[tor-project] intrigeri's report, September 2024

Hi,

In case you missed it, Tails is now part of Tor:

Time-off

···

========

This was as short work months: I took 2 weeks off for personal
reasons. I'm back.

User-visible

- I reviewed the doc sajolida wrote to mitigate SBAT-related boot
  failures

  Tails cannot start with Secure Boot enabled on systems that require shim SBAT level 5 (#20471) · Issues · tails / tails · GitLab

- I gathered stats from bug reports to verify that our new idea
  (credits: sajolida) makes sense wrt. reporting errors about the
  partition table, partition header, and resizing. We plan to start
  designing and implementing in October.

  Follow-up on reporting GPT errors (#20505) · Issues · tails / tails · GitLab
  Report earlier errors about the partition table, partition header, and resizing (#20531) · Issues · tails / tails · GitLab

- Always notify users of N.x that they should upgrade to (N+1).y

  Always notify users of N.x that they should upgrade to (N+1).y (#20542) · Issues · tails / tails · GitLab

- Fixed recent(ish) regressions

  - Spurious error message on Tails sticks installed a long time ago

Project and outreach

- I attended the Global Gathering, together with a lovely crew of Tor
  people.

- I helped a tiny bit with the messaging of the Tails/Tor
  merge announcement.

Team lead

Most of my time left was used to set up new processes, integrating
with the other Tor teams.

Cheers,
