With Debian it’s just the apt-tor package, and the project maintains an official list at… onion.Debian.org iirc?
I don’t know if serving onion traffic is more expensive for Debian/mirror maintainers so idk if this is something everybody should use

constantokra@lemmy.one 4 months agoCan you explain why you use onion repos? I’ve never heard of that, and I’ve heard of kind of a lot of things.

Onion repositories are package repositories hosted on tor hidden services. The connection goes through six hops and is end to end encrypted. In addition to further legitimizing the tor network with normal everyday usage it has the benefit of hiding what packages have been installed on a system.
Whonix has some notes about it here if you want to read more.

That’s pretty neat. I might start doing that, just for kicks.
