Should I tried to parse the 42GB of traffic I collected in the first 2 days of running a Tor exit node?

@matrix thanks for reminding me how important it is to encrypt all my traffic
@matrix I never bother with stuff like that unless the cops ask
@matrix @sampo well, before introduction of guard nodes, if XYZ agency had traffic from 1/2 of exit nodes, they could deanonymize the traffic via node-change correlation.
@matrix when my node was new I got two visits from them over a relatively short period of time, they left me alone after realising it's just an exit and haven't shown up since. they wanted to have all the logs and stuff though, dunno what they were gonna do with it
@lain @matrix the finnish police is pretty nice and easy to deal with, they were both very polite and not accusing or anything, I didn't mind it at all.
@sampo @matrix @lain it's so nice to live somewhere where police is actually seen as a friend
@shpuld @matrix @lain yeah, seeing people bitch and moan about the police all over the internet really makes me appreciate it
@sampo @matrix once police here knocked on my door with 8 people and was like 'are you holding a woman hostage here' but they were still friendly.

@sampo Logs show nothing though and nobody captures packets unless they want to.

@matrix yeah I don't snoop on the traffic or anything, all of the data they got should've been worth nothing. I guess it's just something that they do, but like I said I haven't seen them since so they probably won't even bother with it again
