 300 gb -> 8mb 
 😅 
 🫂 
 Just 300GB on the largest Nostr relay?? These are rookie numbers. 😅 
 And Most of that was spam before i had rate limiting policies 
 😯 Was it really 300GB already? What's your strategy to identify spam?  
 I suppose anything that attempts to violate his rate limiting policies is mostly spam. 
 Nuked? 
 Boom. 🔥 
 Total collapse? 😱 
 Moore's Law: an observation that data storage doubles every two years or so.

Will's Law: just nuke the data and you don't need storage. 
 Don't forget to rebroadcast all of your old notes back to relay.damus.io!

*ducks*

 brb getting someone to write a script to do it for all active npubs 
 This sounds like something Semi would do instead of working on Nests. 
 Yeah unfortunately he likes to work on his ideas, really wish this would’ve been his idea. 
 Semi casts Rebroadcast 
 Will executes pruned_relay.sql 
 I hurt myself in my confusion 
 😂 
 people should! Let me remove the old post limit

 I can hear the music looking at it. 
 What will you use all that free space for now? 
 This whole Damus relay #theNuking thing, got me thinking. Why not have some relays that are space limited?

say 50gb, the notes get stored in a nuking que destorying the okdest notes asap when space limit is reached.

 From time to time I consider my own relay and I think “short term” storage of notes to be sufficient for most use cases. This would be the kind of thing I would do. 
 Short term storage is in some sense more natural for more conversational stuff. Like talking to people irl, are generally a short storage event.

Btw, for huge relays another idea would be a similar que system; but counted in notes per npub. aka free storage 1k notes per npub the delete the oldest. 
 Yes, humans didn’t evolve within a state of having months of prior interactions, so it seems pretty unnecessary for normal interactions. in some sense the expectation of having forever data is created by or at least subsidized by the benefit of the platforms mining that data for something they can sell of you. 
 Spot on!
Personally I often prefer setting chat services to message decay / dissappearin messages. Always feel chatting becomes more natural after that. :) 
 That's an awesome compression ratio. 
 300 GB is a lot of porn to upload.... 😉 #lol

 Your post is generating a lot of discussion.
Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed 
 you wouldn’t dare rebroadcast them to my relay 🤨 
 😂😂😂😂 
 Called it.

 Prohibition = a command 
 才知道 Damus 的中继前几天把数据库里面的 kind-0 类型擦除了.
