That also works. We're doing stuff like that with Orly, where you have your follow list as the guide and it figures out the mailboxes for all of your follows and looks for their stuff over there.
That's more personalized and dynamic, but communities usually have some core relays, that are like hubs.
Like I was saying, a community expects some moderation, archiving, etc. from admins. Different that a more p2p setup.
I do both, but with different apps. Basically.
They do. But to me the "hub" is just the "hint" on how to get most of the posts/member information. Reaching out to people's outbox and inbox relays will bring more stuff that wasn't sent to those core relays.
But it does make things very complicated when you consider everything users can choose.
Well, we were building new, so that wasn't really a problem. But you end up juggling a gazillion connections and in the end they don't really use their relay lists. They just look at band. 😕
If posts are not there, those connections are basically zero cost. They are just checking in...
But if they are there. Then there is a massive difference.
i woke up today and orly was broken. kept on dropping connections. tried different commits, same behaviour. i'm in the process of writing a minimal new reverse proxy to reinstate the go vanity redirector so it works again but it made me so mad i canceled all my VPS services.
i don't know whether it was the reverse proxy dropping the connections, or if something else was involved, so i'm working backwards to get it working.
nostr:npub1acr7ycax3t7ne8xzt0kfhh33cfd5z4h8z3ntk00erpd7zxlqzy3qrn2tqw just vibe coded an NWC client that can be set up to allow orly to manage a subscription scheme, 1 month free, and then you have to zap it like 6000 sats per month of use. when i couldn't get anything to work >_<
i'm in a very bad mood today. i'm sure it is the reverse proxy, but i wanted to just ditch the whole thing and cry.
What's orly?
Don't give up. Coding is hard.
i'm not able to be certain at this point if it was not my code at all but actually the fucking network connection. but i can't do anything work-wise at all either way. the new job is javascript and idk where anything is or what anything does or what needs doing there either.
at this point it looks like i'm gonna take a trip to the airport or something to pick up a prepaid data sim just to be able to get online again, since best case probably any other solutions are no sooner than friday and knowing how shit stuff is on this island, could be next week, and i need to be able to work by monday.
or i could just turn off the computer and stare at the ceiling and read the bible in between that. lol
well, one possibility, i just got done reverting the reverse proxy to the original codebase, and dropping in the nip-05 and go vanity redirects feature into it. if i deploy it and put orly back on the new VPS and run the test rig here it might prove to just be the reverse proxy after all.
i still need more reliable internet at this point tho. friday is another 3 days away. lol
Our network has been dodgy all day, and it's not in our house.
yeah, the geomagnetic storm also adding to the fun. and it rained last night after i finally got my washing done. and extra fun, this house doesn't have an earth circuit in the wall sockets and when i washed my rugs, finally, full of dust from the old place that makes my cat cough, i got zapped by the 240v - nbd tho, i mean 240V isn't that full on, you have to be really doing the wrong thing to get stunned by it, not even burned fingertips from the touch but omg
starting to regret moving right now, but maybe things will get better.
i have run out of nerves for today tho, probably gonna just try and sleep until the sun rises at this point. i got no brain left for any problems at this point, it's been problem after problem all day long.
