My 2024 review and high-level report. Let's start with some stats for the nostr.build:

- 720 Million media requests served

- 650 TiB of bandwidth consumed

- 8 Million unique visitors

- 85% average cache hit rate

- Improved median CPU time per request from 200 down to 2 milliseconds per request

- 20 requests per second are served on average

- 99.994% uptime for the hosted media

- 98% uptime for the website and uploading servers

- 2.5K daily free uploads on average

Some improvements for the free uploads:

- Increased free upload size from 10MiB to 50MiB

- Increased image resolution from 1980px to 3840px

- Increased per server RAM from 1GiB to 4GiB

- Added full mirror of all uploaded media to the additional vendor (backup)

- Implemented moderation headers (can be used to hide NSFW content if desired)

Now some of the stats of my dev work for the nostr.build:

- 1,333 git commits

- 42 repositories with my contributions

- 10k+ lines of code written, or changed

Some features and completed projects:

- Rewritten nostr.build account page (AI, stats, nostr share, drag-n-drop, variaty of sizes, poster for video, etc.)

- Added AI Studio, onboarded multiple models from SD and Flux.

- Added media statistics

- Rewritten media serving front-end (dropping CPU utilization by 100x) and improving TTFB as well as cache hit rate (from 50%+ to 85%+ on average)

- Implemented variaty of the spam, and other illegal media upload prevention mechanisms (automated AI media scanner, PhotoDNA scanner, etc.)

- Implemented AI Moderation API that is shareable with other nostr media hosts (e.g., nostrcheck.me)

- Implemented upload of pdf, zip, etc., with full virus scanning.

- Various improvements to the PHP code, bug fixes and optimizations.

- Implemented e.nostr.build to allow easy embedding and sharing of the video/audio files for the account holders

- Referal links and account credits

- Onboarded more nostr clients for uploads (e.g., YakiHonne)

Some of the prototyping I've done for nostr.build:

- Semantic search of the media (ML based), multilingual

- Basic search for media using AI Vision

- Video transcoding using serverless and server-based setups

- Video transcoding to DASH/HLS (CMAF)

- Multi-party audio/video chat

Some of the in-flight projects that I'll have to complete in 2025:

- Seamless implementation of the Blossom protocol (70% done)

- Rewrite of the post-upload scanning to utilize workflows (50% done)

- New video upload and transcoding experience, HLS, DASH, VBR video/audio (10% done)

- New NoSQL based data-plane backend with the new API (50% done)

- Full rewrite of the Accounts page (5% done, blocked by new API and data-plane)

- Additional models for the AI Studio (90% done)

- (25% done)

I am sure I am forgetting a bunch, and this is only done from my memory.

It’s finally here!

I need to pay 11.25 USD with Tether on Tron, and I have a Lightning wallet.

Is this possible? Recommendations?

So far:

- Aqua Wallet asks for a minimum 72 USDT

- Fixedfloat gives me an invoice but none of my wallets can find a route

- Sideshift asks for onchain for the swap and a minumum 76000 sats, same for two other exchanges

I am not optimistic about things getting better with iPhones, Macs, Windows or Google Android devices. If anything they will get ever more intrusive.

Anyone serious about decentralisation and freedom should look at using degoogled Android versions (Graphene OS is great) and Linux for personal computing.

Other than habit, what is stopping you?

My parents said goodbye to their husky earlier today. Duke was a great doggy. 💜🤙🏻🫂 My dad is very upset. He wanted a husky most of his life. He never had one. We always had other dogs when I was a kid. Finally, he got one about 15 years ago. Goodbye Dukey, we'll miss you.

Good morning 🌄 #nostr

If we know that consistency is the key to success, how do we keep ourselves consistent?

For me it is a regular negotiation and battle with my mind.

Let's take an example from today.

I don't have very strict training routine, but I still keep doing that regularly. Now I know that my last training was on Sunday, so today would be a great day for a follow up.

But them my mind starts procrastinating, suggesting that maybe it is not the right day or let's do that later today, etc.

I have one part of me telling, I want to do it, but another suggesting not and builds this uncomfortable feeling. When this starts to happen, I already know that this is it, this is a trickstery of my mind, I just need to shut it down and do it. Something just clicks inside me.

The same concept I apply in other areas of my life. When I start feeling this trickstery of my mind, I know that this is it, this is the thing, I must do it for own good and success 💪

In the end, I am glad I did my training and went to a run 🏃 and some other exercises.

The best win we can achieve today, is a win over ourselves!

Hat jemand ne Idee?

AMD ryzen 7950X3D oder 9950X? 😂

Anwendung ist ein mix aus rendern, KI Training programmieren und 50% der Zeit zum zocken. Wird gepaart mit einer RTX 4080 super und 32GB 6000er ram. Mainboard hat einen X870E chipsatz und ist das aorus Elite wifi7.

Kann mich einfach nicht entscheiden. Ist ein neuer Aufbau. 😂
