#chatmail relays are recently getting more artful in their web presence 🤩 Nice examples:

darkrun.dev in Ontario, or
bloc7.icu/ in Warszawa.

We estimate there are ~4 times more relays than in the published list at chatmail.at/relays

Many relays are smaller ones, but that's fine. A 5 EUR per month VPS can go a long way (thousands or tens of thousands of monthly users). Thanks for the service to all the operators of which around 40 are in a loose group chat 💗

thousands of small VPSs running on different infrastructure providers can support millions of users together. A chat platform that will truly belong to no one and everyone.

@Delta Chat @GoFedi Any chance y'all could offer this? Currently I'm running on a dedicated account on my email server, but I don't like how much space its taking up over there.

@GoFedi @Delta Chat I'm not sure its a relay I'm looking for or a host? I do know that my current system is less than ideal and prolly could use a replacement, but I'd still like to keep it on my domain if possible.

@capitan @gofedi truth be told, domains don't really play a big role in modern-day #chatmail chatting. It's not even easy to find addresses.

With the evolving multi-relay support, a chat profile can have multiple relays, further de-emphasizing "own" domain significance.

Is it possible to have *too* many relays added in the app? am i wrong for stockpiling on them just in case?

@ariarhythmic yes, it's not currently limited but don't do more than 3 or max 5. There is no point, and your device will keep open as many network connections. If all your three relays die, you can still add another one then, send a message to your chats, and are in the chat game again.

I think it would make sense to add the ability to mark relays as inactive or something, so you can stockpile without consequence

@ariarhythmic it's an advanced setting for now. In the longer run we want relay management to be automatic.
