Removed all onion v2s. Links to git soon.

This link looks suspicious with its behavior?

once you open it then it will redirect you to clearnet version.

Removed all onion v2s. Updated those onion v2 to onion v3 where I could find a onion v3. But we lost many onion time sources.

Indeed. That is weird. Removed.

We have now only ~ 8 onions per pool. From previously ~ 15 onions per pool.

From sdwdate log:

sdwdate - INFO - failed_urls: 1 allowed_failures: 2

Before: allowed_failures: 5

From sdwdate config:

## Allowed percentage of url failures common to every pool.
## If sdwdate frequently stops with "Maximum allowed number of failures" error,
## create a file "/etc/sdwdate.d/50_user.conf" overriding MAX_FAILURE_RATIO
## with a higher figure.
MAX_FAILURE_RATIO=0.34

MAX_FAILURE_RATIO=0.34 is now too low.

Here’s a few more that might be suitable.

If you are looking for more suitable v3 onions then I suggest maybe using this indexed list - see: Ahmia - Hidden service list

Or better still, searching for reputable onions - see: Search results for — Ahmia

Edit: strike-through text for ones already in the pool.

Thank you for this clarification (sdwdate Time Sources Criteria)

I suggest lowering the request timeout threshold, so sdwdate does not hang for long times on broken links.

I would be hesitant of using CTemplar’s v3 onion for sdwdate unless we are very desperate. PrivacyTools.IO issues (https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/1642) is worth reading. The owner seems rather untrustworthy in my view. Tacit promotion of his service may encourage users to use that service and he is rather manipulable under pressure to say the least. A) good that he is not anonymous, B) bad that he behaves in an unsavory manner.

Done for both posted suggestions - please add the rest. That is 49 additional v3 onions which should be great for the pools i.e. ~+16 for each.

You mean this one?

I coudnt find the evidence that their clearnet website is the one mirrored to the mentioned onion v3 (no headers nor they mention it in their website)

this will redirect to:

http://rpzgejae7cxxst5vysqsijblti4duzn3kjsmn43ddi2l3jblhk4a44id.onion/wlupload.en.html

doesnt effect timing right? and which one to add? cc @Patrick

onion website looks very empty, clearnet without https… i dont feel comfortable adding it. i wont add it unless someone else willing to do that.


All of the above added (Except what i asked question about) plus ddg v3:
