👨‍💻 software developer 🔒 secure element firmware dev 📨 nostr.land relay all opinions are my own.

why would you use relay.tools? that is pretty easy: not everyone has the knowledge to run their own relays or wants to bother with the actual hosting,

strfry is decent, my biggest pet peeve is that it is extremely hard to customize

did you restart the LB? I saw a few reconnects in the last few mins after the connection succeeded

yes. 403 I would assume to be some sort of rate limit issue, while 410 would indicate this is gone, don’t try again for a while (every 1d if the relay is seen)

I am also pushing an update that fixes the bug with automatic retries, backing off until reaching 1h if there are 10 failed requests

relay.tools uses strfry relays on Contabo with haproxy

also it’s NFDB, not noswhere, and I wouldn’t call it trash since it is still pre-production and the test relay has been working as well as strfry does for me

wss://nfdb.noswhere.com

There is a moderation status header, not sure what is named but just request any bew image and it should show up. Note: this may take a few minutes to appear.

You can use a HEAD request to only get headers without refetching the entire image

If someone doesn’t judge their own work or line of work, then that is a big 🚩🚩🚩

wow who could have thought that IP addresses gave away your rough location and caches could leak if files were… cached?

this attack is completely negated if you use a VPN

next I’m going to see another post by NVK about how computers can leak data while completely glossing over how it also applies to HWWs nostr:note1tyslxcw5xs5mukmhfa8g9fpq65exswygy5jeev73xqvu2nk9j2hqngph8j

also you cannot factory reset it, it has no self-wipe feature after a certain number of attempte, it does not support taproot, you cannot import your own seed, and the only way to backup it is to export an encrypted BIP-32 xprv

drawbacks of it being coinkite also apply

There is a patent on a specific way of calculating the carry bit on an adder

What the fuck
