Yesterday and overnight seen a few variations on the spam attacks. With nostr:npub16fcy8ynknssdv7s487nh4p2h4vr3aun64lpfea45d7h4sts9jheqevshgh noticed some Chinese language posts mentioning using Relayable relays. Not long after saw our US relay getting an influx of Chinese language posts and Spam from Chinese IPs. Which is odd since someone in mainland China would be directed by our latency based DNS routing to our Singapore relay.

These spam posts are much more evasive than others usng short or long string. Seems to be effecting a lot of relays. We have blocked IPs and found sources of a lot of the spam. The previous spam over weekend was tracked to US and Spain IPs. Adding more policies to thwart these type of attacks. If run relay feel free to DM me for the IP list. πŸ€™πŸ«‚

Examples:

I could be completely wrong here, but is it possible the Chinese government would use a tactic like this to get the IPs coming out of China blocked in order to block Nostr usage to the average citizen? The fact that it's coming directly from the mainland makes me wonder.

Since they can't firewall Nostr, get the Nostr interfaces to block them instead? I realize they could also go to the relay directories and find and block that way too, but this just seems to fill gaps?

If they don't want people talking on Nostr in the first place, they don't care if they get blocked, right? πŸ€”

Be self-sovereign. Running a node is the best way to use Bitcoin! It's not that hard if you use node software (MyNode, Umbrul, Raspblitz, Start 9, etc). Could be a good couple's project and you'll learn lots. πŸ‘

For those who want some chill Piano music on a Saturday night. If you like it you can zap/boost. ;)

Thanks for the music npub17sgyptvc8tr4zphv3cpwperj4vgwjps7ukdlp9qlznzreck6d2gs3l0cd7

Haha, ok. The way the thread was displayed was confusing then.

Exploration is part of the fun. Only a few clients have the ability to repost and comment, like twitter, most just repost.

It's a good idea to try out a few Nostr clients (aka viewers) and find one that works best for you.

Love these! Usually eat them with butter or jam. I have a recipe from my grandma that can make biscuits or cinnamon rolls from the same recipe.

I was confused by the "not homemade" part, because that's exactly what they look like, but then I got it... stolen internet biscuits. πŸ˜†

Compare popular search engines across security and privacy related data points.

Yes, but it was suppose to include the node id too. ;) Lots of people missed that part.

Make changes till it's better. πŸ«‚

Is something going on with snort.social? I haven't had much luck loading it in the past two days. #snort #plebchain
