I receive hundreds of images and videos every day. Only a small fraction of these uploads contain unpleasant, illegal, or outright revolting content. However, even this small fraction carries significant weight. Due to my daily reviews, I am beginning to experience flashes of disturbing images. Reviewing content every day takes its toll, and hosting providers take on a personal risk by storing other people’s files so that Nostr can thrive and more independent servers can emerge. Over the past two years, I have hosted close to 200,000 files. Thanks to some donations, I have been able to keep going, and I truly appreciate that support. But let’s be honest: relying on individual resilience is not a sustainable model. Running a media server at no cost is already a challenge, and on top of that, there are structural barriers that make it even harder. While some servers are included by default in new clients, others, like mine, despite having been early adopters of key standards such as NIP-98, NIP-94, NIP-96, and later Blossom, struggle to gain visibility. Instead of an open and natural selection process, inclusion often depends on persistence, PRs, and constant requests. This is not just about one server or one person. If running a media server in Nostr means constant hurdles and limited opportunities for integration, many simply won’t take the leap. And that is why we have yet to see a real explosion of Blossom or NIP-96 servers. It’s encouraging to see some progress in the right direction, at least from my perspective. My PR to integrate BUD-07 (Paid Upload and Download) into Blossom seems to be getting closer to approval, which could help smaller servers sustain themselves through microtransactions. While larger servers already have subscription models outside of Nostr or Blossom that allow them to remain operational, this new implementation could provide a real opportunity for those looking to operate without relying on external funding. A reflection for nostr client maintainers: If we want a truly decentralized and resilient ecosystem, we must avoid closed systems that prevent users from adding custom servers. Recommending media servers statically limits diversity and discourages innovation. Instead, let’s use Nostr itself to discover the servers people are actually using and recommend them dynamically based on the user’s needs. We have the tools to make this work—let’s use them! Happy Sunday, #nostr. I’ll keep building what’s unseen but still used. 🫂💪💜

I’ve been receiving warning messages about a misconfigured Lightning redirection. It belongs to a pubkey registered on nostrcheck.me. I’ve tried reaching out via DMs, notifying them so they can fix it, but I haven’t received any response. Meanwhile, I keep receiving these errors daily. Since I have backend access, I could manually change this redirection to a valid LN address. However, this raises some ethical and practical questions: Do I have the legitimacy to do this? Who or what organization should these sats be redirected to? Should I leave the error as is indefinitely, or should I find a better place for these sats? Would it be acceptable to temporarily redirect them to a valid LN address and hold them until I get a response? My first instinct is to leave everything untouched, but I’d love to hear Nostr’s thoughts on this 🤓 #asknostr #nostrcheck

Nostrcheck-server live status demo #nostrdev #nostrcheck #relay

10 years of evolution.

How is it possible that some clients still don’t support NIP-42?? Am I missing something? To me, it’s a super elegant solution for authenticating ws connections.

Relay almost done, testing 🤓 #nostrcheck #nostrdev

This is a test

Yesterday on the plane, I once again had that strange feeling of hyperreality while looking out the window. Everything looks so different from above. We are just a fragile, insignificant, and self-aware sigh in the midst of eternity. Call your mother now. Kiss your wife the moment you see her. Hug your children as soon as possible. Spend your precious time on what is real and important. Good morning, #nostr. I love you, in my own way. 🫂💜🥳🤓😀
