Stalemate 0.6.2

This is Stalemate, think EndGame but in rust. This does NOT use NGINX.

Changes:

Added Padding by default and added the OB (non-PoW compat) patch for testing, should be very stable.

Read the ReadMe.md for a crontab fix for Arti connection issues. I would consider this a stable release.

PRO TIP

If you get 502's make the crontab entry more aggressive

And vice versa

If for some reason you don't need it to run Stalemate or can make it less aggressive that would be recommended!

(Also please report your specs if possible and uptime to me)

Questions.

- Why "Stalemate" over Endgame?

- If not NGINX, what do you recommend?

Rust is marginally faster to Lua

But Lua paired with NGINX makes sense on here

Convince me as to why I should use Stalemate over Endgame

If I'm convinced, I will try it out, test it, and leave a review about it :)

*Assuming URL provided is using Stalemate.. onionsite is disconnected

No the Onion is just OnionShare.

It uses Pingora over NGINX.

Stalemate is a good choice over EndGame when you want to be able to scale up, not just out. It uses:

- Arti

- Pingora

So both your reverse proxy and onion router are async rust from the ground up with Stalemate.

We'd love if you can test it! We also have a PoW and custom RSBalance build we're working on but it's not available for public testing yet.
