(general updates about subjects I enjoy, HIVE and things I am doing around this community)
Still, very mild traffic of course and that's good for now. Buys me more time! 😁
On a previous post I have announced my official public RPC and P2P public addresses for my Hive Engine full-node. I am now adding the Full Node history node too. If you wish to add another node to your project that is hosted in New Zealand and protected by Cloudflare, then come definitely to have a look at these:
https://he.atexoras.com:2083/ (for RPC)
https://he.atexoras.com:2053/ (for P2P)
https://he.atexoras.com:8443/ (for API) - NEW Hive-Engine History!
Any feedback/problems, please contact me or check if there are any problems with these via the UpTimeRobot Monitor.
If you need more nodes, look at https://primersion.com/he-witnesses (you can click on them for extra details). As usual, if you are looking into running a node yourself, and you don't know where to start, drop by me on Discord or just ask below.
Using home equipment is VERY possible! 😎 - all you need is patience...
If you already found the news, 3Speak has reviewed the next stage of the network evolution with the ability to stake LARYNX and delegate them to others.
This allows people to (similar to how you vote for witnesses) support the nodes you see best protecting the network. At the same time, you will earn 0.015% SPK tokens, instead of the 0.010% you would win if only powered the LARYNX tokens. You can go to https://vue.dlux.io/me#spk to power up and delegate.
I have now moved the node I had to Cloudflare too at https://spkcc.atexoras.com:2087 that should give you something like this:

For me to keep checking on what I am doing, mostly. If some are not achieved, then I will move them to 2023. It's important to document what you do.
✅ Upgrade my router+firewall
✅ MongoDB light-node (using 
✅ Do a bit of work on a script I have for the "archiving" of snapshots for when things go very bad (now offloaded to external drives)
✅ (ongoing) HPUD 3x 1k HIVE delegations giveaways
✅ (ongoing) Occasionally go to people voting for LONG-stale witnesses and do a bit of voting awareness.
✅ Support at least one DHF project (with technical advice, review and/or direction) - I think I overachieved this one... currently on 3!!! but still managing😅 - let there be more 🔥 😝
✅ Continue exploring SSL based traffic use-cases in order to make benefit from 3rd party tools/solutions like Cloudflare and minimize node exposure
✅ Add the Hive-Engine History node (https://he.atexoras.com:8443)
✅ IPv6 (light and full node now using IPv6 too, with IPv4 for backward compatibility)
💭 (maybe) revive the google drive snapshots service for light nodes (only makes sense if the number of users running light-nodes increases exponentially)
✅ Maintain Honeycomb type nodes as active as possible on DLUX, 3Speak and Ragnarok side-chains. Support them as possible.
👁🗨 Create an internal IPFS node to support Honeycomb side-chains (internally at first and primarily)
👁🗨 Explore ZFS (requires more memory) as a potential replacement for XFS
Also on my list, but initially longer-term things... and these get updated as I learn more from them and plan my time strategicaly!
👁🗨 ISP upgrade (pending install) 😱
👁🗨 More 128GB to 256GB ram for new projects! - THIS COSTS!!!! 🤬
👁🗨 Newer CPUs (at least one new 16-core Zen3 by the end of 2022 is my objective, but in addition, a new host might be on the list for smaller stuff)
💥 (probably not going to happen) Trying to create a new Storage Cluster (Ceph most likely) of (3-5) x nodes... but there are no resources... 😣 This would be awesome for future growth and versatility - maybe a 2023 thing...
I will continue to help new 🐟 users as much as I can... being that via the 
But in general, anyone seeking genuine help through me will have 100% dedication... primarily free.
Disclaimer: I am not a Cyborg or Robot and therefore I might not be always available promptly, but I will eventually follow up with you. I also have a life. 😋
Have fun, good luck on all the gaming, learning, and when/if you are up to, teaching new things to newcomers, showing them how interesting is this place.
Follow for #news about the #HIVE #Blockchain, and other stuff. I sometimes get crazy with what happens around social media. I am following all HIVE users! No promises of behaviour. 😁
