obviously these could be cached, and what can you do about external media, but wouldn't it be nice if we resolved relay ip addresses using nostr events?
obviously you would need a few relays to bootstrap, and maybe dns for backup, but we shouldn't lean so heavily on the one thing that causes the worst outages

Yes, the problem is media, nip05, and pfps, not relays. I only use 4 relays, no outbox.
Im more focused on the privacy aspect. Most users will have no cache in morning when the load up their client for the first time. Then hit their default ISP dns server 300 times telling their isp, governments, and everyone else watching, almost exactly what's on their nostr timeline. It's got to be so easy to track nostr users whenever someone decides to watch.
I could probably do this to myself, now if I turned on detailed query logging.
