cloud fodder

also just to mention, some of the relays that need auth, are just asking for a key. ANY key.. so you could auth with a different key, and then if the relay is open like this, send and req any valid events on that connection, except DMs as those require auth by your main key.

I'm not looking at the IPs no, scrapers and such will not usually disco. if they want to re-scrape data from months ago over and over uselessly, or an app has just gone wild after being put out to pasture and it's causing a REQ loop, they can make their pubkey known to the relay and use their allotment of REQs. Workers such as blastr, is why I refer to assuming there are many IPs and it being somewhat useless to base your filtering on.

if you dont run auth on your relay you get overwhelmed by 5 million cloudflare scrapers each with different IP, with auth, you have more control over the req rates on the websocket.

I mean, a better solution would be to use outbox but pointed at your forest list.. However, I realize this is more of a dream than reality as clients are still struggling to implement it.. The only clients that can really do it are amethyst, coracle, gossip (maybe some that I haven't tried like nostur?)
Relay.tools does have functionality to stream, but it's pretty basic and has not landed in the UI yet, you pick a relay(s) to stream from, and it hooks up to the firehose, and then your ACL list will just deny everything except what you've set. It's not as efficient that way, but it would work today (vs waiting for features). Doug has some fancy stuff planned for strfry in this arena too for future stuff..
If you're interested in experimenting with it, which relay or maybe even 2 relays would you stream from? I'm unsure how well it will perform but we can try it for the learnings if you want..

gossip has a nice feature where you mark relays as spam safe and only use those for notifications. just sayin', very useful feature imo.
the spam battle, dont give up so ez! many relays already filter using sats, wot or traditional firefighting, just need more client settings to meet them halfway. 🔥

when i started experimenting with nostr business a year and a half ago, the future was bright. we had lightning and bitcoiners. we had micropayments, something no other social tech had.
but now, there's a growing anti lightning sentiment between the client devs, they want new users at any cost, and in their mind they think sacrificing and suppressing lightning will lead to this. "its too hard for new users", they say. they think bitcoin content is in the way of adoption. they think micropayments are not a good spam deterrent. they think big tech model of free services for the masses is the way to grow.
whats the way forward then? how is this any different than 2-3 blueskys, without micropayments as a first class thing? #asknostr #askjack

ok great, so you limit the frequency, what happens? bots can go just as fast as a human meanwhile nothing changes other than humans are penalty. just look at the damus relay for example. 6 events a minute and no way to increase for legit use.

- reply

no, in theory wot relays, wot clients, lightning network.. thats what all my 'game theory' ideas keep coming back to as a solution. but i think im about a year ahead of everyone from running these relays and seeing all the spam all the time. you dont follow that many people so you may not see the endless misery of the users that it's not fixed for, gave up, etc.

replyguy is about as dumb as he can get already, all he has to do is change his profile, then what?.. i just cant seem to get my point across i guess.

2024-09-08 16:52:05

- reply

it didnt though. not only did it not stop replyguy, but it'll never work against the same thing or a slightly evolved thing targeting individual pubkeys or groups..
what happened was a combination of big relays finally filtering, the mute lists (yes) and these webs of trust/ paid relays..
clients need fine grain relay controls.. gossip has a relay setting for marking "spam safe" where it will pull more notifications than from a relay that isnt marked.
i was not specifically talking about any one client this is just something i notice over a very long time period. i used to attempt to block things like replyguy too, on the relay side, the content blocks DO NOT WORK against an evolving bot. the same thing happens over and over. sometimes to individuals, sometimes to the wider network. many will be leaving nostr in the future because of this, they have no control over replies other than just turning on "replies only for follows". and this is not gonna work cause follows cant grow past 1-2k pubkeys.
mute words is handy, its useful. but its not a solution. i hope client devs realize that.

2024-09-08 05:56:34

- reply

i have been thinking about this kinda stuff for sure. a lot is already possible, ie, install relay tools, set it to sync and stream from your other relays bidirectionally.. have a fast local relay, without even opening up ports on your firewall.

sad, that client devs seem to think mute words will stop a stalker or bots.. how naive they must be i guess.. everyone is on a different journey, sometimes it's strange to think, "oh, yeah, for the first time they are discovering what its like to be the target of intensive spam? weird."
anyway..
we got shit for this, and it aint "nos.social blocked the bot" -or- "mute the word GM"

I think it's both. So, the particles zooming around in an aurora storm, knocks out the intergalactic cosmic rays. This is only what I learned at the geo institute of the Rocket range supercomputer that studied the aurora in alaska.. Otherwise, it pierces the shield... weakining shield is obvs not good. But the zoomies, are clobbering the weird shit. In 2 years, we will be at another solar minimum and wen that happens, that's bad again. we're on space vacation till then. ⚡🍻

so ya ok, i guess general wont be going away then cause very necessary to have the 5-6 classifications that gossip has and nip65 only has read/write/both
