The next steps to “weaponize” DM metadata sniffing would be for an actor to take the data and dump it into a database to perform graph relationship mapping and track user meta updates over time to track historical changes per key over time. See who knows who and likes to talk. Do they send short messages or long ones? Can we interpret anything based on the encrypted length - padding?
DMs are the same as someone seeing you in public having dinner with someone else. They may not be able to hear the conversation, but they know that you met. The best course of action is to use burner or pseudo anonymous keys if you need to communicate privately over DM. The next layer of protection would be to obfuscate your IP via VPN to prevent capture from the relay/an image in the DM/etc.
Monitoring tools + relays = intelligence feed. We can do better. We will do better.

Q: How do I get write access to the relay.stoner.com?
A: Provide a meaningful interaction between you and I
Others have helped with code, reported relay downtime, provided great nostr and educational content, or are just overall awesome people. The stoner relay is for those that cross paths with myself and leave a footprint in the entropic nature of our universe.
The lawnmower wouldn't start today and I remembered what my dad used to tell me - the three things an engine needed to fire were gas, spark, and air.
The gas tank was filled.
Spark plugs looked good.
I then took the air filter off.
Bingo. We have ignition.
Time to clean the air filter and pass the foundational tribal knowledge forward.
First they came for the non-users.
Then they come for the free users.
Then they come for the paid users.
Happy Friday 🤙
We will only zap that much harder and louder now.

Pro-tip: Don’t crack a tooth over a holiday weekend where the dentist can’t see you until Tuesday.
Doesn’t get better than this 🎵
Security is about risk mitigation, not risk obliteration.

Are there any #nostr resources for lifetime subscription relays versus monthly subscription? I'm interested more in the former, not so much the latter currently. We're getting there with relay brands but I haven't seen much on redundancy, uptime, SLA, storage capacity (hd vs raid vs SAN), and geographical network uplinks as a customer before paying a recurring subscription fee.
