Tip for those using nostr #outbox web clients wanting some more privacy. This may cause you not to see some notes if you exclusively use "offline" relays. If you use uBlock origin (if you don't you should consider it), you can add a new filter to your filter list to allow only certain requests. Example: *$websocket,domain=outbox.client.com,denyallow=outbox.client.com|nostr.land|nostr1.com|gitcitadel.com|nostr.build This will block all websockets when you browse outbox.client.com, except those domains listed after denyallow=. More specifically its saying the rule matches (websockets) when those conditions are true (site != denyallow). So you can stack them, get more granular etc. I would suggest taking this a step further and adding another rule, but instead of `$websocket`, you use `third-party` which will block ALL third-party requests, so it will block loading pfps and nip05s and images and CDN content from untrusted websites. Yeah it will make your viewing experience worse, but you can stop telling the world what your doing when you're scrolling your feed. Here are the docs: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax I'm sure you could probably give your favorite AI this link and ask it to generate a "new denyallow rule" for you.

i've been on team "client connects to one personal relay that then does all the other work" for a while. i come from a background of building personal servers, so i have a bias here. i've experieneced first hand the power of having an extremely powerful and massively responsible single personal server + an infinite number of super light edge clients that offload all the work and trust to that server. when it is fully yours, you can trust it entirely. this really changes everything - including the worries about nsec safety. bonus point: your server can even serve your edge device all the client code it needs. future bonus point that will sound insane to most people but it is in development: your personal server is a single "logical device" that is actually spread across many physical devices, including your phone, the cloud, your home. an omni-present, device-agnostic, cryptographically-identified virtual machine.
