Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

tl;dr: how about a virtual global flat LAN that maps static IPs to onion addresses?

[We all know the story][1]. Random feature gets unintentionally picked up as the main reason for buying/using a certain product, despite the creator's intention being different or more general. (PC: spreadsheets; Internet: porn; smartphones: messaging.)

Scaling your API with rate limiters

The following are examples of the four types rate limiters discussed in the accompanying blog post. In the examples below I've used pseudocode-like Ruby, so if you're unfamiliar with Ruby you should be able to easily translate this approach to other languages. Complete examples in Ruby are also provided later in this gist.

In most cases you'll want all these examples to be classes, but I've used simple functions here to keep the code samples brief.

Request rate limiter

This uses a basic token bucket algorithm and relies on the fact that Redis scripts execute atomically. No other operations can run between fetching the count and writing the new count.

quick way to start testing ES6 code with a real browser (using create-react-app and Jasmine)
create-react-app comes with Jest which is awesome, but sometimes you need a real DOM/browser to test with. Here's a quick way to get up and running testing your app.
1. Create a *separate* app for testing, using create-react-app:
```
create-react-app tests
cd tests
```
2. Modify the index.html to include the Jasmine spec runner (see index.html below)
3. Modify the index.js to just run your tests rather than bootstrap a React app. (see index.js below)

How to use docker-compose in GitLab CI
# Using edge-git ensures we're always pulling the latest
# You can lock into a specific version using the *-git tags

# If you only need compose in a specific step definitely put this
# only in that step so it's not executed unnecessarily
