and more! Thank you nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 and nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac 💜
Excellent!
Ok now I want to cosplay as Vader at conferences
I still have a shameful Windows PC with an old Nvidia card in a corner of my room because I need that frame rate rippin' for Beat Saber 🫠
It's got a dummy HDMI plug so I only ever interact with it via Parsec or via a headset.
It does a good job reminding me why Windows is bad.
> saves bandwidth for clients
Clients should be smarter about how and when they connect to relays. This just hides the problem at the expense of relay bandwidth. Using this will accelerate the need for relays to begin requiring nip42 auth and restricting read access.
I guess I need to do this sooner than later. Maybe Primal cache is something we can run for free.
#127.0.0.1

The framing of the story in the economist:
> Across Europe, a revolt of the peasants is brewing. From Belgium to Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Spain, farmers are up in arms. A sector used to exorbitant privileges—roughly one-third of the eu’s budget goes on subsidies to the common agricultural policy, after all—has felt them slip from its grasp. It is in many ways a familiar story, of a privileged caste sensing its status declining. For what is Europe if not an attempt to hold on to things as they once were in a changing world? Being wed to tradition and yet buffeted by modernising forces is the story of the continent writ large, as Europeans feeling the swoosh of China, India and others zooming past can attest. Farmers are not the only Europeans who would like the world to stop so that they can get off (and retire early).

New relay backend?
This is so good 😆
there is a really big problem brewing in #nostr
there is no client to test a relay with
the clients all have logic to try other relays all the time for whatever reasons
the clients don't show clear information about the status of connections with relays
the clients for whatever reason decline to send messages to the relays
i set up three users all connected to one relay and have them all follow each other and nothing comes up on the #coracle feed page, though i can copy the links to the posts each one makes and see them in the others
how can i test that my relay works if the client assumes it can't rely on one relay to see events?
i tried to talk some sense into nostr:nprofile1qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsz8mhwden5te0dehhxarj94ex2mrp0yhxummtda6xzun09e3k7mf0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qqswuyd9ml6qcxd92h6pleptfrcqucvvjy39vg4wx7mv9wm8kakyujgw3tmmj about this, about how his gossip client refuses to respect any kind of settings for choice of relays and nostr:nprofile1qyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshszxthwden5te0dphkgmrzdajzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcqyztuwzjyxe4x2dwpgken87tna2rdlhpd02va5cvvgrrywpddnr3jyhdw0my 's client is almost good with NIP-42 but fails because it's running off on its own picking relays to talk to
EVEN WHEN I HAVE SET ONLY ONE AND SET ONLY ONE IN FORCE_RELAYS
there is no way to test a relay standalone in this entire ecosystem right now
you can't be sure your relay is working, it's not possible to be sure it's working, the client doesn't let you be sure, none of them
if anyone knows of a client that does, i'm all ears but at this point it looks to me like i'm going to be building a basic CLI client so i can at least depend on it NOT ASKNIG THE WHOLD YFIVGLU LDKjfa;sidjf;aisdjhf;aiklshdjf;akljhdf;ajkhsdf;jkahsdf
#asknostr
noscl can sanity check r/w on a relay with nominal config.
I have managed to torture snort into showing a single relay. But it only works if you don't login
A relay test mode in a proper client would be a nice feature. I'll have to try nostrudel.

No idea if the clients I use support it! I'll have to check. Might be time to switch if they don't.
It's a bit dangerous in terms of opsec. Why not at home via Tor?
