Yeah, I think reinstalling the OS on our blade server over a holiday weekend may not have been my best idea. The relay will be down until I get schedule on-site hands. The ticket is already a few hours old and I haven't heard back from the data center yet. 💀 Sorry for the down-time folks! In any case, I've got an offsite backup I made immediately prior to the reinstall attempt. But hey, if things work out, I feel like I'll have a lot more time to dust off and fiddle with my nostr projects in 2026. Woo!

in a couple weeks there'll be some free time and we're planning to rewrite the ansible playbooks for the relay as a nix config. I'll take a look at our WoT based filtering tiers and see if I can add any improvements. also going to see if I can set up an inbox relay endpoint. What features do you want from your relay? the main thing I think we could improve is communicating the features that are already implemented. we published them before as long-form notes, but no one probably reads those. we should be publishing features on actual web pages. then no one can read those too! x_X

Just initiated the DNS changes to migrate to our new server. We're keeping an eye on traffic starting to switch over now. Looking good so far.

New server is staged so we'll tentatively schedule our relay migration tomorrow, assuming we don't drink too much tonight. Good evening!

Waking up to see we have access to our new bare metal blade server for the relay. CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2690v2 ( 10 cores / 20 threads @ 3.00 GHz ) RAM: 64GB DDR3 ECC I usually run Debian on servers, but maybe today's the day to put NixOS on a server. Hmm. Good morning
