We can fight each other or we can align against those who think people shouldn't be allowed to make their own choices. Do we want to repeat the mistake that got us into the mess Trump's getting us out of?.

And here are the two maintenance windows. Fortunately, all is even better now and I expect to consider the hub in production very soon. 2/2

After a week of solid operation my hub had a rough day. But it was for a very good reason -- the switch it's connected to received a massive upgrade and my bandwidth measurements are much better now. These images so the solid operation. 1/2

Got my XRP belt on, wearing an XRP t-shirt, holding an XRP rewards credit card at XRPresso … someone pinch me?

I'd be a bit concerned if the 10% latency line ever hit 200ms. That still wouldn't have a real-world impact, but would be concerning. Since I restarted the server five days ago, it's never gone over 33ms.

I'm puzzled (though not concerned) by the latency spikes. They only occur when outbound bandwidth usage is higher than usual (though its always well within what the system should easily handle) but do not occur every time outbound bandwidth is higher than usual.

Last three days look good and my hub should be ready to be considered in production next week.

Yay! I wish more State courts would robustly enforce the Eight Amendment's prohibition on excessive fines and penalties. Totally right here.

I have no idea what this is about but just reading this letter, it seems extremely inappropriate and borderline corrupt to me.
Ed Martin’s latest stunt: pressuring someone he is criminally investigating to resign from public office “as an act of good faith.”

I included the bandwidth chart twice and forgot the peer disconnection chart! Fortunately, it's very boring.

Here's the past 24 hours. All good. There is one spike in latency that only affected a few links that were already poor. The tiny drop in network b/w appears to be a monitoring dropout and doesn't show on the switch port's monitoring. I think we're nearly production ready.

I think the glitch was just one minute where for some reason the monitoring system didn't gather data. I'm working on some improvements to the collector that might fix this, but it's not likely a hub issue.

The past 24 hours of the hub's performance looks solid. There's a tiny glitch at 12:58 that might be the monitoring system. Currently it's handling 11,000 requests per second from 173 peers with about 0.006 seconds from the average request coming in to the reply going out.

This is a lie. All the court held was that physically assaulting someone to remove their Israeli flag was evidence that could help show that the assault was motivated by racial or religious animus.
NEW: US federal court has ruled that burning Israeli flags is now illegal, deeming it an act of “racial discrimination” not of political protest. It is still legal to burn American flags in the US.

I have my first bit of weird data from the hub. I'm tracking peer round-trip latency at application level and there was a weird spike that shows significantly worse performance for a period of about 15 minutes. The spike starts at about 1:59 AM PDT. The thing that puzzles me
