Sounds like you might want to put some care into which relays you're using. This sort of thing is why some people advocate running your own relay, in addition to using others. Even if everyone else goes down, you still have a copy of all of your content.

Though in my experience sometimes you just need to do a hard reload on the webpage (ctrl+F5) or clear your app cache in the case of amethyst and it'll all come right in.

Thanks.,

it doesn't seem to have been just me, but a very strange thing...

I did send them some sats, so I'm hoping to get a good use of their service.

Do you run Citrine?

I don't currently run my own relay, as I normally host anything on my desktop which recently suffered a dead PSU (15 years of being online...). I should probably give Citrine a look though if only to take the advixe I'm passing along.

yeah so far its been pretty stable

for a patch job of random hacked together NIPs anyway 😆

I feel like it's the sort of thing that folks who were online in the late 90's and early 2000's feel totally at home in (if not prior), reminiscent of some of the patchwork of things both online as well as even local software (ask anyone who was around how fun it was getting back from the store with a copy of Quake 3 Arena and then needing to go through multiple rounds of installing dependencies, upgrading graphics drivers from your provider's website, and patching the game itself before you could even start playing...).

As for folks that never knew life without an app store with automagic configuration and curated content, it may come with a bit of a learning curve.

Basically, people who experienced some degree of freedom in their technology in the past, vs those who only know life from inside the gilded cage.

With great power comes great responsibility.

But that said, nothing says we can't have freedom to create things how we like them, as well as the refinement to make them polished and smooth. It just sometimes takes a bit more thought because people are doing to do things without running them by the boss that doesn't exist first.
