Comment (by cypherpunks):

 The uptime column on the search page is confusing. For both running and
 non-running relays the uptime is shown which makes no sense for the later.
 IMO the strike through isn't enough to clear up that confusion.
 Furthermore, the uptime of non-running relays is only shown on the search
 page (with the strike through) while the details page shows the downtime
 (which is better IMO). Finally, the online/offline dot in the first column
 better communicates the status of the relays than the strike through.
 Because of these reasons i think the uptime column should be removed from
 the search page.

 Now on to the details pages. When a relay is running it shows the uptime
 which is based on the `last_restarted` field from Onionoo according to
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/atlas.git/tree/js/models/relay.js?id=a2b3f23f0212a16ae410d513749b535fdbe6bc5a#n180
 js/models/relay.js:180]. The `last_restarted` field is also shown in its
 unparsed state further down the properties column. This is duplicate
 information (relative versus absolute) so i'm in favor of removing the
 `Last Restarted` field on the details page.

 When a relay is non-running it shows the downtime and the last seen
 timestamp. The downtime is based on the `last_seen` field from Onionoo
 according to
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/atlas.git/tree/js/models/relay.js?id=a2b3f23f0212a16ae410d513749b535fdbe6bc5a#n187
 js/models/relay.js:187]. This is duplicate information (relative versus
 absolute) so i'm in favor of removing the `Last Seen` field on the details
 page.

 I'd be happy to create a patch for these changes if they are approved.
