Our commitment to donor privacy at Tor

At the Tor Project, transparency for a privacy project is not a contradiction: privacy is about choice, and we choose to be transparent in order to build trust and a stronger community. This is how we operate in all aspects of our work: we show you all of our projects, in source code, and in periodic project and team reports, and in collaborations with researchers who help assess and improve Tor. Transparency also means being clear about our values, promises, and priorities as laid out in our social contract.

VirtualBox 7.0.12 Out with Early Support for Linux 6.6

VirtualBox shouldn’t need much of an introduction, of course. It’s one of the best-known pieces of open-source virtualisation software around – helped by the fact it supports all three major desktop operating systems as both host and guest.
Issued today, VirtualBox 7.0.12 is a maintenance release that brings a boatload of bug fixes to bear, plus a few interesting bits of enablement (such as the aforementioned kernel prep), including better support for Linux distros using Linux kernel 6.4 and 6.5.

There’s also a greater range of Linux OS subtypes available within the app, which is a nice bonus for those regularly testing out different distros.
