you can find... - a full Bitcoin node (top 10 according to bitnodes.io) - a Nostr relay - Tor relays (guard, over 2 GBit/sec) - 28 TByte worth of open source software (with rsync access) All of that is served via IPv4 & IPv6, up to 20 GBit/sec, with lots of fast storage. Enjoy!

Hi @Edward Snowden, do you run your own lightning node? If so, how do you pick your peers for (I assume) mostly personal, low-volume transactions? Thanks!

Any DNS guru out there? The mirror server ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de appears to have some DNS issues according to Debian's mirror report checks, but I can't see what's wrong.

The nostr relay at wss://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/nostr just moved to new hardware, which is much faster. Give it a try! The nostr database is served from a fast SSD (NVMe) based HW-RAID1. With 20 GBit/sec of network connectivity, 256 GByte of RAM, and lots of CPU power, I believe speed shouldn't be an issue for the foreseeable future. If the storage demands grow, there's also around 30 TByte of HDD based disk space available. Hardware details are available at

If you have a channel with c-otto.de and want to move funds to my side of the channel, you might want to deposit some sats to Kraken (and withdraw on-chain?). I have lots of liquidity to Kraken and configured a fee rate of 0ppm. #LightningNetwork
