Tor might be good karma, but running a relay node is also a good way to be complicit in the sharing of illicit materials. Run this at your own risk
As is placing network hardware to connect people around the world. What a ridiculous statement.

No, the ridiculous thing is pretending that the rest of the world views technology the way that you (and many others - myself included!) think that it _should_, rather than in the way that it _does_. You may believe, with some justification, that authorities _should_ treat "running a Tor node" and "running network hardware" as equally responsible for the data transferred on them - but the fact of the matter is that they _don't_, and so caution is advisable.

#17Wow, this just seems like a terrible idea all around. Just run the individual service you wish to run. Especially mixing in for profit companies, tor nodes, and not for profit services like Folding@Home seems very dangerous.
It seems someone is trying to pass some less tasteful containers in the name of more reputable ones.
