onyinyang: 2023-07-25
Last week(s):
- FOCI/PETS online
- Working on tor-browser integration with updated lox-wasm binary:
- switched back to building modules and using them with a downloaded Tor browser
- tor-browser-build was mixing up inputs for one function which caused the module to error at load time, flipping them seems to have fixed the error
- updating Lox module for key rotation logic
- Identified that the lastPassed variable is not working as expected for Lox: lox resources bypassing grace period (#209) · Issues · The Tor Project / Anti-censorship / rdsys · GitLab and is probably the reason behind this issue: Lox Ready for Open Testing Call · Milestones · The Tor Project / Anti-censorship / lox · GitLab
Next week:
- continue with key rotation integration work
- fix lastPassed issue in rdsys (or lox if the rdsys fix is too complicated)
- Work on outstanding milestone issues:
in particular: Increase the acceptable time for bridgeline failure (#69) · Issues · The Tor Project / Anti-censorship / lox · GitLab
- key rotation automation
Later:
- begin implementing some preliminary user feedback mechanism to identify bridge blocking based on Vecna's work
- improve metrics collection/think about how to show Lox is working/valuable
- sketch out Lox blog post/usage notes for forum
(long term things were discussed at the meeting!): Riseup Pad
- brainstorming grouping strategies for Lox buckets (of bridges) and gathering context on how types of bridges are distributed/use in practice
Question: What makes a bridge usable for a given user, and how can we encode that to best ensure we're getting the most appropriate resources to people?
1. Are there some obvious grouping strategies that we can already consider?
e.g., by PT, by bandwidth (lower bandwidth bridges sacrificed to open-invitation buckets?), by locale (to be matched with a requesting user's geoip or something?)
2. Does it make sense to group 3 bridges/bucket, so trusted users have access to 3 bridges (and untrusted users have access to 1)? More? Less?
