A new blog post where @alexhaydock goes into some detail showcasing our minimalistic @alpinelinux Tor relays architecture, a threat model, and including a link to our now-public open source "Emerald Relays" orchestration framework.

The past 6 months have proven its success, and now we look forward to phase 2 (read the post!), which we need your help in funding. Emerald Onion is a U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit, so please consider donating before 31 December! https://emeraldonion.org/donate/

Our lead relay engineer @alexhaydock has increased our stateless #Tor exit relay deployment to 96! (+1 because of the new #RISCV bare-metal node, +1 other we redeployed due to a silly spelling error). We're stress testing our three AMD Epyc 7402P servers that use #Proxmox.

Each one of the 96 Tor exit nodes are diskless Unified Kernel Images, 56MB in total size, using @alpinelinux's alpine-make-rootfs with an absolutely bare minimum number of packages. We'll be publishing more about our new architecture and configuration soon.
