How to run your own grain 🌾 nostr relay

This article will serve as the official guide for running a grain nostr relay. This article will be continually updated to reflect any changes in the software.

The Nostr Protocol: A Socio-Technical and Phenomenological Inquiry into Decentralized Communication

Nostr's decision to rely entirely on WSS is not just a technical optimization but a statement with political and philosophical implications. It rejects the server-centric, request-response paradigm of the mainstream commercial internet in favor of a paradigm centered on peer-to-peer, event-driven communication. This paradigm prioritizes the network's "liveness" and decentralization over the state management of a central server. The design philosophy of the HTTP model is that a client requests a "state" (like a webpage) from an authoritative server, making the server the center of the universe. The WebSocket model, born for bidirectional, persistent communication, is inherently more peer-to-peer oriented. Nostr chose the latter because its goal is not for a server to provide content, but for a network of peers to be able to perceive each other's activities in real time. This architectural choice directly gives rise to its political goal: achieving mass decentralization through extremely low participation costs, thereby fundamentally enhancing the network's censorship resistance.

Nostr Biweekly Review ( 3-16 Mar 2025)

In the past two weeks, Nostr statistics indicate over 225,000 daily trusted pubkey events. The number of new users has seen a notable decrease, with profiles containing a contact list dropping by 95%. More than 10 million events have been published, with posts and reposts showing a decrease. Total Zap activity stands at approximately 15 million, marking a 10% decrease. Additionally, 26 pull requests were submitted to the Nostr protocol, with 6 merged. A total of 45 Nostr projects were tracked, with 8 releasing product updates, and over 463 long-form articles were published, 29% focusing on Bitcoin and Nostr. During this period, 2 notable events took place, and 3 significant events are upcoming.

UPS retires fleet of MD-11 aircraft involved in deadly Kentucky crash

UPS announced Tuesday that it has retired its fleet of McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo planes just months after one crashed during takeoff, causing 15 deaths in Louisville.

The MD-11 cargo planes involved in last fall's deadly UPS crash in Louisville return to the air

The model of cargo plane that crashed in Kentucky last fall after an engine fell off a UPS jet as it was taking off resumed flying over the weekend.
