 Fuck it. I nuked relays down to 14. My contact list went to 105. I YOLO'ed and went went to a few solid people I trust and ninja'ed their follow lists. I'm calling this a win. Thank you jack Cameri falsefaucet for the contacts 😉  
 working on a private relay. Interested? 
 How do you subscribe to a follow list? 
 Derek Ross care to share. I am also interested.  
 This is the way! 
 Derek I think we need a tool to test your follow list on multiple relays 
 Elite level move 
 Damn it, I have only 4 followers after all I did for Bitcoin;
* Fighting against the big blockers, shit coiners, evil corps 
* Longing Bitcoin even in bear markets
* Running Bitcoin and lightning nodes
* Working on bringing up nostr relay node
 
 instant follow. thank you for your work 🫡 
 You are missing a zero there broski... 
 How are you assessing relay performance? 
 It's a long and complicated process. First, I enter all of the relays onto a spreadsheet. Then, I go into my kitchen cabinet and find the box of angel hair spaghetti. I then choose a single strand of spaghetti for each relay that I have entered on my spreadsheet. Next, I break each piece of spaghetti into a specific length, making sure that no piece is within 1 inch of another one. The next part is crucial to this process. I ask my wife to boil a pot of water for me. While, that's boiling, I take careful measurements and assign each piece of spaghetti a relay ID on my spreadsheet. Once the water is boiling, I instruct my wife to cook the spaghetti and to let me know when it's done. When the spaghetti is cooked, I carefully remove each piece as to not break, rip, or stretch the individual strands. Next, I throw those fuckers at the wall. Whichever ones stick, I pull off of the wall and measure their length. I then compare the lengths to the spreadsheet and find the approximate corresponding value. The relays that have corresponding spaghetti that sticks are then saved onto my Nostr profile. 
 Tell you need to take a break, without telling me you need to take a break :-) 
 It’s not you, it’s me… 
 Thank you for the life hack, ser 
 This is idiot proof! I’ll try this 
 I hope she’s not overcooking the spaghetti. Al dente is the Italian way. 
 😂😂 
 That won’t work. Pasta expands when it’s cooking….. measurements won’t match your sheet….. 
 Not sure how I missed this when it was originally noted 
But this is gold Derek.  
 It's one of my better notes 🥹😂
