Love Mead. If you've had it and didn't enjoy, try a different one.
This is where I first tasted Mead:

Thanks very much for the detailed information. I've made a note in Obsidian to store it and will let you know how it turns out.
I'm guessing Cumin was 'a pinch of'.

hah you're welcome.
You can do an awful lot with a cable. I've some modded usb thumb drives which act as both storage and a keyboard. Plug them in and off they go running whatever scripts are programmed on them. They reduce the time at desk to compromise a machine down to seconds.

Maybe your relays are a long way from you. What do the response times look like for the ones you have connected to?

I might try and figure out a monitoring dashboard on a development relay so you can see the performance of my relay. At the minute it is 4cpu and 24gb ram and 100gb disk. Hosted in London

I think it's important to realise that there will always be free relays. You'll never get locked into a paid only nostr environment.
My relay is there to give a little something back to the community. There's a small 8888 sat charge but you won't see any spam on it, simply because spammers won't pay if there is a free relay they can spam instead.
Additionally, the paid relays I've used aren't swamped with users so as a result, they are quick.

If you want to try the relay, send me your invoice and I'll repay it.

2023-02-14 11:36:32 UTC

I'm curious about #umbrel and the relay setup.
Why does everyone setup tailscale to access it over the internet instead of configuring the relay to only accept connections from particular npub's?
Is it not that configurable when deployed on Umbrel?

Hey. Apologies for not replying to your message the other day. I'm hosting one (which needs rebuilding, on Oracle). This week when I'm on holiday I think I'll build another public one.
Where did you end up hosting yours?
I'll try and help with yours if I can though I'm by no means an expert with relays.

Thanks both. I think excalidraw is the closest to what I saw. If I can't find it I may adopt this instead. As a bonus is integrates into obsidian.md. 😁

2023-02-07 19:05:46 UTC

As far as I know, relays don't by default perform inter-relays of notes. You post to multiple relays and anyone connected to them sees your notes.
I think there might be some relays which do aggregate message from multiple relays and present a unified feed though. #[4] will likely know as I'm sure nostrgram is/will do this.

2023-02-07 17:39:35 UTC

Interesting questions. 🙂
What do you mean by maintain follower count? That it is consistent across multiple clients?
Cleaning up I think will involve paid relays in the short term. Then mid term I can see it evolving into a trust/score based system like this: https://member.cash/a/804fc6e860
Another option is if relays charge a really low number of sats to post.
Are the notes you make really important to keep or a nice to have? If important, perhaps a very low powered private relay that you add to your list would suffice? Or something like https://nostrgraph.net/archive
I'm enjoying the evolution of the platform at the moment but I think we need to think differently as it's our data running on volunteers systems rather than big corp. Sooner or later we're going to have to pay a little. This will be the hard part to swallow after so many years of 'free' things.

I found them earlier when making a pull request. Really nice :)
Is the plan to colour the offline relays on the map in red/orange if they are offline?
Also, why is there so many more relays on 'next', they can't all be in PR's surely?

2023-02-06 20:21:58 UTC

- reply

I like this idea.
Definitely consider both monthly and an annual fee.
It's a shame there isn't an easy way to geo locate a person at payment time which wouldn't get abused. You could then set rates per country/region so as to be inclusive globally.
After seeing the stellar work and effort you have put in since I've been here, I'll still pay to support and no have ads. I hope you can find a way to keep going.

I have 9 relays, mostly private. It's fast but still a little spammy.
Regarding specs of relays mine will have:
4 core
24Gb ram
4Gbps network
Do those specs look ok @DerekRoss?
What other information do people need when choosing a relay? (public and private)
Hosted in the UK as we only had one the other day but should be fast enough for most places to use.
My plan is if this relay works I will spin up more relays in different locations.

Well I couldn't resist poking at it a bit last night and got a new relay up and grafana installed. Just need to figure out how to adjust nginx so it serves port 9000 somewhere.
Would you mind exporting your config when you have a minute please? Hopefully I'll have figured out the remaining bits this afternoon.

2023-02-05 14:05:02 UTC

Not a fan of spamming a relay with old notes just to archive them either.
We could have a waybackmachine setup for nostr though. If a relay owner is shutting down, they could contact 'thearchiver' relay and submit their historic notes to this relay. It would host in read only mode so people can discover content.
If it only hosted text, it shouldn't take up much space right?
What am I missing about this approach besides the single point of failure?
