I am upgrading my witness hardware given the Hive price spike.
My backup witness deserves a nice new 1Tb NvME SSD for Black Friday to hold this precious blockchain (not my 5 cobbled together small old SSDs which fail occasionally)

Are you going to stick with Windows? I'm sure everything would be better on solid Ubuntu boxes.

I have one pure Ubuntu witness box (that's what's getting the SSD upgrade) and one Windows (WSL2 Ubuntu) witness box that serves some other purposes too.
GM!
That’s it… I need to bring my HIVE node back. Sick of relying on distance to be in sync with my @atexoras.witness Hive-Engine node. I think its legitimate to work on this weekend given the HIVE milestone.
Plus, I am not sure if there is any witnesses on New Zealand…
You are using the small foot print DB @blocktrades posted about many months ago or the old thing?
BTW: if you need to download the whole blockchain then axel is way faster (4x) than wget.
I downloaded the whole 470Gb in 5.5 hours on a home fiber connection.
Nice discovery... didn't know about it. Will add it to work place too.
This weekend... reading the MIRA stuff first.
That is great! So you run a local server for the witness, instead of remote one?
Yes. Both my witness servers are PCs I, own and built myself (repurposed PoW mining rigs).
I have them at home on a fast fibre connection with a UPS.
