- The Osservatorio has activated experimental nodes on a diskless, low-power infrastructure.
- Running Tor nodes involves risks due to potential legal misunderstandings or indiscriminate actions by authorities.
- The infrastructure is designed to minimize intermediaries and ensure operational security.
- System Transparency ensures reproducible, tamper-proof system images with public documentation.
- Patela is a tool for managing configurations securely, using TPM for encryption and mTLS for authentication.
- The project uses Rust for future compatibility with Tor's Rust implementation (Arti).
- Current setup includes four exit nodes running on a single Protectli device with coreboot.
- Future goals include expanding infrastructure, improving security, and integrating more services.
