[tor-relays] Consensus Weight Definiton

[teor]

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.

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.

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.
