Hi,
You talked about using homebrew to automatically update tor. How do you launch tor? Des homebrew restart tor when it is updated?
Because tor doesn't update to the new version until you restart it.

Thank you. And I’m not asking for a for sure response, just generally what you think, would an about 40 minute downtime (what I had this morning) majorly effect my time between failures after about 106 hours of solid uptime?
If your relay fails after 106 hours, the average time before failure will get closer to 106 hours.
If you want to know how this might affect the stable flag, you can find the thresholds on consensus-health, and check if they are more or less than 106 hours. Read people's previous responses to your emails for details.
Sorry to keep emailing but trying to keep my relay as useful as possible to the network.
The tor network has significant redundancy. There are thousands of relays. Clients adapt to changes and just use another relay.
You seem really worried, so I'm going to repeat some advice from an earlier email:
Do your best to run a relay. Keep it updated. Stop worrying. Just relax.
