Yup! Relays like purplepag.es have to deal with much less server load because they only handle/accept event kinds

0 and 10002 which contain info about a users profile and the relays they send to.

So

using them as the built in bootstrap relays for a client won't overload

them as much as using "default relays" where everything is transmitted

to them.

I think the Gossip/NIP-65 model works well here. Your relay list would be stored across many relays, including the "bootstrap" relays that the new client would check. Therefore, those bootstrap relays would tell the client what your list of relays are, and it can then check all those relays for your correct follow list.

I’m working on a Nostr version of Internet Archive and anticipate that a lot of what i learn from that could be used towards a nostr-based Wikipedia.

Behind every misogynist, there's either a father figure who treated his mom like crap, or an enabling mother

"Rubiales' mother, Angeles Bejar, locked herself inside a church in Motril, southern Spain, and went on hunger strike in a show of support for her son, per Reuters."

There's just layers and layers to this

Outside of my biased opinion that it's Egypt, I'd say the one I've

found pretty fascinating lately isn't a specific country per se.

Rather,

it's the Central Asian Steppe region where several Turkic

empires/confederations rose and fell. Being right at the center of the

massive silk road trade network must've been so interesting.

Fun fact: "the most likely explanation is that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Middle Eastern Jews who moved to Europe and married local European women whom they converted to Judaism."

Pretty ironic since tracing of Jewish descent is traditionally through the maternal line.

When you go that far back, the average diet wasn’t as calorie dense either, so it may cancel out the lack of nicotine.
