FWIW - in my experience, once you get things setup & dialed-in there is no need
for daily poking at it. My load balanced pools have been running for months
with only the occasional intervention required by me.

I can understand the frustration, but things change and in the current state of
the SKS network more resources are required. I’d also say the idea of this
being a “hobby” is in direct opposition to this being a public, production
service that people rely on which IMO would always dictate at least 3 nodes for
redundancy.

This could mean that people are having less issues with the HKPS pool, but it’s
also possible there are other reasons for a decrease in complaints. Personally,
I switched my systems (and the systems of users I support) away from using the
HKPS pool in favor of using my server(s) due to the ongoing complaints about
intermittent availability & performance issues in the HKPS pool. That’s not
meant as a dig on your approach, just letting you know my experience. On the
contrary, I found you to be quite responsive last September when I reported a
major issue with 2/3 of the servers in the HKPS pool generating 502 errors.
