I just installed Oniux on my Linux Mint machine and created an alias. I had to update Rust. Hope that doesn't break anything.

I like that you don't need to download and install a TOR browser or browser extension. You can now put any application behind TOR.

Introducing oniux: Kernel-level Tor isolation for any Linux app :linux: :tor:

oniux is a tool written by me and some other folks for isolating arbitrary applications through Tor using Linux namespaces.

Check out the amazing blog post!

@ojs it's a triple header so each team plays two matches against each of the other two teams 😊

The last match ended with 201 to Copenhagen against 86 to Unicorn. Thanks to the Icelandic hosts for a wonderful triple header 😁

Final score on the scoreboard. 201 to Copenhagen vs 86 to Unicorn.

Copenhagen is leading over Unicorn here in the break. IMO (an absolute roller derby newb) a much more physical game than the first match today.

The highlight for me so far was Speeda (CPH's 42) scored 16 and 20 points in two consecutive jams 🤯

Sadly missed the 2nd half of this match as I was doing some "grocery" shopping for the afterparty tonight, but it ended with a victory to the Unicorns! 189 to 154.

Scoreboard showing the final score: 189 to the Unicorns and 154 to Ragnarök.

2nd match: Ragnarok against Unicorn (UK), the Unicorns have the lead but it has been a very exciting match so far.
