Oddbean new post about login | logout Not sure if that’s sarcastic, lol. But Nostr is different and users need to learn that. I’ve never seen anyone advocate for having only one single relay. It’s about redundancy of your data so that when (not if) this happens you haven’t lost access to everything and can recover. We shouldn’t try to dumb down the UI for Nostr so much that users can’t benefit from its most important qualities.
“It’s about redundancy of your data so that when (not if) this happens you haven’t lost access to everything and can recover.” good too no, not sarcasm, and I have no idea who I’m talking too atm why is it that Ser Sleepy is visible, but your pfp/name isn’t? https://image.nostr.build/e97b4fcc67d6ddb58ed26c891021239f32c68c7324bf32f1231157fb031a1512.jpg
Lol 😂 This is corndalorian. I just tried rebroadcasting my profile data. See if it hit the relay you’re on. 😂
went to your profile and it “refreshed” the data 🤙 So should clients send that out once a day to be more resilient? The idea being will have a future of more nukes on different relays in which we connect to. https://image.nostr.build/b3697f3ee131d0a659f4a3b09c49b857d5fb0410f7db432426d970172afa0146.jpg
Good question and I don’t understand how clients find/fetch data well enough to know the answer. What I do understand is that it shows the need (at least for now) for regular backups, and for relays like Blastr to send your events to as many relays as possible, and Purple Pages to load user profile data.
I don’t have this problem on Primal. It has happened multiple times after a reinstall of Damus.
yes, that means it’s working, I checked primal and everything is there, just looking for ways we can improve clients for when this happens again
That’s because Primal caches everything centrally on their servers. Good for user experience. But just susceptible to deletion without your control if that’s the only place you rely on for accessing it.
I kind of like the idea of one relay that can be nuked and all history deleted forever (for anyone who wants that option). I know screenshots exist, but sometimes you just want to start fresh and get rid of the old stuff, as much as possible
The only way to be sure of that is to never use Nostr in the first place 😂 As long as your note exists on one relay or in someone’s backup somewhere, it can be rebroadcast to other relays again.
that’s what interesting, can that even be done? burner relays? lots of what I’m missing right now is on other relays, just waiting for me to repopulate the data on this client. there would have to be a 1 relay only rule and the relay would kick out any new npub that connects to another relay
