[tor-relays] Operating system diversity?

2014-06-17 Thread Jonathan D. Proulx
Hi All, In the recent thread relating to Debian relay Puppet modules it was suggested that a greater diversity of operating systems in tor nodes wooudl be preferable. I'm not sure if this was meant as a technical or aesthetic preference, but I am curious. Is there any technical benefit to

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Yes, especially when hitting Enter after sudo -u debian-tor arm Then it took a few seconds and the relay resumed. It never seemed to have these problems when running on it's own, so I think this is just due to the limited resources of the pi

Running top in a separate SSH session shows ~50% load average. I imagine spikes would cause the CLI interruptions and maybe relay unresponsive/resumed notices. Did you have the same blank uptime issue? On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 2:08 PM, Elrippo elri...@elrippoisland.net wrote: -BEGIN PGP

[tor-relays] Advertised Bandwidth increasing

Hi I'm running the new, imaginatively-nicknamed kingqueenbtnftw relay. I have read around a lot but something I don't get. I thought advertised bandwidth was what I'd put in torrc whereas consensus weight was what some uber-machines tested my relay at, with the idea that this can foil

Hello Jodie, Ah right, thank you, so advertised bandwidth and consensus weight are both essentially other computers' assessment of the game relay's throughput, though different computers and in different ways. Thanks -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
