And I just saw today's blog post about the new status page. Congrats on launching this! Someone is reading my mind :)
But is there any good source for historical data on incidents or re: the questions below? Also, is there currently some monitoring in place such that someone on the Tor team gets a phonecall or SMS alert if onion services seem to be globally down? Several projects I’ve been a part of over the years have benefitted immensely from this, using tools like PagerDuty, so I’m curious if Tor has something like this for onion services. Great work and I’m curious to learn more!! —Holmes > On May 5, 2021, at 3:27 PM, Holmes Wilson <h...@zbay.llc> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I’m building a messaging app based on Tor v3 onion services and I’m wondering > what kind of uptime expectations we should set with users and other > stakeholders. > > Is there data over time on uptime for onion service functionality?
