Whoa looks pretty badass!
FIXING MY FAILED TAG - nostr:npub1x3azxuysp5vmfer4vgs4jn5tmfcx4ew8sh0qnev7gczljxsr7jwqa3g4el
Finally smthn like that π«‘ Love the builders of nostr
Defo im going to try it
It works incredibly well. Highly recommend. They just rolled out pubkey whitelisting ability too, I believe.
Kind of a big deal. Looks like what ive been looking for. Will add to my queue to check out.
This did not play well with Damus at all. Had like 20 crashes in a row after adding it

Yes! LFG!
So it's like a vpn for your relays. Interesting that the description only pitches it as a tool for bandwidth reduction, when it also obfuscates your ip from relays.
Explain how to use it like I'm a boomer

A SINGLE RELAY THAT CONNECTS TO MANY RELAYS.
SHOULD GIVE YOU DATA SAVINGS, BATTERY SAVINGS, AND PRIVACY BENEFITS.
TRADEOFF IS CENSORSHIP RISK.
NEED TO DIG IN DEEPER BUT FIGURED I WOULD BLAST IT OUT INTO THE HIVEMIND.
Odell gave it a bad name.
It should be called a relay aggregator.
One stop shop for all recent Nostr updates.
I like bouncing boobs
> saves bandwidth for clients
Clients should be smarter about how and when they connect to relays. This just hides the problem at the expense of relay bandwidth. Using this will accelerate the need for relays to begin requiring nip42 auth and restricting read access.
I guess I need to do this sooner than later. Maybe Primal cache is something we can run for free.
just block any bostr socket by triggering via the client user-agent header if you do not like. anything that gives http status code from 400-499 is enough for the bouncer to stop connecting again.
Had to remove this relay. It kept crashing Damus for me.
I filed some crash reports. nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

Seems really nice !

CAN WE GET RID OF NPM ? please
YES! Fuck decentralization and censorship resistance.. Here, have my keys too and just feed me
