This is a very good point actually.

DNS IS corporate.

And we should also, like my friend nostr:npub19mun7qwdyjf7qs3456u8kyxncjn5u2n7klpu4utgy68k4aenzj6synjnft once asked, beware of how many relays are in AWS, GCP and Azure controlled machines. It would be good to have some idea of that percentage and make people aware.

One of the project on my ever expanding list is to write a relay in Clojure and get it running on a Raspberry Pi in my office, and then get an IP address from my ISP. No domain name, just an IP.

So I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that there is at least one open source project you can add to.

The bad news is that I tried to run it and I was unable to.

But also, if you feel that you want to build a relay from scratch, which would be cool, I can share that I'm using one off-the-shelf build in c++ and it seems its not that straight forward. It needs some extra steps. Some clients also require you to be behind ssl...

But still very excited about it when it does work. Its really nice and I think even necessary, to have your own relay.
