Oddbean new post about login | logout We need to better optimize the relay implementations so they're as lightweight as possible. Some requesting relay operators to use a minimum of 4 vCPU and 8GB RAM VPS because Postgres is a chonker, might restrict someone wanting to contribute a free relay if the costs are too high.
Yes, but still doesnt change the fact that most of the relay operators that were willing to put in the effort have now left, and are not coming back. Retention is hard work, and it was needed 1-2 years ago. Something is always better than nothing, but the timing is also important.
How does a tiny relay hosted on a server no one knows about helps nostr? Is this outbox model here with us in this room?
Depending upon how you've set it up, my client could still send the tiny relay a REQ to retrieve notes, adding to the redundancy of the network.
