Hahahahaha I wish!

Zeus is real fucking nice

The Click The Link in the announcement message? That opens up the announcement note. It has to open in a new tab because of a browser oddity. I've got a fix for that in my to do list.

NOSTRGRAM UPDATE - CLOUDFLARE BOT MITIGATION AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Hello again Nogs! It's update time. I already posted a bit about this update, but wanted to make a formal announcement for it and add to what I've said so far.

NostrGram is now using CloudFlare for bot mitigation due to a large number of bots spamming the heck out of the site. VPN access was temporarily disabled while CloudFlare spun up and kicked in. Now it's active and the effects look really good so far. 🤞

There are some additional performance benefits of using CloudFlare, particularly for mobile users. I'm using CloudFlare's service to resize and compress images, which is already making a big difference in bandwidth usage. I had something like this built into NG itself, but it didn't work particularly well because a lot of the images weren't able to be compressed with the library I was using. CloudFlare is doing a much better job.

I'm also using a few other CloudFlare compression options which are reducing bandwidth and speeding up delivery and performance. A big benefit to mobile users especially.

All of this is possible thanks to you donating your ⚡, so thank you very much for your continued generosity. 🙏 I had someone ask where to donate, so wanted to make it clear: zapping any post by me (or using the Lightning icon on my Profile) is fine.

Lots more building to do! I will continue to keep you updated. Thanks for using NostrGram!

FWIW, I'm on nostr using non-custodial lightning to send and receive zaps.

What do you mean? Do you mean quote notes?

This is what more-speech looks like now.

Nostr loves value for value. I have a friend that's an artist. She DMed me to thank me about pushing her to join Nostr. She's received more bitcoin via Zaps over the last couple of weeks than she has over the last two years on Twitter. We value Proof of Work. 🤙

Damn sorry I didn’t see this
