What are the benefits of running a personal relay?
Yo, I've ported nostr-rs-relay (https://sr.ht/~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay/) to windows. Look like it work pretty fine, so I can embed it into Lume and work as Personal Relay.

It’s your generated nostr content (think backup) and not having to depend on relays to keep for you
Ok got it thanks. I only ever saw one people advertising their own relay yet. I wonder if that'll become a thing.
They’re important if you care enough about your content to safe guard it.
They’re trivial to set up on node runner software (umbrella, start9).
Most are here memeing away so it’s like whatever. Don’t believe it’s for the masses however the few who earn a living here or use as nostr as an integral part of their day it’s great to have.
decentralization (can open via .onion) more relays + backup of own notes if intranet only
