Biz / Biz is on Nostr

I'm here to chew gum and build Nostr and I'm all out of gum.

Seasoned software engineer (just salty enough) but new to #nostr

Very similar use cases, with very different implementations. I have a 24 acre farm and I've looked into LORA for setting up sensors but it's all very proprietary. A radio link protocol like APRS being used to exchange NOSTR messages using commodity hardware and open source software could work well for long range IoT networks

Looks to me like APRS over HF. I used to dabble quite a bit in TCP/IP over HF back in the day, we even had a working email system between our ships before Sat C made it redundant. Codan used to make really nice HF modems, don't know if they still do, but you don't really need much gear to get started these days.

I sat down a couple of weeks ago to try and wrap my head around Nostr and I accidentally wrote a relay in the process. I was initially thinking about just making a drop in replacement for Kafka/RabbitMQ but it could probably be used for lots of other things as well (like an actual Nostr relay for one). Thanks to @npub180c…h6w6 and others for their excellent work, it wouldn't have been so easy without them.

Just picked up a meter high stack of servers at a government auction for USD300, reckon I might give it a whirl

Trying to figure out how to convert a small amount of USDC I have in AirTM to BTC, any tips #nostr?

I should probably introduce myself - I'm Biz, at least that's what people have called me for more than half my life. I've done a lot of things in my time - sailor, soldier, tinkerer, madman - but I'm here to stack sats, stay humble and to help build a censorship free future with #nostr! Apologies in advance if I ask a dumb question, I'm a seasoned software engineer but new to all this

Looks great, but how do you get your relay off the unsafe list if you implement spam controls?
