Yes. I think what I wanted to say is you can set up Tor PoW for an onion in addition to currently using Cloudflare for clearnet, but sounds like that will be part of the server migration rather than happening now. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for being open to it. It's a casual project, probably any time in the next 2 weeks would be fine. At the next opportunity I have I'll PM you the script.

 

I'm looking for a place I can post one-off jobs, like to help get me unblocked during software development after I've spent hours on what should be a tiny issue. I know these market-type communities can be hard to moderate though.

To be honest, I didn't verify the signature when I installed it. The download is over TLS (HTTPS) so you know you have a secure connection with the F-Droid server during the download. But because of the tiny chance the F-Droid website was hacked at the time you download it, you should verify the signature.

 

I wrote a 168-line Python script that visualizes web traffic using PyQt5. It primarily uses a QGraphicsScene to draw the visualization, and you can scroll to see the whole thing and zoom in using ctrl+scroll wheel.

I want to show a permanent "time line" at the bottom which just shows a labeled time axis, with notches noting the date and time of the current scroll position at intervals which make sense based on the zoom. I added another view which draws a time line and synchronizes in scale and scroll position with the main QGraphicsScene.

However, when scrolling it leaves random visual artifacts as if it's not redrawing properly, and also my implementation of the time notches is wrong.

If you can solve these problems (it's 121 lines of Qt) I am happy to pay 0.19 XMR/$30 USD for the trouble and probably more for future work. This is a side project and this thing has been blocking me.

Tor introduced native DDoS protection for onion services using a transparent Proof-of-Work defense over a year ago: https://blog.torproject.org/introducing-proof-of-work-defense-for-onion-services/

You should strongly consider making the switch and turning on this feature. I was very surprised to find that this instance was being Cloudflare blocked. Maybe we could help with funding if needed.
