So in order to scale relays you need to have your own data center or rent a third party service like AWS that might be a bad decision cause they can easily censor or kick you out! What’s the other solutions? 🧐

Self hosting a somewhat decent server is actually doable. And for the time being, running a relay isn't super demanding

I self host mine. That is only way.

For how long it will lasts ?

For now relay holds decent. No prety much incentive will be problem in future when relay have to be more robust.

start9 embassy provides this function, self hosted for those able to spin up their own node.

Eventually raspberry pi will not be enough and also that’s a private relay

It’s never enough.

Does AWS have a history of not allowing paying customers? Not sure this is an actual issue. I’ve stood one up in GCP and AWS it’s no issue. Tore down because no real use… if I can round up enough free credits gonna keep up actually up on IBM multicloud

The point of decentralization not being dependent on the 3rd party services! So, I better figure out the ways and funds for a good server rather than going to someone! I haven’t done a math but I think that once we will have let’s say 1 billion people on #nostr it will be tough running something at home

How do you currently run a relay at home? ALL isp's where I live block basically all incoming ports. I haven't been able to self host anything properly because of this.

Scaling what? Isn't the most demanding thing harddrive space?

I'm curious if current relays store the bulky native json or more compact binary structures

that escalated quickly from play computer to data center

😂😂😂

Data center 😁

Oh no! A shadowy super hacker!
