Just 300GB on the largest Nostr relay?? These are rookie numbers. π
Nuked?
Boom. π₯
Total collapse? π±
Moore's Law: an observation that data storage doubles every two years or so.
Will's Law: just nuke the data and you don't need storage.
Don't forget to rebroadcast all of your old notes back to relay.damus.io!
*ducks*
brb getting someone to write a script to do it for all active npubs
π
people should! Let me remove the old post limit
What will you use all that free space for now?
This whole Damus relay #theNuking thing, got me thinking. Why not have some relays that are space limited?
say 50gb, the notes get stored in a nuking que destorying the okdest notes asap when space limit is reached.
From time to time I consider my own relay and I think βshort termβ storage of notes to be sufficient for most use cases. This would be the kind of thing I would do.
Short term storage is in some sense more natural for more conversational stuff. Like talking to people irl, are generally a short storage event.
Btw, for huge relays another idea would be a similar que system; but counted in notes per npub. aka free storage 1k notes per npub the delete the oldest.
Yes, humans didnβt evolve within a state of having months of prior interactions, so it seems pretty unnecessary for normal interactions. in some sense the expectation of having forever data is created by or at least subsidized by the benefit of the platforms mining that data for something they can sell of you.
Spot on!
Personally I often prefer setting chat services to message decay / dissappearin messages. Always feel chatting becomes more natural after that. :)
300 GB is a lot of porn to upload.... π #lol
