Update from the floods north of Austin. I stopped by the Round Mountain Baptist church this morning to help. They have dozens of firefighters performing Search and Recovery. They've asked untrained civilians to stay back from the search itself.
While I was there, a young woman interrupted our conversation to report two new names of missing people. The names were added to the list and search efforts continued. π
Lots of supplies have been dropped off from clothing to water to food. They are overwhelmed with the response from the community and are kindly asking people to hold back for now.
Also communicated a bit with @DocumentingATX on X who has been on the ground since this all started. He said supplies will be needed after Search and Recovery is done and we start to assess what residents really need. He's a great account to follow and support.
Thanks to all the amazing Bitcoin friends around the world who have sent in funds, y'all are amazing! I've been both shocked but also not surprised by the outpouring of support. It's what Bitcoiners do!
I've been talking with multiple groups to find the best ways to put the funds to use and am being told they will be needed here soon β to sit tight and stay ready.

Itβs so much easier just being a bitcoiner.
You donβt have to be a crypto grifter, or a political grifter, or a fiat grifter. You donβt have to sell something so hard because you deep down know itβs bullshit.
Bitcoiners stay humble, stack sats, focus on family and healthy living, truth and transparency, integrity, and fighting for whatβs right.

i do not think umbrel has auto updates enabled?
start9 definitely does not and also makes it easy to run knots instead
this change is not that significant, it is more how it is being handled that is disappointing, weird hill for core maintainers to die on
anyway I do not think there are many node runners out there that are not paying attention to this, especially those that run nodes of significant economic value
lets be honest, more people watch mstr podcasts than run nodes

My 2024 review and high-level report. Let's start with some stats for the nostr.build:
- 720 Million media requests served
- 650 TiB of bandwidth consumed
- 8 Million unique visitors
- 85% average cache hit rate
- Improved median CPU time per request from 200 down to 2 milliseconds per request
- 20 requests per second are served on average
- 99.994% uptime for the hosted media
- 98% uptime for the website and uploading servers
- 2.5K daily free uploads on average
Some improvements for the free uploads:
- Increased free upload size from 10MiB to 50MiB
- Increased image resolution from 1980px to 3840px
- Increased per server RAM from 1GiB to 4GiB
- Added full mirror of all uploaded media to the additional vendor (backup)
- Implemented moderation headers (can be used to hide NSFW content if desired)
Now some of the stats of my dev work for the nostr.build:
- 1,333 git commits
- 42 repositories with my contributions
- 10k+ lines of code written, or changed
Some features and completed projects:
- Rewritten nostr.build account page (AI, stats, nostr share, drag-n-drop, variaty of sizes, poster for video, etc.)
- Added AI Studio, onboarded multiple models from SD and Flux.
- Added media statistics
- Rewritten media serving front-end (dropping CPU utilization by 100x) and improving TTFB as well as cache hit rate (from 50%+ to 85%+ on average)
- Implemented variaty of the spam, and other illegal media upload prevention mechanisms (automated AI media scanner, PhotoDNA scanner, etc.)
- Implemented AI Moderation API that is shareable with other nostr media hosts (e.g., nostrcheck.me)
- Implemented upload of pdf, zip, etc., with full virus scanning.
- Various improvements to the PHP code, bug fixes and optimizations.
- Implemented e.nostr.build to allow easy embedding and sharing of the video/audio files for the account holders
- Referal links and account credits
- Onboarded more nostr clients for uploads (e.g., YakiHonne)
Some of the prototyping I've done for nostr.build:
- Semantic search of the media (ML based), multilingual
- Basic search for media using AI Vision
- Video transcoding using serverless and server-based setups
- Video transcoding to DASH/HLS (CMAF)
- Multi-party audio/video chat
Some of the in-flight projects that I'll have to complete in 2025:
- Seamless implementation of the Blossom protocol (70% done)
- Rewrite of the post-upload scanning to utilize workflows (50% done)
- New video upload and transcoding experience, HLS, DASH, VBR video/audio (10% done)
- New NoSQL based data-plane backend with the new API (50% done)
- Full rewrite of the Accounts page (5% done, blocked by new API and data-plane)
- Additional models for the AI Studio (90% done)
- <Secret projects with new experiences and features> (25% done)
I am sure I am forgetting a bunch, and this is only done from my memory.
