I now have a private relay that anyone can read but only my npubs can write to at wss://relay.utxo.one

My hope is that more clients will use the gossip model like snort and easily discover my relay to find all my notes without anyone manually adding it to their list.

Now I'm 100% certain all my notes can live forever and never be censored :)

How did you set it up?

Very easy, running rs-relay and you just add your npubs to the config file

Thank you sir! Do you just have it running 24/7 on a spare machine then?

Nice! I’m planning to do the same. Have not dwell into relay. Only browse around and saw there’s one with nodejs.

Also one question, what specs of a machine is needed to run this relay?

I'm running this on a very old junk laptop, probably worth $50

The hard part is clients which don't really follow NIP-65, Coracle is the closest one so far (and the gossip desktop app)

Do you think Snort gets this right? I just checked my relays there and they are not at all the ones I correctly see on metadata.nostr.com

I'm not sure if they do or not, but I know it's the right idea

interesting, might do the same ⚑

i just set one up for myself. am i right that it is only backing up events going forward. is there a way to use it to backup my history?

There probably is a way to backup old notes but I dunno how to do it πŸ˜
