Do I get credit for the first ever #nostr note sent from a #sailplane !? 🤙🫂

Nice! If ever want to do one on cybersec/opsec or infrastructure I'd be glad to contribute. 🤙
So far we've had about 10k visitors to https://nostr.do for sharing nostr invites. Looks like one was popular on Facebook as referrer.
I had similar idea to offer for relay operators and people in need of infrastructure architecture/cybersec help. A lot of devs try to do infrastructure (how hard can it be right!?) and need help.
It's possible, but data storage is the cheapest part of hosting a relay. The actual instance (compute) is usually the most expensive part. If right size everything and leverage Docker containers can keep costs down for a very robust network like we have. Of course the more data the more processing so have to take into account.
I see monthly paid relays as possible but most with one time is not sustainable. Some popular paid relays are black boxes which is hard to know what paying for.
I see paid relays as a stop-gap measure to try to prevent spam. I run nostr:npub16fcy8ynknssdv7s487nh4p2h4vr3aun64lpfea45d7h4sts9jheqevshgh as a non-profit to ensure there is no need for sponsorships. Have applied for grants and get some donations to cover costs. The big issue with relays is I see many are literally just one server (single point of failure). As well as being siloed, so if a big relay goes offline a huge chunk of nostr will as well. Promoting streaming between relays and clear ToS/Privacy Policies and how data is managed is key to #grownostr . I have posted a lot on this but few relay operators engage in the discussion.
Yeah we need to bring back Diphtheria, HPV, Hepatitis, Mumps, Polio, Tetanus, Whooping Cough...
People are such pussies nowadays. 🤣🤣🤣
