The repo has the scripts that are used to compile the binaries. It's not even a fork, it just downloads the code directly from the official repo.

I didn't know Portugal was big on censorship. What kinds of sites are blocked?

Great documentation!

I particularly like that you mentioned "NAT Traversal" as one of the benefits of hidden services.

I think that's an overlooked feature that would in many cases be enough of a reason for one to use them, even without caring for the added privacy.

Gitlab also took VC money and have an exit as their only option. Doubt they'll get as far as GitHub did though, and the option to just grow slowly into a solid independent business is off the table. Probably an acquihire with small return to investors.

One point that is often lost on the discussions of fake video/"deepfake" is that this development won't only make it easier to fool people into believing something that's made up, but it might also make people more distrustful of things which are actually true.

When it's been spread out enough that anything can be doctored to an indistinguishable extent, everything becomes deniable by those being caught, and the skepticism explosion is going to raise the bar for investigative journalism / actual evidence to standards high enough that few will have the resources to produce them.

I think the Brave Browser and associated Basic Attention Token (BAT) are a step in the right direction. It's hard to escape ad revenue if you want to avoid paywalls, but Brave at least gives users privacy, control, and revenue share.
