Oddbean new post about login | logout should I nuke the damus relay and start over? 🤔 some notes may be lost.
Why do it?
Network stress test? If it mattered then that’s not a good sign
Why not
centralized
Gotcha 🤝 Could you disconnect it without permanuking? If it *were* bad, better not to punish normies?
can I export my bookmarks? will those get be impacted?
Bookmarks on Damus are local currently
yes. I want to export them, ie replicate them to my relay, in the event they are only hosted on the damus relay and will wipes it
Currently they are only on your local device is my understanding. Your bookmarks are not stored on any relay. Damus has yet to add nip-51 support for bookmarks.
I understand the bookmarks are stored locally. my concern is if those are somehow refreshed/reloaded, and the only copy was on the damus relay, they would be gone.
hm, is there any command for strfry to delete, say, half-year old notes?
Are there users that *only* use the damus relay?
better sooner than later imo
Verdade!
#nukestr
yes, if you could nuke all my typos too that’d be swell
Tpyos are firever
Here for this 😂
I was thinking about this last night and the year it’s been, I wish there was a site where it could temporarily be archived, so it could be searchable for research and downloadable yes, nuke it
I'm still waiting for the first 10K Damus relay user badge 🔥
Can somebody explain whats all about o going on. See a lot about nuking but dont 100% understand what will/could happen and what is meant bei that. That english isnt my native language doesnt make it better. What will it affect, will i recognaize it as a non tech guy, Do i have to make a New Account or loose follows/followers etc ?
You're using 18 more relays, you're good👍
Use https://nostrsync.live/ Backup, download, update, restore all your data from all the relays.
Do it if you see a point in doing so. Just give everyone a good heads up first. ^^ nostr notes and an extra notification at least in the damus app Two weeks notice maybe?
Why would people need that. I hope people aren’t solely relying on the damus relay for their stuff
I hope so to! But we don't know 🤷 It being one of the largest relays, I just thought there could be a point to it. Alt. just do it and let people learn the hard way x) But, some sort of heads up I think is better for relay reputation.
If you're using a free relay, I think it is to be expected to have no expectations on what happens to your notes
Yes I buy that argument, it's solid. We just don't know how many Damus users use nostr as if it's a twitter, and a normie user might think it works the same; then one day wake up with all notes gone. Then think, "naw bad quality service." Due to Damus being one of the largest onboarding to nostr, and it being one of the largest relays; I think at least on the first data purge a notification could be prudent. The notification could even mention; "On free relays beware data may be purged, here's a backup option, and remember to post to more than one relay. The Damus relay, is purged next week on xDay. Expect no notifications in the future."
heads up and a reminder that you can use https://metadata.nostr.com/ to backup your #nostr data!! nostr:nevent1qqsvzwe6thcrf7fmmctzzkhe4f980z2djjpm3y872nrrazmw0lxnrfqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyqewrqnkx4zsaweutf739s0cu7et29zrntqs5elw70vlm8zudr3y2qcyqqqqqqg9z23nz
nostr.band says I have 2901 posts so I’ll be watching to see how much gets lost 😀
I assume they are also storing your notes if they have a count ?
Maybe give a window for users to download notes? 7 days? Idk just thinking mostly about users who have only ever used Damus with the default 4 relays it comes configured with and don’t understand this part of nostr yet, or how to backup their data.
just an idea at this point
It's an important thing for users to consider. Some lessons are learned the hard way 😂
Do it. #nostr stress test.
Do it! Don't warn anyone. It's an important lesson. More crying means more learning.
there's truth to this
Catholic education don’t lie! 😂
Build a relay that offloads the notes in a S3 type of bucket for vertical/horizontal scaling. It's just querying json data on the fly, no?
Your post is being widely read. Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed
If we die, we die.
Ok!
You can start with nuking the oldest notes.
By some you mean all?
#thenukening for those catching up. nostr:nevent1qqsvzwe6thcrf7fmmctzzkhe4f980z2djjpm3y872nrrazmw0lxnrfqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgq3qxtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsxpqqqqqqzsm0qy5
make a compressed file(s) of the notes to share before you nuke it.
With nostrdb it would be cool if Damus could backup all your notes locally similar to https://nostrsync.live/ that way normal people who won’t run their own relays still have their content protected and the ability to rebroadcast everything.
Yes.
