[tor-project] intrigeri's report, September 2024

Hi,

In case you missed it, Tails is now part of Tor:
https://blog.torproject.org/tor-tails-join-forces/

Time-off
========

This was as short work months: I took 2 weeks off for personal
reasons. I'm back.

User-visible
============

- I reviewed the doc sajolida wrote to mitigate SBAT-related boot
  failures

  https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/20471

- I gathered stats from bug reports to verify that our new idea
  (credits: sajolida) makes sense wrt. reporting errors about the
  partition table, partition header, and resizing. We plan to start
  designing and implementing in October.

- Always notify users of N.x that they should upgrade to (N+1).y

  https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/20542

- Fixed recent(ish) regressions

  - Spurious error message on Tails sticks installed a long time ago
    https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/20519

Project and outreach
====================

- I attended the Global Gathering, together with a lovely crew of Tor
  people.

- I helped a tiny bit with the messaging of the Tails/Tor
  merge announcement.

Team lead
=========

Most of my time left was used to set up new processes, integrating
with the other Tor teams.

Cheers,
