the number of relays on people's lists that are invalid, don't resolve, have expired or wrong TLS certs, is amazing, truly

and then of those that remain, almost none actually send out a valid nip-11 relay information document

i have written this spider code now so that as it finds invalid, malformed, non resolving etc relay addresses, it deletes them from the list, after quite an extensive process of sanitizing these addresses

the number of relays that actually exist is melting away in front of my eyes, i'm wondering how many wil be left by the time it's finished iterating the 2000 or so
