Re: [tor-relays] tor-relays Digest, Vol 35, Issue 25



i don't know, who knows how tor-weather sends the t-shirt e-mail.
i took a look at the code and found that the mail is sent after 1464 hours of uptime (=61 days), checking every hour.

according to this the downtime due to updates is really not that relevant.
i'd guess that there are approx. 3 or 4 updates in the required 2 months, which would "cost" you an equivalent amount of hours.
i don't think that it matters whether you get your mail 3 or 4 hours later.

so i think the algorithm is fine.

I agree with that point, because currently, relay operators have the
incentive to not update to the latest Tor version whenever a new
version is released, in order to keep the consecutive uptime high.
That is probably not in the best interest of Tor.

Maybe Tor Weather could look at the flags instead of the consecutive
uptime instead. For example, you typically don't lose your Guard or
Stable flag due to a reboot.
