200 sats \ 3 replies \ @ama 28 Dec 2022 \ parent \ on: What I Have Learned About Nostr So Far (free for 72 hours, before LN Paywall) nostr
I get that. But I don't think it's rude to call people out when they are wrong. I think we need honest communication. Of course I could have phrased it in a more friendly way but I had no intention to be rude, just wanted to voice how I feel when people get important details wrong; "spreading misinformation".
Well, since he OP said he's just learning and writing what he's learning in his article, I think I read it and commented on it here as a reviewer, a peer who's also been learning for the last few days, and I didn't feel the need to help him correct the couple of mistakes I found in a friendly way. That's what I meant when I said I didn't see the need to be rude. Sorry if I then was rude to you by saying so, hahaha.
Yes they can, but do they?
Actually that's not relevant, I think. The important thing is that some could do it, if they chose to, and more importantly, that the users can do it, if they chose to. It's all about the user being in control, not the relay opperators.
Exactly. That would be my case that you have to run your own relay / host your own content to be super sure.
Your own private relay, which doesn't need to even be know by anybody else, keeping the overhead costs and working effort at a minimum.
Well, that's where we differ. I do think it can become a burden. Depending on how many people reply to your content, you'd have to host these replies, too.
According to what developers are discussing on the Telegram group, that'd be small, and storage space isn't that expensive and it'll become even cheaper in the future. I don't think that'll be a main concern as you'll have also the option to use compression (text does compress very well) and also pruning of less critical content, if need be.

Haha, no, all cool. Have some sats

Fair point. Storage is indeed cheap and text does indeed compress well. Didn't think of that.

Why thank you! There was no need for that, haha.

I believe all the event contents, at least of the "note" kind, are stored on a Postgress (probably you can chose to use a different one) database, which does a good job at compression.
I need to study it a little more, since I might be setting up my own private relay (not even a mirror or others) to do some testing on a little project which is going around my head. I don't usually avoid doing any coding, since I suck at it a little (hahaha), and I don't particularly enjoy it, it even kind of bores me somehow, but I am so excited about the potential of nostr that I might try to overcome all this and do some testing...
I'm actually collecting my thoughts to post here about it to get some feedback, and ideas, and possible some help as well... We'll see...

Sounds awesome! I also got an idea from an interview to setup a private nostr just for personal notifications like cron jobs or alerts: https://youtu.be/QXd0vLTw6NA?t=350

Would be cool to hear :)
