Caught Up: History Node Optimization and Life

Hey everyone,

I have been quiet lately, though I am still lurking in the shadows. Transitioning to a graveyard shift (11 PM – 7 AM) has been a significant adjustment. "Adulting" is a demanding boss, and my off days have mostly been dedicated to recovery.

The Job Site, at least what it feels like at times.

Node Update: Modernized and Optimized

I want to extend a huge shout-out to @forkyishere for providing the history snapshot and assisting with the update testing. My history node is now fully caught up and modernized.

Early testing show a slight speed increase, which is a fantastic result. Once the PR is approved, the update will be ready for the rest of the world (all 2 Hive-Engine History nodes 😅).

Infrastructure Status

The node is currently live and stable, though not yet publicly accessible. I still need to finalize the DNS settings and configure the necessary ports. I will prioritize these finishing touches as soon as my sleep schedule allows.

In the meantime, I am still building, experimenting, and keeping my head up despite the "real life" grind.

As always,
Michael Garcia a.k.a. TheCrazyGM

I really appreciate the slow and steady progress, and huge thanks to @forkyishere for keeping up with the snapshots!
