Look at your "observed" bandwidth. This is what limits your relay usage. Also you don't have Guard flag. Once your observed bandwith go higher and you get Guard flag - more users will be connecting to your relay.

[@riversiderocks]

More users but not necessarily more bandwidth, bandwidth can actually drop when the guard flag is added

[@jamess1787]

Lulz. Like 15 years ago, I ran a Tor relay node at a family members house, it was part of a CDN project that a few friends and I did (pre-cloud, we were some of the OG's). I figured we could maximize our internet prestige by running relays. Anyway, one of the relays uptime was amazeballs with a broadband "high throughput" connection (limited to: 10mbps/2mbps), somehow made its way on "top lists" and the throughput shot through the roof. It was constantly maxing out the configured bandwidth. It got "so bad" that one of the CDN's ISPs sent them a "nasty" notice in the mail accusing them or being part of a dangerous underground network distributing malware and a bunch of other rubbish. (We kept our stuff clean, constantly scanning and removing threats.) It's been a while, might reconsider... Gotta look into registering a business, paying for a VPN and writing off the expense before I run another node 🤣.

[@zackwilloughby9185]

Speaking in speculation. I feel the reason these videos are not doing as well as some of the others is because people like me are waiting until we have the capabilities to accomplish the mission before watching.

you should run your relays on BSD, or something that isn’t linux. like 95% of relays run linux, which isn’t very diverse at all, and it means an exploit could cripple the whole tor network

Good luck putting a big enough solar panel for 24/7 operation anywhere "covertly". You might get a couple of days to a few weeks out of it before someone finds it and steals/wrecks it, or the store owner discovers and blocks it, or the local glowies do their spooky shit and you end up in a very interesting situation. Exit nodes are a risk, and the more effort you put into mitigating that risk, the more it looks like you're trying to do something that warrants giving you a very interesting time over it. Probably better to leave running exit nodes to people who can't be touched by courts because they ain't doing anything that can be held against them!

according to the urban dictionary, a glowie is: Normally used for the CIA but also used for agencies like the ATF, FBI, etc. Their inability to blend into the native population's habits, patterns and speech makes them stick out like a sore thumb to the population, hence they "glow in the dark." The most common trappings of government shills are their inability/hesitation to use the major racial slurs, improper use of memes, and the pushing of mainstream political theories.
