It brings me joy to see so many faces here today.
Take it slowly. It hurts a lot at first but gets easier.
I think about 20 relays is a pretty decent number for a client. After a certain amount more relays is going to slow you down. We should have lots of topics specific relays in the future. As well as large paid relays to meet people.
He's still going to jail for at least two years for shooting indoors
Should be able to get into the thousands with a 1 gigabit connection at home. But after that yeah people should use paid relays like yours with automatic cloud scaling paid for by Bitcoin.
I'm running a relay on a raspberry pi4 with my 1gig fiber connection basically for free.
So generally for backends you make your code available under the agpl version 3. And so anyone who is running your relay software must provide the source code and installation instructions to anyone who has accessed it.
That gives users a great or feeling of confidence that there is no malicious code.
If you really don't want others making money from your work you can provide the source code under a Business Source License. Which allows users to few your code but not run it for business purposes.
I understand you feel your work is being stolen by sharing it but tbh, you yourself can't really compete with a bunch of FOSS devs. I make pull request to FOSS projects all the time. So open source relays are gonna grow to be better than your code quickly anyways.
The best way to make money is to provide a superior service imo.
Look at grapheneOS. They have 6 full time devs all from donations. And want to hire 6 more
It absolutely does. It could be saving IP addresses when it doesn't need to. It could be censoring without the users knowledge. Given some users priority over others. I would prefer a highly transparent open source paid relay. I think most people if given the option of using a fast paid closed source relay or a slow open source paid relay they will choose the open source one.
Anyways I won't use or recommend to others a closed source relay. If I wanted to use closed source software I would be using twitter. But good luck.
The fediverse has grown great with open source backends. I don't see a reason for anyone to use a closed source relay to be honest.
Is it open source? I'm happy to pay extra if you are giving your changes on to the public.
I'm not against thicc girls either though. I remember dating a half black girl with a huuuge ass. It was really comfortable from behind. And then when I was done I could use the giant butt as a pillow to recover while she played on her phone. Dudes should definitely try a girl with a giant butt before they marry a skinny woman so they know what they could be missing out on.
Closing off the reddit API was a big part of it. The woke folk were using bots with the API to control reddit narrative. Without a freely available API that has become harder. The worst people of reddit migrated to lemmy. Reddit is actually a little better after that.
Slender. These "Thick" girls are just fat and wear corsets to give the allusion of a skinny waist. Of course if a women genuinely has a skinny waist, a big butt and big tits that is more desirable than a really skinny woman. Those are firtility signs.
