Someone stress testing free relays:

I'm now running Samourai Dojo out of a single container (node), providing all the other necessary requirements via other means of orchestration. I've been working on that one on and off again for awhile! Glad it's finally running, whew.

Finally put together a playbook with docker-compose for my node's mempool.space. Been meaning to do that for awhile, but always ran into some problem and ended up installing it manually. Feels good. Now if only I could get the container to build from source, rather than relying on the dockerhub image

Welcome to our newest nip-05ers! #[0] #[1] nip-05 verification is available for all @bitcoiner.social users at no additional cost 😁

Sexy strfry metrics

I wrote a draconian spam filter for public relays.

Also, fuckit. Old relay url is back online on a third server. Relays apparently never die. And apparently I run three relays now! I'm waiting on a server order to get filled and I'm going to try to merge two of them later.

A couple of new (to me) public relays that I'm using: wss://nostr21.com - operated by #[0] running strfry v74. Fast pleb relay. wss://nostr.foundrydigital.com - operated by #[1] running strfry v92. Based corpo relay run by a dev on the bleeding edge. love it. Kinda interesting to take a stroll through nostr.watch right now. There's a lot of relays, but few of them are kept up to date. Lots have missing or invalid nip-11 data.

#[0] check your DMs please

Updated my relay automatic nip05er script to handle name changes too. 🤙⚡️

Let’s get reckless, nip05 verification is now automated! Script runs every five minutes now. Set your nip05 address @bitcoiner.social and you should get verified! In the future, the script could have some graceful failure modes like DMing you if the name you chose is already taken. But I love the magic of doing this without any web UI. Also any other relay is welcome to grab my code off GitHub and offer the same service

TIL Ride the Lightning has a tab for Liquidity Ads! Let the bidding begin.

Bruh ss -a -t | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn 1083 18.138.222.21 882 44.192.42.75 Normal clients have 2 or 3 tcp sockets open. But these aws VMs are doing something else. This was on the free relay.

Reckless server admin maintenance in progress lol Relay will be back in a sec

New nip05er: #[0] 🤙⚡️

Think I finally have a view into how many people are using offchain.pub (the free relay). The Sockstat metric from node_exporter shows how many TCP connections there are in a particular state. The yellow on the graph means "in-use" and probably roughly correlates to open websockets.
