I happened to wonder about reload times and think that this is nice to
have visible here.
Syslog is used by default and I am expecting it so it probably won't
hurt being visible.
Removed my weird comment and added refresh_delay to OpenNIC. I am using
p2 instead of ph as per the wiki as apparently they don't consider
balancing queries over multiple services as important as speed, so maybe
I don't have to worry about that either.
Learning that I don't have to specify servers there is a lot more
variety even if I start requiring more things, as Sedric says to
see 33 live servers, I guess dnscrypt servers in general respect
privacy. However I guess I still have to trust on what the servers
say as AFAIK dnscrypt-proxy is only that, a proxy, and won't start
validating dnssec by itself.
Pacaur has been deprecated and I hope that yay which was suggested to
me at IRC does the same thing considering their README says:
> Yay is based on the design of yaourt, apacman and pacaur.
* add invictus, it's not mine, but neither are roubaix (dnscrypt-proxy
dislikes dashes?) and this file is meant for just my use, so does it
matter what it contains?
At the moment I am having problem with mikaela.info being in HSTS
preload list and when I begun this list, I was hoping to use something
conflict free and thought that mikaela.info would be the least bad
choice while reading the reserver domains.
Now I have searched on the issues more and encountered .internal TLD
that seems to be what I am after and I hope it will become official.

I think I can change these addresses safely as I am not using them
anywhere as I worry about accidentally sending them to the internet and
that opening new problems. This will mainly benefit me with web
browsers, I hope.
I will still have to link other people to direct IPv6 addresses that
won't change with the platforms I use or mikaela.info will not be in the
HSTS preload lists at time I need it. I wouldn't memorize IPv4 addresses
though or start telling them someone in quick chat.
It took me some time a few days ago to figure out this (and notice that
port 80 was already used by automatically installed Apache that was
doing nothing).
I have understood that ports 443 (Orport) and 80 (Dirport) are the best
for users behind strict firewalls especially if they aren't needed for
anything else on the system running Tor relay.
I don't think I like this very much, but it's supposed to be easier on
eyes and maybe I will get used to it especially after some migraine
light sensitivity attacks...
* Comment that the fastest server is automatically picked.
* Explicitly don't filter AAAA requests.
* Require provider to not do filtering
* which is implied by DNSSEC which would get broken.
* Use Google DNS B as fallback resolver and explain what it does in
comment.
* Add commented options for using Tor.
Polipo is no longer maintained and it seems that I am doing the same
thing with Privoxy except censoring accept-language which I need to
investigate. I think Privoxy warned about changing headers possibly
making ones fingerprint more unique and thus trackable? But aren't those
also going inside https so maybe there is no point?
Dnscrypt-proxy appears to handle multiple servers by itself nowadays and
does it in the config file. The servers listed may also be down.
Ref: #92 where I remembered these files still being here.
