Hello tor-project@, the following contains the work I have done for The Tor Project, Inc. in May 2025. # Migration to Payroll Provider Starting on the 2nd of June, I will no longer be a contractor and instead be an employee. This also means that this will be the last status report of its kind from me, as it is a contractor thing. Besides this, nothing much will change though. I will continue to work for The Tor Project, Inc., only the way on how I get my salary will change. # oniux This month, the comms team and I wrote a blog post introducing oniux[1], which was well received across the internet. So far, it already made it into several distributions and the overall feedback has been very positive. Besides this, we released v0.4.0 and v0.5.0 of oniux, with v0.4.0 introducing a large change, namely implementing oniux in a capability free fashion by utilizing the concept of `user_namespaces(7)`. The v0.5.0 mostly contained bug fixes for some paper cuts that became evident after users reported them the moment the blog post became viral. # onionmasq This month, I finally merged a new integration test suite into onionmasq, which is no longer as flaky as it once was. Primarily, this change is of rather internal nature and probably not very interesting to users of the application. More interestingly however, I fixed a bug where onionmasq leaked resources on mobile devices, namely ticket #141. As always, I also performed various general maintainer tasks, such as fixing CI warnings and updating dependencies. # arti dircache Most of my work this month went into the technical design of the directory cache that will soon be implemented in arti. I did this with the help of Diziet and so far the progress is going great. Looking forward to start writing actual code very soon, as the database schema is more or less finished. Besides, this work also resulted in some changes within the specification, as reading them revealed some ambiguities which have been addressed appropriately.
