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

[Oliver Schönefeld]

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.
