2026-02-28 20:16:23 CET

Actually was kindof fun, fending off the DDoS last night. Haven't really had that much excitement for a long while. Once i got back online and sighed relief that they failed to balloon my bills or anything and reminded me that, nostr shit is real shit. It may just seem like failure and a lot of GMs to most but we are building a decentralized network that has made 'the list'. Our biggest users are the ones trying to stop people from communicating. They have a lotta moneys, but we have source codes and many nodes.

2026-02-28 11:36:09 CET

Nostr1 relay operators, rate limits have been put in effect on all relays due to an on-going DDoS attack. Since I have never had to turn this on previously, I am curious if it will have any impact on you. If you see a 403, that means you are on an hour cool-down, and may have your IP blocked for longer if we start to tip over. If you see a 429, try to back off or you will be put on cool-down. The limits should be fairly permissive, but since we have never had to do this before no doubt everyone and their apps are used to unlimited rates.
That's all for now, stay tuned or hmu with any questions via the usual channels. If you need adjustments made we can do that when I return from sleeps.

2026-02-25 19:00:43 CET

For those who's grants are about to expire. Consider your plans, study the recent failures that had their plans directly invalidated by AI (tailwind, lnbits, .. many others).. Consider the successes (open claw, RedHat). It is very possible there are new opportunities for plans that did not work previously. Whatever you do, don't put it off till the last minute.

I may not be good at products business, but I'm good at professional services business. I think this is the one type of business that open source will continue to support. It's always been this way for me, being in devops most of my career. I would always pick products that were open vs. closed, and this leads to some good outcomes such as the business you work for not being tied into a bunch of 3rd party contracts, more flexibility for the companies needs and integrations, and more employment.
Aside from that, for nostr in particular, the source we generate makes it easier for nostr to spread by training the AI with more code per-capita than other competing ideas like bsky. This snowball effect will eventually lead to more employment opportunities for working on nostr services than for other less popular or closed ideas.
Open source has always been a really hard business to model, very few successes vs. product businesses that draw investment easier and scale without more humans. However, it does still power most of the world's compute so, generally I would say it is possible to succeed. Look at openclaw, this is a good example. There were likely hundereds of product companies that built a similar thing all to be crushed in a few months by open source, and the dev did pretty good for himself. That's a unicorn exit for opensource, the likes of which I am not sure I've ever seen.
This is exciting times, I think nostr did a good job training the AI, and that means all the devs that put effort into it mostly-selflessly made this happen. The code lives on past the abandoned projects and becomes something new faster than ever was possible before.
The downsides and upsides are there for sure, it is worth coming up with an opensource business plan for your company if you choose to go this route so that you can succeed as a business. Blindly running an opensource business without a plan, is not likely to succeed and given it's a lot harder than a product company it should be given more thought and consideration vs. shooting from the hip.

100% it is, and it's both normal users with lots of time on their hands and sophisticated attacks meant to harass people off the protocol. This is based on my own observations of the pattern for the last 3 years..

2026-02-23 19:58:13 CET

- reply

yeah, sorry @Seth I was unable to implement nip29 for relay.tools.. It's somewhat of an unfortunate fork in nostr imho that added so much complication to the backend I just could not justify adding it yet.. I was also waiting to see if "it takes off", which it did not seem to. The stickyness of users frequenting group clients was just not there due to manybugs and lack of native clients/notifications.
I believe some nip29 clients can still use 'normal' relays but the moderation and basically everything is not supported.
I still think relay feeds as groups themselves, are super nice and accomplish much of what we want in a nip29 group. So that has remained my focus (relay centric clients like jumble, relaytools-android, yakihonne)

you will never win this battle without auth on the relay. prob already turning away users cause bots can always limit lower than a typical users client can..

if you would like, you can make a very small test harness for me to run .. I can run it locally with the NIP42 auth and collect the exact packet sequence over the socket and we could see what the culprit is..
It can be hard to diagnose this stuff when you can't see this, and I realize it's easier for me to run it since I have a local environment for testing.

for example: when I want to do a search, i go to a relay like primus.nostr1.com and I load a hundered thousand events or so into RelayTools-android direct and then fulltext search that.

nip50 but on a relay that is your outbox feed would be ideal, instead of using spam ridden or centralized relays that will die off or sell our data.

i would use a profile cache for follows at least, even if on citrine.. i think most are @ someone that they follow and would ease this pain..

What is supposed to happen is the relay sends AUTH as the very first message. Some clients will ignore this and send a REQ or EVENT. In that case, it sends the proper close or true=false, and another AUTH. It continues to repeat this pattern until the AUTH response has been received. Then it will allow REQs and EVENTs.. I have not seen it fail to send the subscription results, typically this is a race condition in the client.
I would be happy to fix this if it's a bug, but I'm going to have to write another test suite to confirm what you're saying because it seems to work just fine for my client and the other clients I've tested. I have also verified using wireshark the sequencing of the websocket messages.

trauma dumping on friends and social media only makes you feel good for 5-10 min. just sayin 🏝️
imagine all your problems as an island and you slowly floating away from them and breath in 5 seconds, hold 5 seconds, breath out slowly. repeat. play some bi-neural beats.
