Comment on TOR asking to run snowflake to help Iranians with internet access
ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 hours agoWell I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…
I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use toe, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!
I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using boinc. :)

I don’t see why there should be any problem, as they use different ports. Plus I’ve had no troubles running a Jellyfin and Navidrome instances, plus some other self-hosted services alongisde Snowflake.
I’m really glad to have helped you :). Tor is very mystified, but an awesome tool, and very neat from a technical point of view. In case you haven’t seen them, I recommend these 2 amazing videos from Computerphile: How TOR works and TOR Hidden Services
