What? Your provider lied to you / scammed you, Spectre/Meltdown etc. mitigations have nothing to do with applications freezing or having to get a faster downstream/upstream speed.. at worst there's a 5-10% performance hit if you don't have the newest CPU microcode installed and an OS that makes use of the new insturctions (use the latest linux kernel and intel-ucode if you can). 2020-10-11 16:48 GMT, Random Tor Node Operator <t...@unterderbruecke.de>: > Hi all, > > some weeks ago, my relay JPsi2 > (F6EC46933CE8D4FAD5CCDAA8B1C5A377685FC521) started experiencing moderate > stability problems.
