[tor-relays] Tor Weather getting T-shirt email. Problem

[Thomas Hand]

I've run several middle relays for over a year but they keep getting
knocked down due to circuit creation storms (on RPIs) or powercuts or
updates or some other issue. Yes uptime is important, but 100% is not
practical for most relay operators. Also, if you want a  shirt so badly,
donate to Tor! In fact, I just realised I do want a shirt!
