In the past month... ✅ Refactored Nosflare to be the most resilient, horizontally scalable Nostr relay. ✅ Completed true interop with bitchat on Nym, a real decentralized, censorship-resistant messenger that can be loaded locally and never shutdown or banned. Gonna spend the rest of this month working on new features and squashing bugs on Plebs, a truly decentralized, censorship-resistant YouTube/Vimeo/Rumble alternative that can also run locally and never be shutdown or banned. Then, going into the new year, I think I am going to take an extended hiatus from building on Nostr. It has been over 2yrs of grinding, thankless work and I'm a bit burnt out. All of the projects will remain in maintenance mode and I will still review PRs. I just need to expend such time/energy/resources elsewhere and touch grass more. 🙏

I'm not leaving Nostr... just taking a break from building anything new for a bit. I could never leave Nostr... its various apps are the only form of social media I use and I truly believe it's the only protocol that will allow for free voices in the future.

It will be a well deserved break. An idea I had for plebs, but forgot to ask you about it. Blossom servers have a 100mb limit. Would it be possible to divide the videos into chunks, and then reassemble them in the player? Basically a playlist of 100mb files that would play as the full video?
