Fortasse (whonix.org webmaster) and I agreed to take down the hidden service for whonix.org http://xxxxxxxxxxh5kyrx.onion.
(If you’re wondering, why we provided a hidden service, but didn’t use it for location privacy, see:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Forcing_.onion_on_Whonix.org)
The reason for this unfortunate change is, that the Tor service on whonix.org took an immense amount of CPU time. So much, that whole whonix.org was no longer accessible without server reboot.
The bug we’re affected from has probably already been reported:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8864
Unfortunately, it is unlikely, that this bug gets fixed anytime soon:
