From e17d4b05a12fe1b567ef4d55d2f01c23ff48228d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alyssa Ross Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 21:30:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] nixos/tor: don't do privoxy stuff by default It's very surprising that services.tor.client.enable would set services.privoxy.enable. This violates the principle of least astonishment, because it's Privoxy that can integrate with Tor, rather than the other way around. So this patch moves the Privoxy Tor integration to the Privoxy module, and it also disables it by default. This change is documented in the release notes.
