering to help keep torcloud alive by offering help even though i can't be primary maintainer.

i recently got a torcloud node up and running. $3 month first year is quite good. stable and once going no hassles. i like the idea. less prone to outages than my home isp etc.

i did so because i have yet to build a good box for my home connection to service a torbridge for residential broadband

(suggestions as to what to use welcome. pcbsd, debian or ubuntu flavour etc. i'm using older h/w likely dual core 2.3ghz. i think i have 4 gig ram but willing to invest in more.)

i can see the value keeping torcloud alive even if users stick with it for only a year of low cost donation.

no one knows me so i cannot handle sensitive procedures but i'm willing to help take other work off someone's hands that doesn't involve the required trust level. eg update documentation and field help once i know process a bit better.

in a support message lunar mentioned torcloud needs a maintainer. perhaps having a helper might make it easier for someone to apply their name to it?

since tor requires consistent uptime i can see torcloud being an asset. as much as i'll try to get a solid nix box going at home i suspect torcloud node might be more reliable vs people like me building boxes and running nix fulltime at home to service tor. (?)

steve
