Might be beneficial for clients to start referring to the npub as the “login ID” and the nsec as the “password”

What was your process for getting your mirrored relay cloud hosted? I’m looking to spin up a mirrored relay myself to tinker with and help spread the load

interesting, #[3] #[4]

Could we perhaps have an option to disable the global feed, for those who don’t want to subscribe to it and consume that extra bandwidth?

There’s no limit! the unique identifier of an account is the npub ID

Yeah def getting up there!

Is the client-side data usage increase actually significant when using 10 relays vs 20, or is the bulk of the bandwidth use coming from loading peoples profile pics and banners?

I have a hard time imagining that pure text from using a lot of relays could use up that much data, am i misunderstanding?

yeah I’m super confused as to why it’s taken them an eternity to start inviting people from the waitlist

#[0] it’s times like these where that future “relay autopilot” feature will be super useful to balance the load across relays

#[0] what was your process for cloud hosting your strfry relays nos.lol and e.nos.lol ? in terms of bash commands/cli used and whatnot

Close tie between Snort and Iris

haha that’s because it’s a fork of Iris that i was using to prototype the concept! 🙂 i’ll keep you posted

As far as I understand, with web clients the users browser is directly connecting to the relay websockets, the web client backend isn’t handling that traffic itself.

So out of curiosity, when high nostr use occurs like today, what typically causes the slowdowns on Iris and/or Snort, outside of the relays themselves slowing down obviously?

Pretty much. May help to add some mirrored relays that sync content from the other relays, like these:

wss://e.nos.lol

wss://relay.nostrgraph.net

wss://nostr.relayer.se

It’s mores for when I want to share an image of mine, like a screenshot or a pic I took.

Cool little efficiency hack: download this Mac app, add nostrimg.com as a pinned menubar site, and you can now drag images directly to it and get a link to post on Nostr
