Ben Ark has been wonderful to hear at Nostriga - He did a workshop where he shared how to make simple iot switches running a nostr relay that you can control with a dm to its npub, the possibilities for distributed hardware are endless 😎 sooooo cool

We like both, but replacing the one with the other is a nonstarter, for me, as it eliminates entire use cases and the case for relays is stronger, as there are already a gazillion distributed systems.
