@nprofile…mhvz is there a special flag to have getgooti.com extension to install in mobile FF? seems to be grayed out when i try (saying its incompatible w mobile?)

i dont use sync but i just like gui/perms controls. its working pretty good w test key, i need to let it soak in before i trust with my nsec. i browsed your nostr profile, youve been here a long time but in the nostr shadows 😎 what made you all of a sudden create best signing extension? 😂

continued partial outages. i found the culprits again and have redirected traffic around the bottleneck relays (hint, it has to do with my opensource auth proxy and pokey, i need to harden this more somehow) unfortunately the client side fixes dont seem to be working,, or old versions, maybe its tor i duno.

Hi SLCW! I'd be happy to explain further. The types are only to assist in the further choices in the configuration. for example, 'private community relay' turns on nip42 auth. but if you wanted to you can turn that option off in the ACL configurations. same for any of the options (like payments for example).

I worked hard during my OpenSats grant. Full-time. I originally thought I would have a good work/life balance. But the nostr development fomo is real. The pressure of knowing funding is finite, was a good motivator. I've been in retrospective mode for a few weeks now, brainstorming the next phases of the project.

2024-10-12 16:36:18 UTC

I am doing a series of posts about my last year of development on relay.tools. Since relay.tools has been an OpenSats grantee for this last year (a one year grant), I submitted quarterly reports to OpenSats. I have published all of these reports as long-form notes!
I think this is a great idea. I would like to encourage other grantees to publish their reports, transparency leads to healthy community and it was easy to do because we already had them in markdown. POW one could say.. is nice. #feelsgoodman

strfry already does stream / rolling window compression for clients that support it..

2024-10-05 15:36:20 UTC

- reply

well, the clients are all displaying these round trips now.. but they color stuff wrong, 400+ is red. whereas i consider 400ms round trip to be responsive from time connection initiated, to receiving a small req result. 400ms/4 == 100. a typical 'ping' from west coast us to east coast.

2024-10-05 15:22:51 UTC

- reply

a relay 'ping' is not like a web ping or an icmp ping. it has to upgrade to a websocket. so thats minimum 2x round trips, and then depending if you send or receive something in your check thats more round trips.

2024-10-05 14:48:34 UTC

nope, shouldnt be.. 🤔i dont do any outbound sending of notes from any of the relays. i do have a stream feature ive been testing but its only one direction inbound, and only to theforest and profiles.

auth is a spectrum under heavy development and experimentation. this is why strfry hasnt implemented yet is because we need to hammer out the use cases before setting them in stone perse in C++

2024-09-30 15:49:55 UTC

GM!
if you grow too much 'influence', the universe will focus on you too much and your quantum entangled fleshy supercomputer in your dome was not designed for this many connections.
so then you'll retreat, hand over your keys to the sales dept, become aloof and disconnected from the very thing you were wanting: connection.
in the future, nostr clients in harmony with relays can act as a reach dial, to dial up or down your reach. so that you can connect on some things and monetize your influence on others.

huh, ya i dont get it.. how does tor have anything to do with it?
i suppose you are going to store the additional settings locally like gossip does, and theyll be wiped on reinstalls. i suppose thats fine too. have you seen the gossip relay settings? in my dream world amethyst has capability for the same settings eventually.

2024-09-29 16:04:50 UTC

@nprofile…nq40 @nprofile…vzaw I get the feeling nip65 does not have enough attributes.. I do understand it may be impossible to adapt this nip to more settings but I would like my gossip relay settings to be portable to amethyst... I also like the distinction of settings in gossip where write does not mean outbox for eg.
currently amethyst is using (a temp hack?) of storing 'general relays' in kind 3, inbox/outbox in 10002 and dms in 10050.
if its too hard to change nip65 should there be another nip for 'other relays'? or would it be easier to modify 65 with flags for the various 'usages'?
🤔

2024-09-29 07:03:54 UTC

i agree but i also think this is just a flaw in the original social media. one that nostr does not have to repeat.
it seems that the more popular someone is on trad social media, the less they are willing to use it 'like they used to'. they become big, they enjoy the influence but they must retreat to other methods of communication 'with their friends'..
isn't social media for being social? i think so. after all, we are social creatures and the queston is, if we arent here to be social, then what are we doing here?
if my theory is correct, big influencers would engage more, if their apps were better, their experience more in their control. many who are already influencers, this is all they've known and they had already stopped 'being social' before they even got here 😎

designers are going to tell you its too complicated. The design will be difficult, perhaps the most difficult design since mobile screens, but not impossible.
The downside to building an app with no settings is that users are left uneducated and helpless when they branch out to another app that also ignores relay settings. it creates a knowledge death spiral, each app kicking the user down the road, short term adoption that leads to centralization.

2024-09-25 14:51:30 UTC

i think users read the helpful text, but they could benefit from a list to choose from (kinda like search). it could say, looking for an outbox? heres some nearby outboxes that are (these traits).

2024-09-22 16:51:20 UTC

- reply

ohhhh ok yes I see what you mean now. inbox is where you do want the capability to pull all events tagged to you though. if you want to run a looser inbox, you allow more things, if you don't want that at all, you close it off. it's a gradient.

2024-09-22 16:11:57 UTC

- reply

well, yes you can see a replyguy if you post to an inbox, and he replies via one of your relays (guessing outbox or inbox given how loose clients are implementing the outbox) and since everyone was trained 'to have public free relays' in their list.. then neither outbox or depricated nostr model itself will stop reply guy. what will stop him is if you, like me, have no 'wide open' relays in this list.
outbox model is there to help you narrow down your relay lists and others can still see you if they follow, and vice versa. but it does not on its own stop spam.. but it also should not be causing you to see replies by anyone, that were posted somewhere outside your inboxes..

2024-09-22 15:44:18 UTC

- reply

🤔 im confused. so it will, go to one of my follows relay lists and find their notes on a relay that isnt in my list? (just to be clear, since outbox model i guess can mean diff things)

2024-09-22 09:40:54 UTC

your client needs to support outbox to pull more non-spam from your follows. clients i know of that do are amethyst, coracle, gossip, nostur..

im open to ideas..
many times i am developing solutions for these relays while balancing keeping them online and responsive. there are so many ways you could use this auth scheme.. partial/hybrid/auth/ecash auth.
i appreciate everyones feedback, and @nprofile…nq40, i will keep in mind what youre saying about public un-auth reads.. i just am unsure the best ways to throttle in that mode. websockets put the burden on the relay software itself as all traditional http throttling simply does not work.

2024-09-21 01:22:56 UTC

- reply

🤔 i think you may be interested in nip66 pr draft. its an event kind that has metadata about relays so they can be discovered in a standard way via events and filtered with tags.

2024-09-20 02:16:07 UTC

- reply

blame websockets. traditional methods of rate limiting will not work here (im talking http)

2024-09-19 22:50:38 UTC

- reply

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.

2024-09-19 22:33:46 UTC

- reply

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.

2024-09-19 22:25:21 UTC

- reply

yes, you could do this, with auth

2024-09-19 22:04:50 UTC

- reply

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.

2024-09-19 16:10:22 UTC

- reply

oh, are you asking how to find relays that support nip29? or how to provision them? i suppose that the config of a nip29 relay happens at the same time as a group since the relay has its own key and performs management tasks.. 🤔

2024-09-18 17:00:29 UTC

- reply

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..

2024-09-16 09:51:50 UTC

the year is 2024, nostr has been frozen in a self imposed note lockout. people abandoned the spam filled relays and retreated to long time paid or wot relays, and relays with access control.. only to realize their client doesnt do outbox and their network is now hidden from their view.
blastr closed down and cant cover up the problems with clients anymore. the ones that *do have outbox clients, huddle around a small note fire for warmpth, and accept that their centralized frens may never be heard from again.
