Got an *old* Canon camera?

Roman needs your help getting his hands on some .CRW files to provide support for testing! Please help out if you can (check the topic for more info).

(In fact, we can use _many_ camera model raw files using old .CRW - please take a moment to check out https://raw.pixls.us and see if you have a camera we're missing raw files for!)

After months of work, we have a new stable release: Tor 0.4.0.5. It contains improvements for power management and bootstrap reporting, as well as preliminary backend support for circuit padding to prevent some kinds of traffic analysis.

We’re a small nonprofit that develops free and open source software used by millions, and our community of contributors and users would greatly benefit from improved documentation on Tor.

Through Season of Docs 2019, we're looking for technical writers to help us: https://blog.torproject.org/google-season-docs-2019-help-tor-improve-our-documentation

So Marcus Hutchins, of #WannaCry fame and who had been arrested in the US has pleaded guilty to writing banking #trojan software. Over on the birdsite there's lots of strong opinions. I blogged my opinion that it's a big world out there and trying to dismiss him as a criminal or pardon him because he's a hero are fundamentally misguided. https://blog.paco.to/2019/marcus-hutchins-infosec-soul-searching/

Last month, EFF's @jilliancyork discovered her photos, along with other EFF staff, journalists, and activists, were being used to train algorithms to recognize "suspects of interest." https://www.ft.com/content/cf19b956-60a2-11e9-b285-3acd5d43599e

I stopped reading news websites a couple weeks ago, and I've felt much happier since then. I read weekly/monthly news magazines, and that's plenty of exposure. I don't need the minute-by-minute updates.
