Tor ☛ Arti 1.3.0 is released: memory quota tracking, onion services, and more | The Tor Project
Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor client in Rust. Now we're announcing the latest release, Arti 1.3.0.
This release is a significant milestone: we have achieved parity on most major client features with C Tor. Much other major work is taking place, too! Work on Arti Relay is accelerating, and the RPC system is proceeding too.

Michal Zelazny ☛ Connections - Michal Zelazny
My relationship with social media, social visibility, and chat apps is complicated. One day I use this or that, another day I use nothing and live under the rock. Such an approach is convenient for me, but only for me. I realized that there are some people who probably could contact me if they have a way to do so. Sure, I can tell them that they should simply use an email. Because the email is what I prefer, I could even tell them to use iMessage because that is my favorite chat app. It’s all about me.
That’s what I realized. I don’t want to make it all about me. If I want to maintain relationships, I need a way to do so. I still don’t want to join any big corporate thing to do so, but I decided that Signal is a good-enough compromise for me.
