Hi people, I just start my first node, and as my English is light, many aspect of the config are mysterious for me. I just see that my node as 2 new flags: "Stable" and "Guard". Maybe someone can explain to me how this attribution works? Thanks

"Stable" means that your node has been up for a long time continuously. "Guard" needs a bit more explanation. When a client Tor picks routes, the first relay is one of a small number of nodes. These nodes are the client's entry guards. A node is flagged "Guard" if it is suitable to be an entry guard. What other languages do you speak? My first thought was Syldavian, but then you'd be Ottokar. :)
