Work full-time in a day job.

Lol. Was gonna say this.
Except they just kicked me out of the restaurant so I'm gonna be kind of living off my savings / whatever website clients I can scrape up Until the other job that I had lined up finally hands me an offer.
Funny that he didn't list a day job. People don't realize that many of us basically have two jobs, and only one is paid.
The relays and the file host definitely don't pay for themselves. 😅 But I'm always tinkering and doing maintenance.
We're finally getting enough zaps to pay all of our infrastructure suppliers, and occasionally zap someone, but that's it. All of our own servers and man-hours are self-financed.
Hell yeah, I'll get there eventually. The NostrCheck Software has a payment plugin, but I haven't really configured it yet.
so you are getting cheap education, amirite?
full disclosure, i did this also when i started a tech support business... solved my own problems, a dude said "you can solve these problems, we should sell you to solve those problems" and on the government dime sponsored me my first marketing campaign and i folded and deliverd them all and got a raging response
and i just used my silver tongue to waffle past those several hour long periods where i was like "wtf" and eventually got their solution and win... i charged X hours and didn't change for my learning process and they were cool
that went on for a decade... i definitely was born with the silver tongue, but only for technical things... i am really good at making you think that i know your shit nearly as good as you
but it's all for good
because i also want to help you get better even if i'm not seasoned in your realm of operations
Oh yeah, it's extremely educational. I've learned a lot about the nuts and bolts of noster just by running a relays.
Because it's how I currently get by but it's getting more and more unbearable so I forgot to list it. 🫠
