Any github repository to look for updates?

I used contabo.

Yes, what part are you finding tricky?

Has anyone hosted a strfry relay on DigitalOcean or Cloudflare? Looking to host one on either of these but not sure of the exact process.

#nostr relay geographic distribution is pretty impressive

The church was built on the faith of the people.

“On this rock I will build my church”. Referring to Peters strong faith.

It’s geographic location or establishment date is meaningless imho!

When you check those 18 against nostr.watch, do any have a particularly low uptime % for the last 24 hours? Like below 80%

How many relays do you have? What's your performance like?

For me, I have 18 relays now. Snort and Amethyst are extremely slow for me. I get a lot of lag and the experience is just not very fun to be honest. This is a change for me on Amethyst. As a native app, it was extremely fast until yesterday.

I am considering moving to mostly paid relays, but the problem with this is that we don't know the relay's hardware specs. We could be paying for a relay that runs on a Raspberry Pi. I'd like to pay for relays with large resource pools, not just a relay that's green and new as this could change in a week.

Shill me your relays.

Comments are a better indicator than likes, sure, but it still doesn’t address the issue of a client having to make a somewhat arbitrary decision on what users get to see. Most will agree on basic ground truths: spam is bad; porn is bad; gratuitous violence is bad. Create those filters and give users the option to turn them on. Beyond that, it become a subjective and arbitrary algorithm, IMO

Isn’t the bulk of the data usage from images? As long as a user doesn’t go on global that much on mobile, would that make a difference?

Not sure about this. It’s beginning to sound like the dreaded“algo”. Also, likes are cheap and not the best indicator of the quality of a post. People need to decide what they want to see, not be told what they ought to see
