snowflake
* a highly concurrent client (capable of managing many
simultaneous peer connections) that could do N:M multiplexing between
downstream and upstream connections
* very observable so that it could send lots of status
information to the UI
* Distributed Snowflake Server Support will be included in Tor
Browser Testing Channel(Alpha) Soon:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/merge_requests/571
* snowflake-01 got 20% increase of usage the last 24h, after being

Itchy Onion: 2022-11-03
Last week:
- Increase the number of snowflake proxies spawned in RACE and
ran it against the CI test. I was able to pass every time (6 times in
total). But since Tuesday I've been having trouble starting a new
deployment with Rib. I've been in talk with TwoSix but so far nothing
has helped.
This week:
- Fixed the Rib issue. Now snowflake passes CI tests 100%.
