A new relay is about to be born. Integrated into nostrcheck-server, with graphical administration, statistics, and management. I need more people connected to my ‘test’ instance (I’m using nostrcheck.me, Nostr-style 😎). If you’d like to contribute, please connect so I can test it with as many people as possible 🙏 wss://relay.nostrcheck.me Thanks #nostr 🫂

Code over ego. Always.

I’m not antisocial, I’m just peer-to-peer and encrypted by default, happy weekend #nerdstr 🤓🥳💜

Hello #nostr . Could you please add the relay from nostrcheck.me and keep it in your list of relays for a few days, even if it experiences some downtime? I'm looking for more users to help run a realistic stress test. wss://relay.nostrcheck.me A billion thanks! 🙏💜

Disclaimer: I’m going to share something that affected me personally, but I’m fully aware that there are people who have been through much worse. Of course, there’s no comparison to their pain and anguish. Today, I went to the ophthalmologist to have a chalazion checked—one I’ve had in my eye for almost a year. The doctor told me I needed surgery (a minor outpatient procedure, but one that required signing a consent form). I left the consultation, went to get the consent form, and they handed it to me saying, “Sign here.” I responded, “Hold on, let me read everything first before I decide whether to sign or not.” The document stated that I had been diagnosed with a malignant tumor and that they needed to remove and biopsy it. At that moment, I felt an overwhelming dizziness. When I managed to collect myself, I asked the receptionist if this was correct. She gave me a look that said “I’ll speak with the doctor.” Long story short: the doctor apologized. They had given me the wrong document. It was the most distressing 30 minutes I’ve experienced in a long time. I surprised myself by feeling guilty for worrying about myself, when in reality, I should have been thinking about my family and friends—because if something truly serious had happened, they would be the ones suffering the most. I know this is insignificant compared to what others go through, but I swear, these small scares (even with a “happy” ending) reinforce the way I see life. Nothing is really that serious. Call your mother. Hug your best friend. Tell your partner you love them. Read your kids a bedtime story tonight. Tomorrow, we may not be here. I love you, strangers

Almost 100 stars on GitHub, thank you! 🙏🥳💜 https://github.com/quentintaranpino/nostrcheck-server

I’m in England, and I just can’t understand how they manage to drive completely the other way around!! 🤣🤯😱🤓🚙🫂💜

This relay is bringing out both the best and worst in me at the same time 😅🤓🤣 I’ve finally solved a memory management issue for heavy REQs—I’m pushing the limits of what TypeScript allows me to do.

Did you know that besides nostrcheck.me, we also have these three domains? nostriches.club (Invite-only) plebchain.club (Invite-only, paid) nostrverse.net (Paid) The paid domains use NWC technology to calculate the cost based on the length of the username. If anyone wants an invite for nostriches.club or plebchain.club, let me know, and I’ll send it via DM! 🥳🥳🥳

I’m almost done with the new relay for nostrcheck-server, currently experimenting with search extensions. So far, it’s stable and fast with 3,000,000 events loaded into memory. I had to fine-tune every operation to avoid bottlenecks across the system. Querying such a large dataset is inherently slow, but on top of that, the relay has to handle hundreds of simultaneous requests over open WebSockets. To tackle this, the relay currently runs with a pool of n workers and a processing queue for heavy tasks. It’s fully compatible with all relevant NIPs. Not designed for 100 million events yet, but more than capable of efficiently handling community-scale needs. I’m sure I’m running into the same problems others have already solved, but I’m doing it anyway—because this is Nostr. We have to keep 500 incomplete and incompatible clients connecting to 500 incomplete and incompatible relays, otherwise, what are we even doing here? 🤣🤓 Good morning #nerdstr 🥳🥳
