Is there a Nostr relay implemented in Node with no dependencies that somebody can use on localhost for unit-testing client stuff?

2025-02-24 02:14:36

Nostr user experience report:
- Accidentally hit "like" on a post I don't like.
- Tried to hit like again to un-like it but it wouldn't work.
- Changed device to try again, it added another like to the total.
- Changed to a different client, tried to un-like again and it added another like to the total.
Me: I don't like this post.
Nostr: No, you really really like this post.

Thanks for letting me know. I guess I should just run some tests. 🤔

Do relays generally enforce some maximum size on notes? I can't find anything in the documentation about it. Asking for a friend.

What if you generate a little PoW for the recipient when you like a note?

2024-11-28 07:57:18

- reply

A mix of PoW, bayesian spam score, and other metrics like looking at who follows the user and the distance of their followers from you (WOT-ish measure) will probably get us a long way. These are not new technologies. The bayesian spam checker running on my email server filters 99% of spam and it is a very old piece of software with a simple implementation:

Having kids is the most challenging and the most rewarding thing you can do. The cliches are true. Prepare for emotional extremes. Prepare for your body to produce incredible drugs and mainline them straight into your brain. Prepare to care more about something other than yourself, truly, for the first time. Prepare for your relationship to be tested in a way that many don't survive. Prepare for the most intense sleep deprivation. Prepare for stupid rage. Get ready to cry. And unbridled joy of course. Get ready to wake up at 2am to figure out how you think about death and how to explain it to the person you least want to explain it to. From the moment the first one is born you will lose all control and you will only ever be as happy as your saddest child from that moment. On the worst days say to yourself "this is going to get easier" because that is also true.
Good luck. Do it.

tl;dr: for me it took a few weeks to see a drastic improvement to my sleep.
I quit in 2019 (by accident when I got sick and couldn't drink coffee). It takes a while because, as I understand it, your body creates more adenosine receptors when you are on caffeine and I guess it has to get rid of those before you start feeling normal. After a few weeks I began getting really amazing restful sleep and that basically improved everything, including my code!
