Think of it as a dumb file buck. Push a blob, the server keys it by SHA-256, and you (or anyone) pull it back by that hash. Auth is signed Nostr events.

Someone turned nostrcheck.me into Spotify in an afternoon lol 🤣😊

Just pulled the numbers 😱 The top 1% of uploaders hold 82% of the bytes, way more skewed than I expected! Video alone eats 81% of total storage, and only 2k pubkeys touch it at all. So yeah, It's basically the only thing that moves the needle. Budget per heavy-video account, not per user, and you're fine 🥳 Reminder: nostrcheck.me is not a paid server.

The thread paints this as pricier than it is. Real nostrcheck.me numbers. 5k users, 250k files, 5M events, 2 TB served, 300-500 concurrent connections, and it costs me around 35 euros a month. With an 83% hit rate the origin barely serves 340 GB and Cloudflare eats the rest for free, so egress isn't the monster everyone assumes. Compute and storage don't strain either. At 50k you'd land around 100-200 euros/month with R2 and a dedicated box. Still pocket change next to any subscription. Best 🫂🫂

Nope, someone has to keep the internet alive while you deploy 🤣

Two of the biggest and oldest Blossom hosting providers just push changes straight into production, the way it’s meant to be. Move fast, break things. That’s what I love about nostr 😂😂🥳 BTW, GM Fishcake 🥳🫂

Good approach. Also, maybe it’s my libertarian subconscious, but I somehow ended up planting several different varieties of tomatoes 😂😂

😂😂😂 si, va a ser lo mejor. GM por cierto 🥳🥳

Spent the whole weekend working on my garden and vegetable patch. Can someone give me the TL;DR on whether humanity finally did something right… or can I keep growing tomatoes and ignoring the circus? Love you #nostr

Good night nostr 🫂🫂
