#[2] where is your relay hosted? Geographically also. 🐶🐾🫡
So glad to have you! ♥️

Oracle Cloud, on a 10 Core Ampere instance.
Ashburn, VA, USA
I see! Too far for me, latency will be a killer. Thank you! 🐶🐾🫡🫂
Those pesky oceans 🌊😂🫂💜🤙
I have considered expanding, but I haven't hit triple digits yet of subs. Prolly will add one in Asia and one in Europe then. Have to look at some Internet topology maps to determine how to best spread them.
Good point! Wine is spread wide, so works great for me! 🐶🐾🫡
I would consider increasing prices if you go wider, assuming it will have much more additional cost for you! 🐶🐾🫂
Yes, some. That was part of my choice for Oracle. Ampere is much cheaper, but there is still cost.
I always had issues with Oracle. When I finally managed to open my account with them, they told me to pissoff if I wanted more regions. So I closed it promptly! Never again for me! 🐶🐾🫡
Very cool to hear your thinking!
Does geography factor into all of your relays decisions?
Talking this out loud I guess it makes sense to be on a few big public ones like Damus, Munity and nostr.band.
And then pay for a few really fast and good ones.
Where in your decision making process would you nix a relay based on too far away geographic wise?
Yes! I do consider how far the relay is and the round trip of the packet. I try to go no further than west coast US and try to avoid EU due to huge latency from Asia! 🐶🐾🫡
