now do bitcoin! "you don't have a wallet, you have a key, and a list of utxos you can move.". something like that.
so good! I'm on android but very jealous
so, you're a new nostrich that's graduated out of #introductions and now you're looking to learn a bit more about relays. did you know that you can run your own relay? this mediumly simple task allows you to harness the true power of nostr by putting you in charge of your social graph.
what exactly does that mean? it just means that you'll be able to control your social data - your notes, your contacts, your events, all of it. this prevents you from being rugged or censored. this puts you in control. pretty cool, eh?
you have several options and i'll list a few of them here for you:
if you're a bitcoiner, you may be running a "node" at home. if this is the case, then you already have some of the tools available to you. umbrel, mynode, and start9 all offer one click to install solutions for nostr relays.
umbrel: https://w3.do/ScRzQT2U
mynode: https://w3.do/1yPlc3RX
start9: https://w3.do/-GL2ifVz
if you don't have a node or aren't running one of the above platforms, you can get started by installing these operating systems on existing hardware - from used computers, to used laptops, to newly built machines or even raspberry pis.
if you have dedicated hardware and you're a bit on the tech savvy side, you can go a tiny bit deeper and manually install your nostr relay. you can choose between several relay implementations here, such as nostream or strfry.
nostream: https://w3.do/1E07DCyf
strfry: https://w3.do/7kKoYwtl
if you don't have dedicated hardware at home and you're a bit tech savvy, then you'll surely know that you can also buy a virtual server on a cloud provider's infrastructure. the options of providers here are nearly endless.
if all of this seems like a different language for you and seems over your head, but you still want to run a personal relay for yourself, your family, or your local community, have no fear, a solution still exists for you. you can visit a dedicated relay provider and purchase a relay with just a few clicks of a mouse button.

do you have to run a relay? no! you do not! this is a task that isn't for everyone. this is only for those that want to be sovereign over their own social data.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask here and either myself or another knowledgeable nostrich will help out.
honest question: is running a relay in umbrel always helpful to the nostr network, or can it, like a poorly managed hobby lightning node with bad liquidity management, do more harm than good to the network?
Best #meme description of a #bitcoin er I have ever seen. https://video.nostr.build/dd04d5e1723d5da91c41b87a821f8c010f18d7eb25502861fdc41a901ea36c60.mp4
LOL. She's a keeper!

no thanks, let's not go on pretending that "transgender" is a legitimate gender.
that's right Susie, that bulge means that's not a girl. and you should go tell your mom and dad that there's a weirdo in the locker room.

BTW. I should note that in my opinion, The Great Ocean Road as a driving experience is overhyped and overrated. I think the way from Cairns to Cape Tribulation (AKA The Great Barrier Reef Drive) is a way more interesting stretch of road (and the Daintree as a destination is bar none as well...).

beautiful. would love to visit one day.
what was it jeff booth said, "the price of all technologies trends toward zero." ? I can't find the quote. anyway that's what this reminds me of!
buy from swan and withdraw to cold storage. besides that, who cares.
I find myself increasingly wanting to "know the old ways."
