Invited you now. Reminder that https://replay.wayback.st is the Websitestr Fork we're working on. A few features In Flight at the moment. And We are Working on a Fork of Nostr Web Archiver here: https://github.com/scion-driveway-situation/nostr-web-archiver/tree/add-relay-blossom-selector
This Branch,, above,, has a new ((rough)) feature where you can Selectively choose which Relays and Blossom servers to post to. Preview:

Without archiving "dynamic" stuff,, you lose the ability to archive and share most "Interesting" Content - like the contents of a private Twitter Group Chat,, say.
Most web apps that deal in User Generated or Paywalled content do it via "dynamic" interactions. An archiving strategy that doesn't allow one to archive and share stuff like that is Underwhelming,, IMO. Archiving boring Wikipedia pages is alright,, I guess. But we can do a lot better than that.

See @npub197u…pr0p recent note below,, a Colleague is finishing up a Plugin for Giftwrapped DMs. We could look into basing a White Noise Plugin off the Nostr Plugin base once that Ships.

Yes,, there is always that,, if you don't require Pseudonymity. Then it's Meet Mask-to-Mask haha

Just learning of this. Doesn't look Too Promising,, but will look into it some more.

2026-02-20 16:05:52 UTC

I've been testing this with my Colleague who is working on it and it's really Excellent,, feels like the ICQ Days again. Nostr DMs in Desktop client out of the box in Tails is Magical.

And the up-and-coming Replay UI improvements (Websitestr fork)

cc @npub197u…pr0p ,, perhaps Cathouse Propeller should work on a Desktop White Noise PoC for our operations?
While we're here together,, Max,, if you have a Shortlist of any pseudonymous Developers/Vibelopers who are motivated to build Second Realms perhaps you can point them towards Cathouse Propeller. Best entry point is through Tom, above.
Appreciate You.

The NWA extension and websitestr are distinct. Websitestr indeed looks to follows relays. I'm currently investigating whether or not the NWA extension uses your relays,, fairly certain it does yes,, but either way will be adding options for ::which relays do you want to publish this archive to?:: right away.
4554 Is the Web Archive Announcment Kind. Then there are some Blossom Kinds. You are right that Pyramid doesn't list 4554 out of the Box..

Glad you agree. I see you're a Developer or at least a Vibeloper,, is this npub a Nym or are you Realnamed here? Asking because: http://6vhvsk7ximifkmnsv74ataoiit37lmpp2fmqkxcojdwf7dqe6ls22qad.onion/

I Deeply Appreciate the vote of confidence!
A CLI archiver would be nice,, Indeed,, but I think even Higher priority - for us - is a "hosted archiver" like the Wayback Machine has. That way any casual web browsing person could drop a URL there and have it Archived to nostr without having to "use nostr" themselves.
Suppose this would "default" to an "Archiver pubkey" that lives on the server. Not Ideal, but rough feature parity with Wayback is important and Friendly.
Going forward, do you think it would be wiser to Fork NWA and extend it in our own version? Or are you Actively maintaining NWA and will merge PRs? I don't want to slow either you or us down with admin overhead. We'll default to a fork and will open PRs as reasonable, but won't hang too many hats there.

When I tested NWA it didn't use the Pyramid relay I added to my relays. But I'll look into it Deeper. Either way you're Right,, NWA should be extended to allow Selecting Which relays you want to publish a given archive to. Whether that's from your Current Set or an Arbitrary / One-Off relay.
Will keep you Updated,, as you are a Prolific Archiver! Please feel free to share this initiative with any other Archivers you are aware of. And if you know any Nyms who are looking to make a Dent in the world, please send them to the @npub197u…pr0p - http://6vhvsk7ximifkmnsv74ataoiit37lmpp2fmqkxcojdwf7dqe6ls22qad.onion/

@nprofile…s4hg , @nprofile…88nj , @nprofile…frzk , @nprofile…waax - You are the npubs that I have so far found who post web archives. Accordingly, you've been invited to http://relay.wayback.st - a pyramid instance intended to be a home for nostr web archives. relay and blossom server so far.
We're also running a websitestr fork at https://replay.wayback.st , slightly modified for now but lots of features planned.
- Near term: WARC files posted to the wayback.st blossom server, web archive events posted to the wayback.st relay; add negentropy and blossom mirrors for archive resiliency.
- Mid-longer term: fork nostr web archiver extension to add some convenience features given wayback.st; extend the replay UI to make finding archives from your friends and extended network easier; make archives easier to navigate for non-nostriches; integrate with lantern and highlightning in general
- Ultimately: purpose-built clients for archives and paywall-hopping; possibly a Firefox/Chrome fork for the same; integrate payments and bounties for paywalled articles; integration with existing scholarly journal archives and other internet archives.

This is how they bleed us:
Going Pure Pseudonym With Strong Privacy Is Slow and Hard.
Amnesiac Tails OS. Encrypted volumes. Tor everywhere. Memorized passwords. Managing GPG keys and KeePass databases. Only recording enough information to re-find your own breadcrumb trail but not tip off a Snooper. Cashu wallets, Email aliases, Anonymous payments for VPS and domains, Self-hosting services for the things where Third Parties would require KYC.
That's all just to get a Nym Booted up and baseline operational; none of it can be shared with other nyms. If this identity is going to be Long-running or acquiring any Credibility or Business connections this is just the beginning of the picture. Writing and deploying code, Providing customer service, Delivering timely responses to business contacts without the use of mobile devices or realtime notifications. Physically doing all this in your home or out of the house without tipping off those around you that something is odd about your computer use... You have any idea how hard that shit is while maintaining untraceably pseudonymity on ONE nym? It compounds enormously with each additional one.
This is how the Enemies of #privacy win the long war of attrition. This process is slow, error-prone, full of friction, not for the faint of heart, requires focus and dedication and some degree of disposable funds. All the Enemies have to do is insure the "Easy Way" gains area under the curve, while the Hard Way gets a little harder every day. Even just the loss of productivity and patience due to Tor speed vs clearnet speed is enough to move the needle on the overall struggle.
For us to lose, the Businesses and Services nyms provide for each other and for the namedoxxed public only have to be slightly less successful and slightly lower velocity than the offerings of the Enemy. Combine that with the broad "Don't worry about Privacy" spell cast over the majority of the population, and the Picture is bleak.
Yet - here We are. We find new patches of digital land to plant our #secondRealm flags on. We persist DESPITE the friction, we sound the alarm DESPITE the unhearing ears of most NPCs. If we didn't think we had a chance we'd already be hollowing out our skulls staring at Instragram and neatly stacking our monopoly monies. But no - we're here, building and learning and teaching.
Insist that the software you use is no-kyc. Pay for your services and tips with private money. Follow nyms. Support your local pseudonymous developer. Carve out a space.
That's all for now.
