cloud fodder

Postgres is an academic experiment and every time I've seen someone attempt to scale it, it ends in tears. Salty, salty tears, and massive amounts of un-necessary hardware deployed in an attempt to stop the mysterious bleeding out of its performance under a high rate of queries. Maybe postgres Jesus will join the org and save it somehow, but he never does. Anyway, MySQL is better, and lmdb seems best for what nostr is doing (serving notes directly from a memory mapped cache).

Update on DM Inbox Relays saga 💫🎉
auth.nostr1.com is a free DM inbox relay that I'm using to shakedown the new softwares. Thank you so much everyone that has been using this it has helped tremendously with testing!!
I did another round of bug fixing 🐛🐛over the last few days. Let the DMs flow 🌊🌊🌊🦜
Details tldr: 🐛💫 interceptor doesn't send eose on initial auth challenge req close. 🐛💫Interceptor properly responds to additional auth responses so that strfry doesn't send errors.

All good, haha. I got it to build now but the validation isn't parsing (says missing challenge tag) I think I gotta use go-nostr while this bakes in the oven a bit more. Thanks for the quick responses tho! I gotta get past this so I can fix my auth flow, found some decent 🐛🐛🐛 must make work. 😎

So the naddr contains both the owners pubkey and the relays IP address? That could work. It didn't mention that in the spec..

2024-06-26 18:52:36

- reply

Well that and I'm curious how can it have the names 'owned' by anyone, what is it gonna just be a free for all? I guess just web of trust fixes it handwaves etc? Like anyone can own any name, multiple owners of a name? 🤔😁 So you could take over a name by being more popular. Very interesting world it will be eh? #web5000

2024-06-26 18:45:41

- reply

I applaud this effort. I am curious if you will also do something with certificate issuance, nostr will need to become a 'certificate authority' as well. Or use ws:// and http:// instead of wss:// and https://
It is theoretically possible to have certificates for an IP address signed by a certificate authority but let's encrypt doesn't support it.
The other option I suppose is have clients able to accept and store the certificate for that IP one time only.
The problem with ws:// is that it's easy to man-in-the-middle, so even though nostr uses sigs it still needs encryption on the connection. Eg. on TOR or vpn you gonna get manipulated pretty hard without encryption.

2024-06-26 03:09:58

- reply

Can it be set so verified users only can read or write? Yes. However, this mode is far from being private because of how mainstream nostr clients will treat the events.. (they will rebroadcast them at every opportunity). There are various other things like private groups for Coracle that can help layer on more of a true privacy type chat on a relay, but it requires using a Coracle portal.. Does this make sense? I can explain more but I realize I should probably ask your level of understanding nostr first. 😁

Ya no worries! Thanks for reaching out. You don't necessarily have to follow that account, it could get spammy. Just wanted you to know who the account is if it pings you via regular nostr in the future.

Hi Dawn! Thanks for letting me know, this is valuable feedback.. how did you attempt contact? This will help me refine the process as I'm still working on making support channels intuitive, and my DMs may also be broken, but nostr is a little broken right now in a lot of aspects so I'm not surprised if it didn't work like I expect.
As for the relay, I took a look at your settings and saw that you attempted to make it a paid relay but it was still open (optional pay). I think this is a bug on my end or just UX problem. So it should be all good now, this is a good way to park it is make it paid.
I will generally send out a reminder from the relaytools support account, or from my own account if I notice the relay is past due, and you can see your balance and topup at relay.tools/invoices

You still have to use obs for zap stream, I was playing around with restreaming by having obs broadcast a hivetalk session.. While hivetalk does have broadcast mode (one to many) it uses webrtc and does it within the hivetalk app. It's zero latency tech, vs zap.stream is rtmp+hls (with delay).

I wrote a thing. It can monitor a relays latency from wherever you are and post it to nostr using nip66 (draft). It can run on a raspberry pi.
Relay operators can now have a decentralized latency stats engine on nostr and soon will also be powering relay discovery. All part of this ancient nip that has been cooking for over a year now.

So, here's the thing. Using a cname, that will 'work' but only if you don't mind that the cert is still gonna be for nostr1. The other option is you have a proxy that serves SSL for mleku.dev and reverse proxies to the nostr1 url..
I can't add wiki.mleku.dev to my cert chain because .. reasons.. tho I could look to see if it's theoretically possible..

It's possible to top up for as much as you want (custom amount). There is no automatic shut off, I will message on kind 1 once in a while manually if I notice you're past due or etc. it's a work in progress, but I error on the side of keeping the relays running. The url to billing is relay.tools/invoices (also via the menu).

2024-06-24 22:25:14

The settings to set for this would be:
Default Message Policy: Deny
Allow Events Tagged To Pubkeys
Blocked Pubkeys: your mute list
And then you can also do various kind restrictions if you don't want certain kinds or only allow certain kinds (the kind allow/block lists).
