FWIW - in my experience, once you get things setup & dialed-in there is no need for daily poking at it. My load balanced pools have been running for months with only the occasional intervention required by me. > On Jun 21, 2019, at 6:21 AM, Hendrik Visage <hvis...@envisage.co.za> wrote: > > The word “cluster” there is the “problem” for hobby setups: we now have to > source at least 2x 8GB RAM VMs, where the previous single 2-4GB VMs were > sufficient to keep going I can understand the frustration, but things change and in the current state of the SKS network more resources are required. I’d also say the idea of this being a “hobby” is in direct opposition to this being a public, production service that people rely on which IMO would always dictate at least 3 nodes for redundancy. > On Jun 21, 2019, at 12:33 AM, Kristian Fiskerstrand > <kristian.fiskerstr...@sumptuouscapital.com> wrote: > > No, issuing certificates to servers not being able to keep up doesn't > improve the experience from anyone (the number of complaints I get from > users has dropped significantly).

This could mean that people are having less issues with the HKPS pool, but it’s also possible there are other reasons for a decrease in complaints. Personally, I switched my systems (and the systems of users I support) away from using the HKPS pool in favor of using my server(s) due to the ongoing complaints about intermittent availability & performance issues in the HKPS pool. That’s not meant as a dig on your approach, just letting you know my experience. On the contrary, I found you to be quite responsive last September when I reported a major issue with 2/3 of the servers in the HKPS pool generating 502 errors. -T
