All notes are ephemeral! Relays are not a permanent storage and only one #nukening away from a clean slate 🐢🐾🫑

Good!

anyone want eternal storage of notes can use own private relay just for archiving n bakcup once a year

those who do not prepare for the nukening by not having a mechanism to back up their relay's event database invites disaster

i'm going to slate a feature in my relay where users on the "owner" list of the configuration can send a special type of request that returns the entire database

currently i just have an import/export that reads in and puts out .jsonl but you have to stop the relay to do this, it would be good to have the option to request the output, or a special request that pulls everything, feeding it back in, i have already created a tool for this, it pulls events of a set of kinds and authors from one relay and publishes them to another, so most of the code is written already
