If eclips.is were to transition to a (partly) paid service, would you be able to cover these costs from your own resources?" * Next week: * - review draft MR for unreliable data channels https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/merge_requests/219 * - open issue to have snowflake-client log whenever KCPInErrors is nonzero https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/issues/40262#note_2886018 * - parent: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/issues/40267 * - open issue to disable /debug endpoint on snowflake broker * - move snowflake-02 to new VM Help with: meskio: 2023-12-21 Last week: - grant writing Next week: Shelikhoo: 2024-02-08 Last Week: * - HTTPS distributors in rdsys: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys/-/issues/191 * - Merge request reviews Next Week/TODO: * - HTTPS distributors in rdsys: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys/-/issues/191 * - Create Issue for "Merging webtunnel + lyrebird" * - Update WebTunnel Container Image * - Inspect Snowflake Situation In China onyinyang: 2023-02-08 * Last week(s): * - Continuing with bug fixing the syncing function, nearly finished * * This week: * - Finish up fixingproblemswith syncing functions * -Make Lox invitation endpoint only accessible via telegram * - attempt hyper upgrade again * * (long term things were discussed at the meeting!): https://pad.riseup.net/p/tor-ac-community-azaleas-room-keep * - brainstorming grouping strategies for Lox buckets (of bridges) and gathering context on how types of bridges are distributed/use in practice * Question: What makes a bridge usable for a given user, and how can we encode that to best ensure we're getting the most appropriate resources to people? * 1. Are there some obvious grouping strategies that we can already consider? * e.g., by PT, by bandwidth (lower bandwidth bridges sacrificed to open-invitation buckets?), by locale (to be matched with a requesting user's geoip or something?) * 2. Does it make sense to group 3 bridges/bucket, so trusted users have access to 3 bridges (and untrusted users have access to 1)? More? Less? * theodorsm: 2023-01-11 * Last weeks: * - Currently in the start phase of writing my master thesis (to be finished late june 2024) in communication technology on reducing distinguishability of DTLS. The goal is to implement a validated DTLS anti-fingerprinting library similar to uTLS (useful for Snowflake). * Next weeks: * - Talk with Sean DuBois about contributing to adding anti-fingerprinting capabilities to the pion library * Help with: * - Find recent data set of captured DTLS traffic -- --- onyinyang GPG Fingerprint 3CC3 F8CC E9D0 A92F A108 38EF 156A 6435 430C 2036
