Re: [tor-relays] A few questions about my setting up my first Tor relay.
I'm researching more on Raspberry and I see its way cheaper to run a relay this way. Won't cost me more the 100ε for a relay that will be self-sustaining. Considering there won't be any monthly expenses (except the internet) the initial investment can be recovered, 24/7 relay and no electricity cost, perfect! Chris Whittleston <csw34@cam.ac.uk> wrote:

I don't know if someone else already tried that, but you could use a BeagleBone Black [0] as well. It's a bit more powerful (1 GHz, newer ARM processor generation) than the Pi. The advantage I see is that it's blob free, which is a concern with the Pi for some people (please correct me if I'm wrong!).

What the heck does blob free mean? Beaglebone Blacks are impossible to get for some reason. They seem good for the job with more stability for equal power consumption. Has anyone got Tor running on something similar in price? Robert

Blob = proprietary binary package. Packages where no source code is available so you can't readily be 100% sure they do only what you expect them to do. On Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 7:35 PM, I <beatthebastards@inbox.com> wrote:
