What does Tor need 35 engineers for?

Serious question, since Tor is basically the server-client which was finished a long time ago and then a browser that basically is a fork of Firefox ESR.


You can get a gist of that by looking at what they do for each sponsor: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/sponsors (e.g. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/sponsors/S... )

Another place to look is their tor-project mailing list where in each meeting they list things to do/things done: (e.g. https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2020-Apri... ) https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/


Well for one thing, it needs to defend Tor against many parties, some of them with essentially unlimited resources, who are working full-time to find holes to exploit.

Dorsey is a terrible, part time CEO.


Only CEO in Silicon Valley with any sense of decency and a spine

Can you? By all accounts, you can’t stop Facebook. They’ll keep using you.


What do you mean ? I am not using facebook, and facebook is not using me. All their domains resolve to 0.0.0.0


I haven't tried, but DLL hijacking attacks are old, so I assume Chrome will warn you that a file may be dangerous if it's a DLL before dropping it to the Downloads folder.


>Triada gives them an immutable attribute, which prevents deleting, even by superusers. (Interestingly, the attribute can be deleted using the chattr command.)

Interesting if you've never used chattr I guess


This would've been a welcome move back when vanilla world of warcraft servers were still a thing.


Or they did but they didn't have a way to move the equipment, the people needed to use it, or simply they didn't have the spare equipment at all.


I mean rule #1 of important presentations, do a test run beforehand! It just seemed incredibly lazy that such a large well-branded organization could do such a thing.


Exactly the same thing would happen if you asked people if they'd rather be on vacation forever. Yes, but after a few months, they'd be begging to get back to work.
