Previously, when the refresh-rate timer activated, and the thread from the previous activation was still running, we would kill it and start a new one. For low refresh rates, on slower machines, nodes, or network connections, this could cause the update to never conclude. Here we add a timeout-time to eth-watcher's config. If the refresh-rate timer activates, and a thread exists, but hasn't been running for at least the specified timeout-time yet, we simply take no action, and wait for the next refresh timer. Note that we opted for "at least timeout-time", instead of killing & restarting directly after the specified timeout-time has passed, to avoid having to handle an extra timer flow. In the +on-load logic, we configure the timeout-time for existing watchdogs as six times the refresh-rate. We want to set azimuth-tracker's timeout-time to ~m30, and don't care much about other, less-likely-to-be-active use cases of eth-watcher. |

Urbit
A personal server operating function.
The Urbit address space, Azimuth, is now live on the Ethereum blockchain. You can find it at
0x223c067f8cf28ae173ee5cafea60ca44c335fecborazimuth.eth. Owners of Azimuth points (galaxies, stars, or planets) can view or manage them using Bridge, and can also use them to boot Arvo, the Urbit OS.
Install
To install and run Urbit, please follow the instructions at urbit.org/docs/getting-started/. You'll be on the live network in a few minutes.
If you're interested in Urbit development, keep reading.
Development
Urbit uses Nix to manage builds. On Linux and macOS you can install Nix via:
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
The Makefile in the project's root directory contains useful phony targets for building, installing, testing, and so on. You can use it to avoid dealing with Nix explicitly.
To build Urbit, for example, use:
make build
The test suite can similarly be run via a simple:
make test
Note that some of the Makefile targets need access to pills tracked via git LFS, so you'll also need to have those available locally:
git lfs install
git lfs pull
