configuration problem or censored site?
by Per Gunnarsson 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

Hello! I don't know if I have misconfigured something, if there is a bug or if a hidden service is misconfigured/censored. The hidden service is an icecast server and I am on and off trying to send a vorbis stream to it. I can only access the hidden service administrator over i2p, and some i2p traffic is firewalled according to my mobile phone. As a hobbyist I have the time but not yet the skills to figure out what is going on. Which level of log file verbosity do you suggest to begin with? I send this just out of curiosity and because I enjoy sending email. Regards, Per Gunnarsson

ERROR WHEN SETTING UP A LOCAL VERSION OF THE TOR SUPPORT PORTAL
by Nkep Renate 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Hello everyone. Hope this email finds you well. I am an Outreachy applicant and I have been going through this document: https://gitlab.torproject.org/torproject/web/tpo/-/wikis/Compiling-a-local-… in other to setup the support portal locally and work on some issues. I followed the steps and when I got to the part where I had to enter the tpo/lego directory, I realized the directory wasn't found. Don't know where I went wrong. I continued till I got to the command: lektor build, but I got the error home/renate/.local/lib/lektor/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2456, in resolve module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0) except IOError, e: SyntaxError: invalid syntax Understanding where the error came from, I realized it had something to do with the __init__.py file. I tried googling but didn't come out with anything meaningful. Don't know if I didn't follow the steps well, or something else. Please I need help on this. Thanks
