  [https]
          proxy = socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050/

tor onion service:
- set up vanity `.onion` w/ mkp224o
- updated `deploy.rb` to accept `DEPLOY_BASE_URL`
- git config --global --add safe.directory /store/www/pabstordmsrzhushs5drpb5mtb2ml56iyacidsjfebl2jlss65rlbsqd.onion/git
- deploying as static site to nginx
- using unix socket instead of port
