Yes aggr.nostr.land, and nostr.land publishes to relays

You should try nostr.land :) There is a lot more, and we pull in from hundreds of relays.

Anyway, use LE. Ask for a limit increase if you think you will do a high volume. Use the renewal API which is exempt from ratelimits when renewing

You can’t
An intermediate can issue certs for any domain so unless you are committed to being certified as being compliant to CA/B rules which will require a lot of expensive people and hardware, and can pay up big $$$ to an existing root CA to sign your intermediate, forget about it
Many “custom intermediates” are ones they manage fully for you, and only act as a whitelabeling service so the issuer is “Your Name” and not “EvilTrust Certificate Authority”

2026-01-29 22:39:21 UTC

- reply

Why do you need an intermediate? That would basically be running your own *public* CA and would have all the requirements of that.
You are stuck with LE or creating your own root

this applies to here as well…

nostr.land export is the only one worth using, no options to wrangle with or waiting a very long time to scan all relays:

reputation has a problem that it is an "asset" that can be converted to money by abusing it, and unlike a bond which has 1. value outside of the given context, and 2. can be paid out to victims as a form of reimbursement
the best example is a shop closing down. one that wants to earn the most before a permanent shutdown will burn their reputation in a last round of scams, before disappearing. not doing so is illogical, as they can't carry the reputation elsewhere.
and with an anonymous(-ish) marketplace, it becomes hard to tie reputation across identities

It should work with all clients since it's *for now* Nostr. What I am trying to point out is the constant eroding of "Nostr, the open protocol" to replace it with "Primal, the app". Many people fall for it.

“Bring your content to Primal”
What Primal is doing to Nostr is suspiciously similar to what Microsoft has been trying to do to the open web and protocols 🤔

Primal doesn't care about your relays, so it shouldn't affect it.
Try Nostur

The inherent problem with AI systems is that it is trained on human generated content, and is often biased during training to be a yes-man directly or indirectly from user feedback.
AI systems are somewhat chaotic systems just like humans, and changes in the input can cause large variations in the output. Just like how framing things differently or the topic will change a person’s reaction

the script runtime is cancelled.
I overestimated the interest of devs and vibecoders in such a system (+ it would be not be decentralized!). I also do not want to take that risk with arbitrary code.
but I am mostly shifting things to a more modular set of APIs and DVMs (translation, user trust, better search/metrics, etc.)

It’s called a trademark. There is no registered trademark so nothing can be done.
Movies fall under copyright which does not need registration. Hell, you can right now send DMCA requests to relays if someone reposts your content with meaningful copyrightable value like an article.

The node has been operating smoothly for the last 2h, no HW issues.

Nostr.land aggregates notes from many relays and pushes your posts to many relays. It’s a paid relay but it should speed up your experience a lot and increase your visibility.

Looks like the SATA controller decided to lock up. Node will be online once everything is confirmed good

Okay but aggr.nostr.land sends a clear blocked reason and your app just shows “Relay blocked this content”
just show the original message no matter the type

yeah I have been using it for a while, amazing lib
I guess I may be weird but sometimes I want stacktraces + KV pairs on my errors... since it is DB code, I need especially to store things like "which key caused the error" or "what value was invalid" to be used in reporting
one thing that I think more people should know is that debug.Stack does a global lock and you should instead use runtime.Callers and resolve on demand

Ah. Nostr.land does not have media hosting but you get a lot of relay benefits. For the Plus plan, media hosting with Nostr.build will be integrated soonish

the biggest giveaway is the structure.
usually in any type of labeling system, you use enums which can have a fixed set of values, and are usually represented like SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE or camelCase etc, not freeform text.
and no one does Naming_Of_Fields_Like_This, only_like_this, orLikeThis, OR_LIKE_THIS, VeryRarelyLikeThisIfYouUseGolang. And certainly not "content descriptions" like an LLM synthesizes, but categories like say
"Finance & Investing"

that could have been an AI hallucination that someone posted
after that when others asked for it, the AI ate its own hallucination that was posted on X, and so you continue

@npub1m4n…c2jl When trying to publish to relays in your fork, it would be much better if it showed the failure reason instead of "Relay blocked this content", as it can contain useful info.

2026-01-15 23:30:48 UTC

Trying @npub1m4n…c2jl's Jumble fork. Looks pretty nice.
I tried to use the standard Jumble but it feels too stuttery and the feed takes 10-15s to load. I wonder if it's an initial cache warm-up thing. @npub1syj…f6wl

Primarily the latter option. Depends on the value of your time.
And when you reach the threshold, you could write your own integration or tooling.

Working on this at aggr.nostr.land. It's not perfect yet but I am in the process of sifting through a ton of old archives I have and importing them, and making the user trust filter less aggressive.
