I have not personally had any serious problems with Hetzner, and price is the main reason that I’ve chosen them over other providers.

Tor Project In this week I have looked at metrics-bot being compliant with the Tor metrics team’s Java style guide (#24080 ) and integrating it into a unified package naming scheme (#24036 ).

Free Software Efforts (2017W43)

Here’s my weekly report for week 43 of 2017. This has been a quiet week. Tor Project In this week metrics-bot has had some issues where Onionoo was disappearing (#23928 ). I have been building in better error handling for requests to external services. I’ve also started to investigate other templates for status updates that might be useful (#23937 ), and have added a configuration framework to allow for credentials for services to be externally provided (#23933 ).
