Five years ago I put a Tor guard relay on a 12 €/year VPS. It has now relayed 1.1 petabyte of pure onion juice. The same egress on AWS would be over 43,000 € :D Every figure pulled from Tor's own metrics API and a small script is available in the post: metalhearf.fr/posts/tor-gu...

5 years running a Tor guard relay: the cost of relaying 1 PB

Real Onionoo data from five years of a Tor guard relay: over 1 PB relayed, an 85 € total bill and an honest egress-only AWS comparison that lands near 43,000 €.

It passed. #ChatControl is back: your chats can be scanned until 2028, unless end-to-end encrypted. 🇪🇺 Nobody is coming to save your privacy. Ditch the GAFAM, move to Signal or other privacy-preserving alternatives. Do it now. July 2026 update 👇 metalhearf.fr/posts/chatco...

🎉 #ChatControl defeated! 🇪🇺 EU vote cancelled after 🇩🇪 Germany's opposition. We won this round, but for how long? These ideas will return, dressed differently each time. I added a "Victory" section to my blogpost for more info. Stay vigilant. 👁️
